Yeah, the scene with Neski's daughter at the end basically underlines that Bourne is fundamentally decent, despite everything he's done - he's hurt and being hunted and didn't need to go there but he understands the way something like that hangs over your entire life and wanted to spare her that pain (the music cue for that scene is called "Atonement" and it's one of my favourites from the series).
Now that I think about it, it even ties back to the FIRST movie! There are a LOT of "tie backs" to how Borne does NOT wish to hurt CHILDREN. When he saw the picture of the Neski family, he realized that he had just orphaned a little girl. (planting the seed of doubt & REGRET deep in his mind.) Even if it is a "seed" he no longer consciously remembers. Then later, he couldn't shoot Wombosi (in the 1st movie) because his KIDS were right there! Meaning, he would have to either TRAUMATIZE them (by making them witness their Father's murder) OR kill THEM as well, to prevent there being ANY witnesses'! Not to mention when Borne "checked on" the sleeping children of the guy, whose house he was staying overnight in. (And watching over / playing with; them while they were playing on the swings!)
It's sad cause he was tricked and basically brainwashed into believing that he was protecting America by killing all those people. Which couldn't have been farther from the truth.
I think it's better the way it was because he was reading her facial expressions during their conversation. Psychological intelligence is acquired in this way and it was just another accurate detail of the way a ghost operates. I'm obsessed with the history of the CIA and it's "sub-projects".@@schtoobs
My favorite plot device for random movies.... 24:00 Horror Movie - perfectly good car in a driveway "why won't this car start?" Action Movie - car has bullet holes in one of more sides, smashed into a wall, hit by one or more other cars, door falling off, bumper fell off 5 minutes ago.... still purring like a kitten, runs fine.
Them taking out Marie early was a great move by the writers. It sets the tone for the whole movie, shook things up early and makes you really root for him moving forward. This trilogy is so well done. I'm glad you're enjoying them so much! Can't wait to see you watch Ultimatum!
Addie, definitely watch all of the Bourne movies. ALSO For a great series that is kinda similar watch the The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series. Daniel Craig starred in a great remake of the first movie, but I recommend the original trilogy.
She made me _believe_ that she really thought she was about to die. Some credit has to go to the writing, but her performance was really excellent. Haven't seen too many other actors do that sort of situation that well.
It started early for her too. Theer is a scene in Save The Last Dance where Derrick's friend Malachi is terrorizing a girl in the bathroom (a junkie who owed him money, but still a high school girl) and she intervenes. He chases her, throws her against the wall and threatens her. Her scared look and wince when he hits the wall right next to her head is pretty good nonverbal acting.
The 2 scenes where he's on the phone with Pamela and says something to let her know he's watching sends a strong message that any of them could be dead any time if they cross him. That first time cracks me up because they're all in that random hotel room thinking they're on top of things and hunting Bourne and suddenly they realize that he's been watching them and could have taken them all out right there.
The funny thing for me in that scene is that if that were me, My first instinct when I realized he was watching me, would be to drop to the ground and hope he couldn't see me, not look out the window. I'm not military trained, they are, or at least spend enough time around them in hostile environments to know that too.
I Luv the Bourne series! Supremacy is my favorite of them all! Bourne always has the agency fooled! I hope you continue till the end of the series. You'll love it! Thanks for sharing Addie ❤️💛
The "Marie" actress was in two German movies I enjoyed before these movies came out (only found out last week): Run Lola Run, and The Princess and the Warrior.
9:15 sometimes its frustrating, sometimes confusing, sometimes absolutely terrifying. Bits do come back in nightmares, but mostly something triggers a memory like a sight, sound or smell. Imagine something between a dream you cant quite remember and a thought that's on-the-tip-of-your-tongue. Combine that with vivid dreams/nightmares/night-terrors and it's almost impossible to tell if its real memory or not. Like other PTSD symptoms it becomes impossibly exhausting.
16:22 This movie is kinda crazy on a rewatch. Early on, they explain that this trade that went bad was about info on a leak from a traitorous member within the agency. Combine that with his aggressive pushback at every turn and it feels obvious in retrospect that he was involved and trying to cover his own ass.
