Amazon.co.uk Review
There’s no getting around it: there was simply no better summer blockbuster in 2007 than the astonishing The Bourne Ultimatum.
It’s a film that defies expectations in many ways. Firstly, it’s a third entry in a trilogy that by some distance in the best in an already-compelling franchise. Secondly, whenThe Bourne Ultimatum kickstarts with a ferocious energy and pace, you sit there and rightly expect it not to keep the momentum going. But it does. And does it astonishingly well. Just witness the breathless sequence through Waterloo Station, convince yourself that the film has peaked then, then go and watch them top it later on in the movie.
The film itself has many trump cards, not least its leading man. Matt Damon fits the character of reluctant lead Jason Bourne perfectly, but the trick is to give him some excellent supporting players to work against. Thus, The Bourne Ultimatum also stars the excellent pair of David Straitharn and a returning Joan Allen, along with Albert Finney, Paddy Considine and Julia Stiles too.
But the hidden hero of The Bourne Ultimatum is director Paul Greengrass. Arguably one of the most interesting and talented directors working today (he was rightly Oscar-nominated for his haunting United 93), Greengrass has fashioned a genuinely thrilling action thriller, that bursts with an energy and relentlessness that you simply have no right to expect. That he also managed to wrap up the story Jason Bourne’s quest for his identity in the midst of it is all the more astonishing.
A terrific end to an already-impressive trilogy, there’s little else ot say about The Bourne Ultimatum, which is simply a near flawless piece of blockbuster entertainment. Put simply: don’t miss this movie. --Simon Brew

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great ending to a brilliant trilogy,
By
This review is from: The Bourne Ultimatum [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
Matt Damon was never on my list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum.
If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits all the information you've gathered in 'Identity' and 'Supremacy' and we finally see the full picture of Jason Bourne's troubled past. The Bourne Ultimatum has a great plot and with fantastic action and fight sequences Ultimatum ranks as one of the best action movies of 2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars
lacking action for the first hour but still very watchable,
By
This review is from: The Bourne Ultimatum [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
When i watched the first film in the trilogy,i was blown a way by the quality of the script,the action and superb acting.The second was very,very good but not as good as the first.This film,the third is on par with the second.A few too many flashbacks to the previous film for my taste but not enough to spoil the story.This storyline knits together the trilogy and for the first hour is lacking action though it is still a class act.Then we have an packed ten minutes and the film begins to build some momentum.The action scenes in the second film were a bit chaotic and sometimes difficult to follow but not in this one.Again,well written,directed and acted it is similar to the Mission Impossible series when i would suggest,the first of the trilogy was more in the James Bond Genre.I sincerely hope there is more in the series as i would definitely watch them.Recommended in the blu-ray format as not only is the picture better,as you would expect, but i find the sound far superior too.
