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



Synopsis

The government's most wanted amnesiac super-spy returns in this thrilling third instalment in the Jason Bourne franchise. THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM picks up where the THE BOURNE SUPREMACY left off, with Bourne once again racing around the globe, desperate to uncover the secrets of his identity. Having just lost his girlfriend and only companion, his search for answers is now fuelled by much more than his own self-preservation. The film kicks off with Bourne tracking down a British journalist (Paddy Considine) who he believes has valuable information about his past. He quickly discovers that the government conspiracy runs far deeper than he realised, and so begins a riveting, action-packed game of cat and mouse with the CIA. Bourne plows through the bad guys like a mini-tornado, and after some breathtaking fight sequences and several nail-biting car chases, he closes in on the truth in a climactic stand-off on the streets (and rooftops) of New York City.
Joan Allen and David Strathairn are excellent as two battling CIA directors, and Julia Styles pops up for a small but important turn as Bourne's former government contact. Matt Damon continues to give Bourne the perfect mix of tough guy determination and sad-eyed desperation, and despite his physics-defying fists, he never comes off as the invincible super hero. Rather, the appeal of Bourne remains in his humanness--he feels pain, bloodies his knuckles, and mourns the loss of his lover. It's this emotional and physical vulnerability that keeps you on the edge of the seat, holding your breath for him. Well, that and the incredible fight scenes, of course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bourne Ultimatum, 20 Oct 2008
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is the best one of the 3 movies.
There is no respite in the action from beginning to end .It starts just after the end of the Moscow apartment visit in TBS and take sit from there.

Some of the action sequels repeat themselves to boredom and become predictive but not this one ,is all about thinking quick to stay alive for the next few minutes .

Directed by Paul Greengrass the average take is a couple of seconds a is shot mainly with hand held cameras , so it gives the impression that you see what Jason sees.Some viewers complain that it makes it difficilt to focus but to me it makes it look more real.

The sequence in Waterloo station is the best in the whole trilogy and the sequence in Morocco the second best.
We see a lot more of Nicky Parsons ( I wished she had a bigger role ).
Is more about answers that questions and 100 % action.

I hope the bring out a nice DVD trilogy set with lots of extras an deleted scenes.

Movie of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it really over?, 14 Dec 2007
A great conclusive end to the trilogy. I really hope they come up with a way of continueing it though.
If you've not seen the first 2 please don't watch this first! I don't think there is a best of the three - they're all equally, cooooel.

I flinched and bought a HD-DVD player for this and Transformers mainly. I'll stick my neck out and now say that I prefer Blu-ray. They just seems much better on the quality. The HD-DVD's menu's all seems to jerk around and this whole 'connect your player to the internet to download extra features' thing. What on earth is that about? Seriously, can't we just have it on the disk????

2.0 out of 5 stars Bourne Dissapointment, 6 Jan 2008
By Mr. Roy Foreman (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Bourne Identity was a superb film - one of my all time greats. The Bourne Supremacy, while not as good, was still an excellent film. Sadly the Bourne Ultimatum is not in the same league as the previous two films.

It is very difficult to folow the story line as the scenes dart about all over the show. Two minutes into the film and I had to rewind to the beginning to check that I had actually started at the beginning ! Fifteen minutes in and I still hadn't much of a clue what was going on - other than Bourne's on the run and the CIA are after him - but we knew that anyway.

The camera work in this film is appalling. The scene shots are so short it doesn't give you time to take in what's going on. And during the action scenes the camera is hosepiping all over the place, so all you actually see is a blurry mess. I constantly found myself saying "For God's sake put that camera on a tripod and keep it still so we can see what's really going on !"

The plot was quite good, just badly executed. Bourne is superb at running rings around the CIA, but how the hell did he get into the CIA building undetected ?

One of the things that made the original Bourne film so good was that it was realistic - you could actually believe that the events that happened could really happen. Not so with the Bourne Supremacy. Can't give specifics without giving the game away to those who haven't seen it yet, but the car chase in the original film is far more believable than the messy stunts in this film. Suffice to say that this film has gone the way of many modern films - it runs more like a fast action arcade game than a realistic movie. Such a shame as the potential was there to make it really entertaining.

My biggest regret is that I forked out extra cash for the high def version of this film - totally wasted on all the blurry action scenes !

I have seen the first two films over and over again because they inspire me to do so. Having seen The Bourne Ultimatum once, the DVD will now sit on a shelf for a long, long while.