You're going to love the third one. Joan Allen (Pam) was also in a movie called Death Race with Jason Statham. (not to be confused with Death Race 2,000). Anyway, she plays a very different role in that one. She's very cruel and mean. Which just shows what a great actress she is. I don't think you'd like Death Race but feel free to watch it, however it has some gore to it so, fair warning.
Yeah, it's quite good. Maybe a bit over-the-top in some of the action, but the story was still pretty compelling and I liked most of the performances quite a bit.
10:12 He did it for the exact reason we saw. He baited them, allowing him to intercept the security officer’s phone and listen in on the CIA for a lead, while also getting a car and a gun.
In the books, Bourne was married with children. The wife and his daughter died. His son was presumed dead. This was why he joined Treadstone. Marie also survived. She did die after the books of natural causes.The books get a little crazy.
The movies deviate so much from the books (I just read the three original Ludlum novels, so anything past those is unknown to me), that information from the books has limited impact. The only thing they took from the second book is that he loses Marie (though she doesn't die) and that someone is "framing" him for assassinations through impersonation. But the plot is completely different apart from those aspects (the story takes place in Asia, not Europe). The third movie is completely different from the third book and has no shared plot elements as far as I remember. Even the first book and the first movie only share the basic premise of an assassin who loses him memory and gets mistakenly hunted down by the CIA in common. The CIA is actually doing something positive in the books (hunting down a terrorist called Carlos The Jackal, loosely based on the terrorist of the same name), they just think Bourne has gone rogue. This probably worked best in 1980, when the novel was written and Carlos was still on the run. So I understand the change made for the first movie, also because the CIA's reputation for shady operations had become more widespread in the early 2000's.
Personally I highly recommend watching The Bourne Legacy, with Jeremy Renner after Ultimatum and before "Jason Bourne." It is slightly different from Matt Damon but still very worthwhile. Also as some others have recommended, the Mission Impossible movies are a great action, spy mystery series if you like this genre! Would very much enjoy watching your reactions to those as well if you haven't seen them yet!
And I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to the third Bourne movie. These are movies that are fun to watch someone else watch it for the first time.
This trilogy (much like the John Wick movies) are cool in that you keep expecting the sequels to disappoint, but they just don't. I also just recently watched the (I believe) 4th movie titled only Jason Bourne, and that was worth a watch as well.
"I had to close down everything. I had to close down my mind. Too many things could cut me. Too much can make me blind. I've seen so much in so many places. So many heartaches, so many faces. So many dirty things. You couldn't even believe."
Each of these films brings something new to the table and introduces a new aspect of Bourne. This is one of those that for me, the first was good, the second better, and the third great. I can't wait for you to watch the next one!
I like the cat and mouse... I like when he's smart enough to stay out of the way... I felt so bad when he realized she's dead because he switched places in the car!
Great reaction Addie! Definite case of the sequel being even better, although it's better just to look at the whole first trilogy of Identity, Supremacy, & Ultimatum as being a great trilogy. I liked the stand-alone Legacy with Jeremy Renner also, & the last Jason Bourne with Matt Damon as well. Happy watching!
You should watch Red 1 & 2 sometime. They are fun action-comedy movies and rather underrated in my opinion. Starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Brian Cox. Karl Urban is in the first one and is great. Morgan Freeman is in it too, and Richard Dreyfus plays a baddie who is immensely hateable. The second one has Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta Jones and Neal McDonough.
Do NOT feel bad that you like this one better than the first. That is every film maker's and star's wish. The follow-up film does just as good or BETTER. When you see a SERIES, the goal is NOT to lose the audience before the series is even over. You want each step to go Higher and HIGHER until you've reached the end. Or Climax of the series. If the series is getting better and better, then the filmmakers are doing their jobs, and doing it WELL. Great Post. I can't wait until movie 3.
Franka Potente (Marie) starred in amazing movie called "Run, Lola, Run" prior to the Bourne movies. It's a hectic action movie that has a huge fan base. It is in German, but it is well translated in the captions. You should react to it!
This one is my favorite of the main trilogy, also. The spycraft he uses is top notch and he spends the whole movie just dominating the entire CIA. That's not to say the third movie isn't great also.
