i just hope the shaky cam isn't used in every fight scene and car chase in this one

8/3/2007 5:42:34 PM

the commercials make it look like the shaky cam is back

but it never bothered me like it bothered everyone else

kinda makes you feel like you're there

8/3/2007 5:51:33 PM

just got back. Amazing movie, better than the first two imo. I can't name a trilogy off the top of my head that had a better third movie than first or second. There is alot of shaky cam, it kind of got to me the first ten minutes, but you get used to it after that.

8/3/2007 7:49:19 PM

can someone do a quick rundown of supremacy to refresh my memory real quick, i'm seeing ultimatum at 9:10

I remember Lola getting killed, and some other guy killing himself and something about another chick. but that's about it

something about a russian

sounds like you pretty much have the idea

8/3/2007 8:15:19 PM

I'm bourney

the sequel

8/3/2007 10:36:53 PM

i think these movies try to hard to make it a thriller when it is just an action movie

some of my nitpicky things, in at least 2 of the movies he can look through windows into CIA offices and in this one, landy has a monitor pointed at the window and the whazhisface, main 'villain' is handling top secret documents in front of the window.

do we still have to post Spoiler Alert in TWW movie threads?

also, why did bourne tell the guy he was in his office? he would have had zero trouble if he had kept his mouth shut. his only reason to talk to him was to get the name to get into the safe.

also, did they really expect to surprise people that he was alive at the end? how shocking!

i really like the fight scenes in these and all the other films as well as the portrayal of CIA and Black Ops.

the car/bike scenes, however, are overrated based on expectations going in.

8/3/2007 11:30:16 PM

THIS IS A CODE TEN ABORT!

8/4/2007 12:18:25 AM

so I saw it tonight and it rocked

the shaky cam did get tedious a couple times, virtually every shot in the entire movie that wasn't bird's eye was handheld or steadicam i guess.

but then i did some thinking and i can't imagine the movie not being shot like that, i dunno why.

so

A+++ will view again


and the car crash was pretty sweet

and "we'd be face to face" had everyone in the theater bein' like OH SNAP haha

shit all the car stuff was great, how he used the car as a weapon ramming into shit, badass

"he just drove off the roof" had me rollin'

i liked it, although not as much as the first two.

they are all great - its just for some reason this one Bourne never really felt like he was in danger much. He was so far above and beyond every else. I mean there was a lot of time spent just him maneuvering to get out of surveillance.

Lots of shaky cam too, at times I was a little bit swimming...but i had had like tons of drinks prior to the movie so..ya know.

8/4/2007 12:57:30 AM

Yeah, I thought it was pretty good as well. A nice solid sequel to a sequel. One thing I did notice was he wasn't "flying around" and using fake passports as much as in the previous movies.

8/4/2007 10:36:40 AM

OH MY GOD this movie was amazing! i want to go see it again!

8/4/2007 10:52:19 AM

Having loved the first 2 movies, I can only say that this was just as good, or even a tad better! My favorite moment in the movie was the morocco chase scene.. it was friggin awesome. A+++ Waiting for the DVD now

8/4/2007 1:50:45 PM

movie pretty much rocked my world. Kept me on the edge of my seat and thorougly entertained throughout. good shit

8/5/2007 1:30:15 AM

as i suspected this movie was just as good as the first 2....will recommend to friends

8/5/2007 1:38:41 AM

I love this series and this was a great way for it to go out.

*****SPOILER***** Will there be a 4th movie ever? *****SPOILER******

8/5/2007 3:19:40 PM

there was a 4th book

8/5/2007 3:24:02 PM

I think it would be kind of anticlimatic

8/5/2007 3:26:46 PM

^^Not written by Robert Ludlum

8/5/2007 3:48:12 PM

yeah, there was a fourth and now a fifth book (bourne legacy, bourne betrayal). I haven't read any of the bourne books, even Ludlom's, so I'm not sure if the last two continue with the books or the movie. However, I have read where the movies went so far away from the books that they didn't even have a full script for the beginning of production and had to really just make it up as they went along.

