Just back from the new Bourne movie

Changing the actors usually kills a movie franchise.

I hear Total Recall was a flop.

Recall wasn't that bad of an action movie. You knew what it was before you got there, so it wasn't a big surprise. Bourne just never really took off. I expected it to be a lot darker and action packed, but it really wasn't. Really bad ending too.

Not this?

How can you top the first three, they were great movies. I'll check it out this weekend. Without giving too much away, do they even touch on what happen to Jason Bourne or do they just not talk about him at all?

too bad most directors are sticking to old shit.alot of classic stuff is remade and change the name.

some of the scenes were shot in the Philippines...

It was confusing at first and hard to follow. Seems the write and director were more interested in getting mountain shots than setting a plot.

When I started to understand it and it's relationship to the Bourne series, I was thinking "Why not just have a new series?" as it was such a tenuous link it made it absurd to link it to Bourne, other than disappoint a few customers.

Then it fell into the same paranoia theme as so many of these movies. Big Brother is out to get the good guys.

Plot poor. Written by a team of computers.

Action sequences, poor because they've been done so many time. The cop car chasing the bike was stupid. Cars in heavy traffic go nowhere.

digital stuff, done before.

Acting, poor no one came across as believable or even caring.

Personally we loved Ted, he was a better actor and more believable than Cross. Except for the mushy American ending it was great.

Without spoiling the plot... Yes, they mention him quite a bit. But it's more in a way of trying to connect Renner and what's happening currently.

Agreed. This could have been a stand alone movie with a different title. I think what made it lame was they were trying to continue Bourne and how they tried to connect it all, when this could stood on it's own and maybe made more sense if it did. Hard to follow the other Bourne movies.

Haven't seen it yet but the action sequences in the trailer looks ok.
