oy, so i watched this movie yesterday.
now i can say with all certainty that IT SUCKED.
great production, sure-- but the story? typical hollywood crapola: heros, villains, all stereotyped, and you know how everything is going to end, who is going to win, blah blah blah.
it started with some pretty exciting action no doubt, but about halfway through this thing i was BORED with the action, action, action-- ok, we get it, he can kill with a book, but how many times do you have to see this, really, before it becomes all repetitive and inconsequential? none of the action develops the character really-- he's the same frikkin superman from beginning to end.
yes i know, action movies are supposed to entertain, but really, i only got entertained for the first half-- the second half i wondered is this shit ending already?
now, a couple of procedural questions:
1) how come the whole world is after jason bourne and yet he parades himself through airports & train terminals without even the hint of a disguise? does nobody recognize him?
2) how come the runaway chick only needs a hair dye job in order to get away from the baddest motherfuckers on earth? super-dye!
3) how come when they know he's going to tangiers from spain nobody bothers to check the ferries? duh??
etc. i would ask for my money back but i borrowed this from somebody else's netflix.
cartoon heroes. cartoon villains. yawn.