You mentioned recognising Karl Urban from LOTR (amongst other films). The guy Jason fights here at 10:30 was also in LOTR - his name is Marton Csokas and like Karl, another actor from New Zealand who looks very different from his LOTR role. He has a much larger role in the first Equalizer movie, which I don't think you've reacted to yet, so that's all I'll say here... 🙂
Addie, the danger that's Bourne gets bigger here with The Bourne Supremacy (2004). The camerawork also gets shakier, now that Paul Greengrass directs. Marie's death, at the beginning, was very heartbreaking. I agree with you here (in response to the title of this video), Bourne deserved a happier life, and better, but now has to keep running again. Just like with the previous movie, I also own this one on DVD in both Widescreen (2.39:1) & Full Screen (1.33:1) formats as well. See you soon for The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).
I can’t remember if I commented on your Bourne Identity video.. but The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner is worth a watch. It can after the third Bourne film with Matt Damon. And don’t forget Jason Bourne which is the 5th and final film that also stars Matt Damon😊
"I think I like number two better than one." I felt that way too when I saw it but now I love number three better than two. Can't wait to see it with you.
I couldn't agree more with you Addie... 'The Supremacy' is somehow even better than the original (it's my fav of the 4)... YES 4! The trilogy (Identity - Supremacy - Ultimatum) come from the book series... BUT... the last movie 'Jason Bourne' (not the 4th, but the 5th and last one made) is DEFINITELY WORTHY of a continuation in this reaction series as a 'final chapter'. Please consider reacting to it!
Take solace: Jason and Marie have a long love story in the books! I assume the movie makers totally changed the story because they wanted nothing but action. I was shocked when I saw this too, because Marie was a main character in the books. I have to take the movies as their own thing. Another thing your instincts are right about is the crazy camera shaking. When this movie came out, people noted that the camera movement was dialed up too much. Keep up the great work!!!
Sad to see Marie firdged in this movie but it is a great movie. The whole trilogy is great. I love the stalker stuff Jason does with Landy and always the Moby "Extreme Measures" end song tag. Bourne telling the Neski daughter was sad. Poor Danny, trusting the wrong people. Bourne Ultimatium coming up! The Bourne Identity actually got me to like Matt Damon at the time.
A master of shaky-cam is like being a master of shit juggling, it may be a skill but not something any one should be impressed with. It's a lazy way to direct action that allows the director to not give a shit about coreography.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w Actually i disagree highly with this take. There are many forms of style. Greengrass' shaky cam, isnt just shaky cam for the sake of it. His style creates documentary style atmosphere, where it's as if the action is happening there and then, so the camera doesn't always know where to go etc. I think I prefer Supremacy as a film, but ultimatum does tone the shakyness down notch to a good in between balance. But your all shakyness is "shit juggling" is a stupid take.
My main reason for me hating the shaky-cam was that it was such a departure from Identity. I liked the fighting scenes in the first because it was new and removed from the other action movies of the time. The fights (like in the Paris apartment) were series of short bursts of very few moves, some of it rooted in Philippino Kali stick fighting. I also didn't like Supremacy because I liked Marie's character, and they killed her off right at the beginning. :((
*Book Spoiler* Actually in the books he did have a family that was killed in a bombing while he lived in Vietnam. Its what pushed him to become an operative because he had nothing left to lose.
This one was my favorite of the first three, but the next one is quite good too and ends the story well. The fourth and fifth in the series, really nothing to write home about. The first three really were like the first three Star Wars films, the showstoppers, with a young Matt Damon at his prime.
I struggle between this and Identity as my favourite of the franchise. But this one does have the best car chase of all of them by far. Matt Damon secured he's "Can do anything" status with this one... And Karl Urban started his now well proven path to that status as well. (Although "Bones" was his, can do nothing wrong moment.)
Jeremy Renner rides his own Harley Davidson, so he knows how to ride. But Rachel Wiese co-stared never been on a motorcycle. So fear she shows on motorcycle chase is real fear. You need to check out this movie in series too! You'll like it! An it ties things together on why special group were treated medically? What they now can do physically and mentally! Motorcycle stunt, sliding down railing, an motorcycle to motorcycle transfer, has never been done before in movie?
