The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

...2007 ****************************************************************** INTRODUCTION: THE BEST OF THE SUMMER THREEQUELS ****************************************************************** I’m sure most of you have heard the old saying that “sequels are never equals,” and in general, that is true. It’s truly rare that a sequel can live up to its predecessor, let alone surpass it; however, it’s even more rare that a threequel can be better than ...
...to the theaters this week for a sneak preview of THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, I was concerned, because many of the sequels and especially threequels this year have been supremely disappointing. Let’s do a quick rundown, shall we? SPIDER MAN 3 --- While I did enjoy it for what it was, I thought the plot was too convoluted, and it drained some of the fun. In short: watchable, but hardly memorable. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END --- A mammoth film ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

...Comes Home ~ The Bourne ultimatum is the third movie in the set and I think is the one I enjoyed the most. I first saw the film when it came out in 2007 and went straight to the cinema to watch it. Being a fan of the films I was excited when this one was released. The opening weekend at the local cinema for this was packed. I am also glad that next year they are releasing a fourth Bourne film even though it is annoying that I have the first 3 in ...

The third film has the same director as the second Paul Greengrass and obviously had high expectations due to the success of the second film. ~ INFO ~ Director- Paul Greengrass Writers- Screenplay- Tony Gilroy and Scott Z Burns Novel- Robert Ludlum Music- John Powell Release Date- 17 August 2007- (UK) Runtime- 115 Mins Distributed- Universal Pictures Rating- 12A ~ PLOT ~ We continue with the action of Jason Bourne after he escaped ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM The summer of blockbusters brought us the battle of the threequels. Mostly big budget Hollywood productions in the form of Captain Jack Sparrow impression of a Rolling Stone in Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End, Peter Parker's internal battle with self in Spider-Man 3, and the Ugly Ogre's third outing in Shrek the Third. The Bourne Ultimatum is the least lavish and spectacular of the named group. So how will it fare against ...
...who he really is. On the run during his travels from Russia to Torino, Bourne stumbles upon a clue that could possibly help him to find the answers he so desperately desires in the shape of The Guardian's Political Journalist Simon Ross who just so happens to be tracked by US government agencies. In a battle of wits Bourne tries to outsmart and outmanoeuvre these covert agencies namely the C.I.A. and the new breed of ultra super assassins hired to ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

...I am very undecided on the film and despite my efforts to like it I just can't although I can really understand why some may love the film. This review however is based on my overall opinion of the film, a film very action packed but hard to get 'in to'. My partner and I were avid cinema goers armed with our Orange Wednesdays tickets every week. We would enjoy watching the trailers and then plan out our next 4-6 films. My partner had obviously watched ...
...rather excited to see the trailer for the third and final Bourne film. I admit to thinking the trailer looked great and he soon reassured me that I would pick up the storyline quickly, and would not have to worry about not seeing the previous two films. He gave me a very brief but concise summary of the Bourne Identity (1) and Bourne Supremacy (2) in the car on the way to the film. At first I wasn't too keen on what I had heard but remembered back ...

...Having lost his identity and the woman he loved, he is determined to find the people that made him who he is and make them pay. British journalist Sam Ross has valuable information about Bourne and Treadstone. But someone is determined to make sure he never discovers the truth and they are willing to go to any lengths to stop him. Meanwhile Noah Vosen is planning a new organisation to replace Treadstone and sends agent Pam Landy to find Bourne, while ...
...at his disposal to outsmart the deadliest killers he's ever encountered. I hated the first Bourne film and really enjoyed the second. As far as I'm concerned, director Paul Greengrass has been the making of the franchise. His background in documentary drama ("Bloody Sunday" and "United 93") has stood him in good stead when it comes to making gritty, believable thrillers with real dramatic impetus. I'm glad to say "The Bourne Ultimatum" doesn't disappoint ...

