Bourne Again


We saw this movie recently and I must say it's even better than the first two Bourne movies (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy). The action is nonstop but not so over-the-top that the characters become "superheroes" or endowed with some superhuman abilities. The story kept to the plot and not muddled with so many subplots or surprise twists like how some movies are inclined to be. I have read the books a long time ago and I was truly thrilled when I found out a movie was coming out based on the Bourne character. I have to admit though that I wasn't so much in favor (at first) of Matt Damon playing the role of Jason Bourne just because I thought it should be played by an actor who's a bit older (like Daniel Craig or Clive Owen) but now that Matt Damon has gotten older and have some maturity in his face, his character is becoming more believable for me. He did a great job and deserved to be considered as one of Hollywood's best. Anyway, the movie is worth seeing and highly recommended.

hey rose!i just want to share same passion i had for Bourne... it's the most recent one I've watched with my bf. You know we've been dying for the episode to come out in the big screen, and I appreciated so much the Ultimatum, far better than the two. Eversince I really like Matt Damon, his masculinity and aggressiveness tinted with a soft aura ... i just wonder, could there be another part 4? the ultimatum ultimatum? hihihih ... take care dear!

We loved this movie. So fast paced and exciting. My most favorite part/dialogue: When Jason was on the phone with the 'bad guy' and he said: " ..then we will be having this conversation face to face.." sigawan ang mga miron.hehehe..
This movie had my adrenaline pumping.