I've honestly always found Julia Stiles to be incredibly bland -- both on- _and_ off-screen. I wish someone like, say, Shiri Appleby or Thora Birch had played Nicky instead.
The massive plot hole in this is that Abbot wouldn’t have waited until the end to make the call. He’d have been on the phone the second Bourne showed up in Naples.
Imagine a Batman movie modeled after the Bourne films. He's the best there is at everything he does. He's always one step ahead of everyone else. He doesn't need to drive on rooftops to escape in a car chase. His fights are fast and decisive. Minor changes to the plotline and it would be a massive success!
@@seventhson2151 Batman Begins was a good movie, but the skill level they presented wasn't even close to Bourne... and the car chase was almost comical.
Karl Urban was aiming for Bourne when he shot the girl in the car. remember he doesnt know that they switched seats. last he saw Bourne was driving.
yep
It’s great writing as a good idea that horrifically backfires.
Bourne had also told her to get her head down earlier. It's possible that he didn't see her and thought Jason was the only one in the car.
He really boned that job. Should have used Des and Troy.
Im just amazed Urban was in this for such a small part!... I guess he was still building his name
Yeah, the scene with Neski's daughter at the end basically underlines that Bourne is fundamentally decent, despite everything he's done - he's hurt and being hunted and didn't need to go there but he understands the way something like that hangs over your entire life and wanted to spare her that pain (the music cue for that scene is called "Atonement" and it's one of my favourites from the series).
Now that I think about it, it even ties back to the FIRST movie!

It's sad cause he was tricked and basically brainwashed into believing that he was protecting America by killing all those people. Which couldn't have been farther from the truth.
When he says Get some rest pam you look tired!!! Goosebumps every time!!! One of the Best Action Trilogies!!!
Yep, and then that Moby intro comes in, iconic!
If you were in your office, we'd be having this conversation face to face...
Would've been better if it cut back to him and he was just sunbathing on a tropical beach giggling to himself.
I think it's better the way it was because he was reading her facial expressions during their conversation. Psychological intelligence is acquired in this way and it was just another accurate detail of the way a ghost operates. I'm obsessed with the history of the CIA and it's "sub-projects".@@schtoobs
My favorite plot device for random movies.... 24:00

I like the way the books run. Starting with this movie they veer away from the storylines in the books.
Addie, definitely watch all of the Bourne movies.
ALSO
For a great series that is kinda similar watch the The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series. Daniel Craig starred in a great remake of the first movie, but I recommend the original trilogy.
I've always thought that the Bourne trilogy paved the way for John Wick, but it never occurred to me that they even "killed the dog" 😂
Julia Stiles is amazing at playing "Pants-pissingly terrified". She does it in season 5 of Dexter also.
She made me _believe_ that she really thought she was about to die. Some credit has to go to the writing, but her performance was really excellent. Haven't seen too many other actors do that sort of situation that well.
It started early for her too. Theer is a scene in Save The Last Dance where Derrick's friend Malachi is terrorizing a girl in the bathroom (a junkie who owed him money, but still a high school girl) and she intervenes. He chases her, throws her against the wall and threatens her. Her scared look and wince when he hits the wall right next to her head is pretty good nonverbal acting.
I loved Julia Stiles performance in this one. And Joan Allen was amazing. Karl Urban, best Mccoy.
Yes Bourne trilogy is the rare case where most of people agree that the movies keep getting better from their previous ones
Which is crazy because they already were great to begin with.
The part with Nevsky's daughter is my favorite scene of the entire series. It's so understated and beautiful! Love love love.
Lilja 4-ever
Matt Damon joked that the last film of the trilogy would be called 'The Bourne Redundancy'. It didn't even turn out to be the last film!
The actress who plays Neski’s daughter does such a good acting job at the end. Her reaction was really believable
The 2 scenes where he's on the phone with Pamela and says something to let her know he's watching sends a strong message that any of them could be dead any time if they cross him. That first time cracks me up because they're all in that random hotel room thinking they're on top of things and hunting Bourne and suddenly they realize that he's been watching them and could have taken them all out right there.