After finding fake passports and a gun in a security box he begins to start retracing his steps trying to regain his memory. The third film starts before the end of the second film (that makes no sense, but when you watch it it will.) Jason Bourne is closer ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

- Introduction - The Bourne Ultimatum was heavily publicised last year. Its the third installment of the Bourne series, based on the books by Robert Ludlum. I had seen the previous two movies and I was quite impressed by the first but somehow I felt less impressed with the second one, so I decided to rent the latest movie. I had bought a DVD boxset of the first two but I havent watched them much and so I thought renting would be the way to go for ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

...previous years, we had Transformers, The Simpsons Movie, Fantastic Four 2, Harry Potter and the one I had personally been waiting on The Bourne Ultimatum. When I saw the Bourne Identity all the way back in 2002 everyone just thought it was a one off and wasn't sure where the cliff hanger ending would lead. I have to say out of all of the films the Bourne Identity was probably my least favourite. When I find myself back in the cinema watching The ...
...in shock at how clever the film was and couldn't wait to see the final one. Now, three years later of me waiting patiently I was rewarded with the third instalment. The film picks up where it left off in Moscow with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) almost getting caught. This film focuses on so many different film locations this time Bourne sweeps across the globe from filming in Waterloo Station, London to Madrid, Morocco and New York City. The film has ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

As the pieces have started to fall into place, more and more parts of his past seems to be coming back to Jason Bourne. His latest link is a British journalist Simon Ross who seems to know a lot about Bourne, the Treadstone project and its new guise as operation Blackbriar. Bourne sets up a meeting with Ross to find out what he knows and soon Bourne starts to remember more and more details of his past, sending him via Spain to New York to find out ...
...all to the man hunt that seems to be dogging him. The third part of the Bourne trilogy was released in 2007 and once again followed the same principles that made the first two films so good. The return of the same core team behind the film helped to keep the continuity and picking up the story directly from the end of the second film starts the action immediately. Of course by this point the story is so far away from the original books, but that ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

...had a particular struggle with the now more noticeable violent side of his identity. In this the final instalment of the Bourne trilogy it all starts to become a bit clearer for Jason. And for me this was perhaps the better of the three instalments. Through each episode of this remarkable trilogy I have found myself at times totally against Jason and at others extremely apathetic toward him. The film begins in a train station in Russia where Jason ...
...is relentless and the violence even more so. The ever changing see - saw of who is on who's side serves to keep the viewer interested and at times a little perplexed. The chase and action scenes are memorable as is the atmospheric music which helps keep the pace at racing speed. It is the acting however that makes it all so real and Matt Damon again is outstanding in his portrayal of Jason. He is more than ably assisted by Julia Stiles, Joan Allen, ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

The Bourne Ultimatum is now out on DVD and available to buy. It doesn't seem 5 minutes since it was released at the cinema. I will start here by saying that I don't own the DVD, and therefore this is a review of the film itself, rather than the DVD. It won't therefore include details of any special features you might get with the DVD. Speaking for myself, I'm not interested in the 'extras' that you usually get with a disc. So whether I owned the ...
...film only. The Bourne Ultimatum is the third part of the Jason Bourne trilogy. There may be other Jason Bourne books. Robert Ludlum wrote a vast number of thrillers, and Bourne may have appeared in some others. But the trilogy consists of The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and this one, The Bourne Ulitimatum. These films are based on the books by Robert Ludlum, which were written in the 1980s. I was a big fan of the books, and read these ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

_Bourne: Ultimatum_ sees the climactic finale of a turbulent yet engaging journey for Jason Bourne(Matt Damon) in his quest for self identity. Faced with the ever persistent adversity, he must make his way through heart gripping, breath drawing, and extremely challenging environments to avoid the ever watchful eye of his once parent organisation who intend to prevent his ultimate goal. The film follows on from its prequel, not shy in giving its audience ...
...to capture the mood. Those who have watched the prequels to _Bourne: Ultimatum_, will find similar themes resonating throughout the final movie that can be found in _Bourne: Identity_ and _Supremacy_. However, one will not be dissapointed by this due to the continual flow that the movie adopts in keeping the linear narrative from straying wayward. That is why this movie holds a very commanding position in its recognition as a top 50 movie Hollywood ...

...helps if you have seen the first 2 movies in this trilogy (Bourne Identity / Bourne Supramacy) as this one assumes that you already know that Bourne is a guy with amnesia and on the run. The film stars Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Scott Glenn, Albert Finney, David Strathairn, Julia Stiles, Paddy Considine. Written by Robert Ludlum and is directed by Paul Greengrass. Bourne Ultimatium picks up where Bourne Supremacy left off, with Bourne racing around ...
...Having lost his memory and the one person he loved Bourne goes 'back to the beginning' to find out who he was. The film kicks off with Bourne trying to track down a British journalist, whom he believes has information about his past. He quickly discovers the government conspiracy runs far deeper and takes on a fight with the CIA! I don't want to spoil the movie by saying too much! This film is a fantastic sequel and is action packed with brilliant ...
