Movie Review by B Movie Ben
August 3rd, 2007

Bourne kicks Spidey's Ass

This is the summer of the 3's - Pirates 3, Shrek 3, Spidey 3, Rush Hour 3, Ocean's 3 (well, 13, but it's still the 3rd) and the ultimate 3 - The Bourne Ultimatum. I don't even have to wait until Rush hour 3 hits the theaters to know that none of these characters will be equal to to Jason Bourne.

Pamela Landy (Joan Allen): This is Jason Bourne, the toughest target that you have ever tracked.

Pamela Landy: He is really good at staying alive, and trying to kill him and failing... just pisses him off.

Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Supremacy) has established himself as the King of the Action Films with this delight. The action never stops and carries you to places you have never been.

Bourne belongs to my generation. Literate men in their 30's and 40's in 1990, when The Bourne Ultimatum came out, would not be caught dead without a copy. I devoured all 611 pages on a weekend just as young people do today with Harry Potter. We were raised in the Cold War, and some of us were actually Cold Warriors. Authors like Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy spoke to us like no one else could.

Matt Damon returns to portray our hero. Like in the two previous films, he IS Jason Bourne. He does it like no one else could. he keeps us fixed on the edge of our seats. Just when you think he is toast - he turns it around and keeps going! The man is amazing!

David Strathairn and Joan Allen were great too, and I always like seeing Scott Glenn, and I loved that they brought back Frankie Potente if only for brief reminisces, but this was Mat Damon/Jason Bourne's film and he rocked my world.

This IS the MUST SEE film of the Summer.

This is seriously a great movie. Not only in the action, but the character and stories. A great end to this trilogy.

I just hope it doesn't end.