I Luv the Bourne series! Supremacy is my favorite of them all! Bourne always has the agency fooled! I hope you continue till the end of the series. You'll love it! Thanks for sharing Addie ❤️💛
Old Mercedes are tanks. That taxi is the most believable part of the chase scene. 😂
Those Mercedes are the most reliable cars of all time. Used to go on road trips to Europe with them. Such faceful cars
The "Marie" actress was in two German movies I enjoyed before these movies came out (only found out last week): Run Lola Run, and The Princess and the Warrior.
I'm really loving watching you react to my OLD favorite movies, and even older ones. Thank you!
Apart from Karl Urban, there's also Marton Csokas (agent who's house blew up), who played Lord Celeborn, Galadriel's husband.
I assume when you edited you got to appreciate your "He's had some training." Cracked me up.
9:15 sometimes its frustrating, sometimes confusing, sometimes absolutely terrifying. Bits do come back in nightmares, but mostly something triggers a memory like a sight, sound or smell.

Combine that with his aggressive pushback at every turn and it feels obvious in retrospect that he was involved and trying to cover his own ass.
Yep, Supremacy is definitely the best in the OG trilogy.
I genuinely think Supremacy is the greatest action film of all time
I keep the soundtrack to all 3 movies on repeat. The world building in the music is amazing
You're going to love the third one. Joan Allen (Pam) was also in a movie called Death Race with Jason Statham. (not to be confused with Death Race 2,000). Anyway, she plays a very different role in that one. She's very cruel and mean. Which just shows what a great actress she is. I don't think you'd like Death Race but feel free to watch it, however it has some gore to it so, fair warning.
Why is Brian Cox such a damn good actor, in EVERYTHING he does!?
Karl Urban is a ton of fun in RED.
He is great in every movie he is in.
YES!!! Been waiting for this one since watching your first one reaction. :D
Give the Renner episode a look. It's a parallel story and, I think, lives up the this series.
Yes I really like that movie too.
Yeah, it's quite good. Maybe a bit over-the-top in some of the action, but the story was still pretty compelling and I liked most of the performances quite a bit.
I love it! Don’t forget about the Bourne Legacy. You get more info about the program.
The final Bourne movie goes deeper into his past and how he became Jason Bourne
The Final or the final in the trilogy?
@@graciefolden2359I think the last Bourne film in 2016
10:12 He did it for the exact reason we saw. He baited them, allowing him to intercept the security officer’s phone and listen in on the CIA for a lead, while also getting a car and a gun.

@@YouHaventSeenMeRight there was a B.I. miniseries in the 80s, starring Richard Chamberlain, you can find it on yt.
@@zvimur I saw it when it came out. It does stick closer to the plot of the first book. It might be a tad slow for today's audiences.
Personally I highly recommend watching The Bourne Legacy, with Jeremy Renner after Ultimatum and before "Jason Bourne." It is slightly different from Matt Damon but still very worthwhile.
Also as some others have recommended, the Mission Impossible movies are a great action, spy mystery series if you like this genre! Would very much enjoy watching your reactions to those as well if you haven't seen them yet!
Another good movie with the same type of guy on the run plot is, "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford. The best movie adapted from a TV show.
US Marshals was also a great sequel.
You’re not crazy, that is the best one. 3rd one takes a step back but it still really good.
The scene in the train station with the journalist in the third one is so good! Peak Bourne. I do love this one the most though.
It's the curse of 3s in a trilogy 😬
And I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to the third Bourne movie. These are movies that are fun to watch someone else watch it for the first time.
I really like the 4th Bourne movie starring Jeremy Renner & Rachel Weisz in "The Bourne Legacy".
This trilogy (much like the John Wick movies) are cool in that you keep expecting the sequels to disappoint, but they just don't. I also just recently watched the (I believe) 4th movie titled only Jason Bourne, and that was worth a watch as well.
I dunno, I was pretty disappointed by John Wick 4.
"I had to close down everything. I had to close down my mind.
Too many things could cut me. Too much can make me blind.
I've seen so much in so many places. So many heartaches, so many faces.