8/5/2007 4:53:45 PM

why do people get excited about scenes that were already in the trailers (for example the face to face comment)

im hoping they just havent seen trailers at all, otherwise its like "yay the trailer didnt lie!"

8/5/2007 6:59:05 PM

Because its baddas, and even more so when you see it happen in its full context.

I usually don't enjoy scenes I've already seen in a trailer, but that one was an exception. The setup that you don't see in the trailer and the feelings you develop against that grey haired guy make it very enjoyable

8/5/2007 7:20:34 PM

well yea but my message is for people that clap and are like OOO MYYY GOOODDD

8/5/2007 7:26:38 PM

i liked it, but not quite as much as the first two for some reason

PLOT Question and Spoiler













what was so difficult for Nikki re: bourne? hunting him in berlin? was there something way back that will come back in the 4th installment?

she says it during the dialogue after the kills the asset in tunisia.

8/5/2007 7:50:01 PM

im betting they dated before he became what he was

but then again she would have known his real name and probly told him

8/5/2007 8:11:40 PM

whatever it is will probably be in the deleted scenes on the dvd

"$70m haul makes Bourne the ultimate August movie Staff and agencies Monday August 6, 2007 Guardian Unlimited The Bourne Ultimatum No 1 son... Matt Damon in The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne Ultimatum broke records at the US box office by earning a mammoth $70.2m (£35m) in its opening weekend. The film's debut haul is the biggest August opening weekend ever, and spelled further good news for Hollywood's summer season. Directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, The Bourne Ultimatum easily overshadowed the opening weekend tallies of its predecessors. The Bourne Identity made $27.1m (13.2m) in 2002, while The Bourne Supremacy earned $52.5m (£25.7m) in 2005."

overall i thought the movie was great - a few action scenes with the motorcycles/scooters were slightly bad and i wish they would have had the fax machine actually faxing instead of scanning documents - maybe they had a special fax machine i've never seen before that sends as it scans....

Some of the phones they were using in the CIA building looked like they had probably had cameras. They wouldn't be allowed to take them into secure areas. Spy movies never follow real security protocols.

how does this compare to the new die hard movie?

I know HP has one. It sends the file as a PDF



Also, I did not fully understand why Bourne got into Treadstone. He said it was to save american lives, but why not just join the regular army? And why did they pick him? Did he have high test scores?

[Edited on August 6, 2007 at 4:56 PM. Reason : a]

8/6/2007 4:54:01 PM

our fax can send to email as PDF. Makes life easier for me

8/6/2007 5:12:20 PM

They referred to him as "Captain Webb" so he was probably a badass, and was obviously already in the American armed forces, and they needed a top level assassin to eliminate people around the world who were threats to America. He probably got tired of just being in the Army, and wanted a new challenge.

Did you pay attention to the movie at all?

yea but things like that where they [i]might[/b] have a camera and the average person doesnt automatically think a camera phone wouldn't be allowed is different from the obvious in your face "guy showing top secret documents in front of a window.

are you actually saying that the fax machine HP makes sends part of the pdf file before it created the whole file? what kind of retarded is this?

one of the main reasons they don't send the fax until the end is because of things like a paperjam or some other malfunction...i'm pretty sure all of them on the market are like this - i'd love to see this magical HP one that sends part of a file it's not done creating yet

8/6/2007 10:59:20 PM

our old fax machine was notorious for sending....ah fuck it, this arguement isn't worth it.

8/6/2007 11:20:19 PM

i was really impressed with the whole using the rear of the car for collisions

8/7/2007 12:12:27 AM

I loved it.

It'd be great to see more of them, but I doubt there will be any. This movie tied it off pretty nicely.


^ Hah, yeah. I was thinking "clearly the director's been to a demolition derby."