So many dirty things. You couldn't even believe."
It's fun revisiting these films. Nice commentary too.
30:31 Pam was a great new character, and she’s just as great next movie. A very welcome addition.
Hi Addie, nice to meet you. I don't remember anything about this movie, but I know that this movie is amazing, it's the best.❤
haven’t seen Supremacy in a long time so this will be like a first time watch…thanks Addie! 😁
Speaking of Spying, I recommend Mission Impossible series. It's totally worth it 👌.
#MissionImpossibleForAddieCounts
Imagine the surprise for us that read the books when Marie died...She didn't die in the books!
Good one, Addie! This was a fun one to rewatch with you. Thanks! 🙂
Each of these films brings something new to the table and introduces a new aspect of Bourne. This is one of those that for me, the first was good, the second better, and the third great. I can't wait for you to watch the next one!

Bourne Supremacy is the best of the Bourne films; a rare sequel that is better than the original
Just in case you don't know, the third film is essentially part two of this film, so you might want to watch it while this one is fresh in your mind.
You should see Dredd. If you want to see Karl Urban frown 🤣
I love Addie's little eye twitch "But it wasn't Bourne."

One of the few movie trilogies(the first 3 in this case) where every movie is great.
I think the third one is my favorite. Looking forward to your reaction!
Addie, you've picked up on all the nuances of this movie much quicker than any other reactor. Good work!
This one is my favorite of the main trilogy, also. The spycraft he uses is top notch and he spends the whole movie just dominating the entire CIA. That's not to say the third movie isn't great also.
8:09 “Fun” Fact: Matt Damon actually broke this actor’s nose and really knocked him out by accident.
I really prefer the cinematography on the first one. The shaky cam doesn't add anything to the film. Unfortunately the director changed.

Hi Addie !!!! If you enjoy this series of Movie you might really enjoy Bruce Willis in Red & Red 2. As always the like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊
Oh boy how much I waited for this
For me, this one was better than the first and possibly the best of the series. Great reaction. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Karl Urban was in a New Zealand tv show called Shortland Street in the 90's.
Gotta do the 3rd now
I can’t remember if I commented on your Bourne Identity video.. but The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner is worth a watch. It can after the third Bourne film with Matt Damon. And don’t forget Jason Bourne which is the 5th and final film that also stars Matt Damon😊
"I think I like number two better than one." I felt that way too when I saw it but now I love number three better than two. Can't wait to see it with you.
I couldn't agree more with you Addie... 'The Supremacy' is somehow even better than the original (it's my fav of the 4)... YES 4! The trilogy (Identity - Supremacy - Ultimatum) come from the book series... BUT... the last movie 'Jason Bourne' (not the 4th, but the 5th and last one made) is DEFINITELY WORTHY of a continuation in this reaction series as a 'final chapter'. Please consider reacting to it!
The third movie is just Bourne sitting on a recliner and watching TH-cam videos. Nothing crazy happens in the third. It's very controversial.
as opposed to the martian where he is sitting on a recliner and _making_ youtube videos
Take solace: Jason and Marie have a long love story in the books! I assume the movie makers totally changed the story because they wanted nothing but action. I was shocked when I saw this too, because Marie was a main character in the books. I have to take the movies as their own thing.
Another thing your instincts are right about is the crazy camera shaking. When this movie came out, people noted that the camera movement was dialed up too much.
Keep up the great work!!!
There are 2 more you need to watch.. The bourne ultimatum and Jason Bourne. I'll wait for it. :)
Julia Stiles brings such an interesting, if subdued, vibe to her role.
I like the development of Bourne's character... it is so good.
And Pamala being... not so secretive and hostile. The next may be my fave though.
Sad to see Marie firdged in this movie but it is a great movie. The whole trilogy is great. I love the stalker stuff Jason does with Landy and always the Moby "Extreme Measures" end song tag. Bourne telling the Neski daughter was sad. Poor Danny, trusting the wrong people. Bourne Ultimatium coming up! The Bourne Identity actually got me to like Matt Damon at the time.
"He has his eyes on you!"
I love sassy Addie.
The first three of the Bourne movies are unusual in that they're all very strong.
The rest of them are just as good. Glad you liked this one and curious about the rest of them. Good reaction.
Greengrass gets flak for the shaky-cam, but he's a goddam master at it. It's his imitators with far less skill where the problem starts.
A master of shaky-cam is like being a master of shit juggling, it may be a skill but not something any one should be impressed with.
It's a lazy way to direct action that allows the director to not give a shit about coreography.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w Actually i disagree highly with this take. There are many forms of style. Greengrass' shaky cam, isnt just shaky cam for the sake of it. His style creates documentary style atmosphere, where it's as if the action is happening there and then, so the camera doesn't always know where to go etc. I think I prefer Supremacy as a film, but ultimatum does tone the shakyness down notch to a good in between balance.
But your all shakyness is "shit juggling" is a stupid take.
@esinach Agree. John Wick, for example, is great, but not everything has to be that style. There's room for both.
My main reason for me hating the shaky-cam was that it was such a departure from Identity. I liked the fighting scenes in the first because it was new and removed from the other action movies of the time. The fights (like in the Paris apartment) were series of short bursts of very few moves, some of it rooted in Philippino Kali stick fighting. I also didn't like Supremacy because I liked Marie's character, and they killed her off right at the beginning. :((
Greengrass's camera moves like an eyeball, flicking around in a series of saccades.
"I emptied it"
"it felt a little light"
-sounds like Liam Neeson took notes!
In real life when Matt jumpped off the bridge onto the barge he messed up his leg pretty badly.
I wish I could forget these movies so I could experience watching them again for the first time. It's a great series.
You're saying you wish you had amnesia? 😂
@@Belhadelimited amnesia lol. Just forget a few movies so I can watch them again for the first time lol
*Book Spoiler*
Actually in the books he did have a family that was killed in a bombing while he lived in Vietnam. Its what pushed him to become an operative because he had nothing left to lose.
This one was my favorite of the first three, but the next one is quite good too and ends the story well. The fourth and fifth in the series, really nothing to write home about. The first three really were like the first three Star Wars films, the showstoppers, with a young Matt Damon at his prime.
Hey, Addie, another good Karl Urban movie you might enjoy that I highly recommend is Dredd.
You’re gonna LOVE Ultimatum. It’s truly a masterclass
booourne ultimatum nowww !!!!
I struggle between this and Identity as my favourite of the franchise. But this one does have the best car chase of all of them by far.
Matt Damon secured he's "Can do anything" status with this one... And Karl Urban started his now well proven path to that status as well. (Although "Bones" was his, can do nothing wrong moment.)
Jeremy Renner rides his own Harley Davidson, so he knows how to ride. But Rachel Wiese co-stared never been on a motorcycle. So fear she shows on motorcycle chase is real fear. You need to check out this movie in series too! You'll like it! An it ties things together on why special group were treated medically? What they now can do physically and mentally! Motorcycle stunt, sliding down railing, an motorcycle to motorcycle transfer, has never been done before in movie?
The fifth Bourne movie, Jason Bourne, gives us the story of how he became Jason Bourne.
My only complaint with the Bourne movies is that Julia Stiles didn't have a bigger part. Nicky is a really interesting character.
I've honestly always found Julia Stiles to be incredibly bland -- both on- _and_ off-screen. I wish someone like, say, Shiri Appleby or Thora Birch had played Nicky instead.
A good thriller action I think the trilogy gets better with each one. Have you seen the Final Destination movies?
The massive plot hole in this is that Abbot wouldn’t have waited until the end to make the call. He’d have been on the phone the second Bourne showed up in Naples.
Imagine a Batman movie modeled after the Bourne films. He's the best there is at everything he does. He's always one step ahead of everyone else. He doesn't need to drive on rooftops to escape in a car chase. His fights are fast and decisive. Minor changes to the plotline and it would be a massive success!
it's called Batman Begins
@@seventhson2151 Batman Begins was a good movie, but the skill level they presented wasn't even close to Bourne... and the car chase was almost comical.
@@seventhson2151 Still my favorite of that trilogy.
It’s a tough call, but I think this is my favourite of the Bourne movies.
