  48/100

  Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon are back with a new Bourne movie, and this time, they brought Topical issues!

  Although the action is looser and more defined, resulting in a less visceral feel (a core component of Greengrass's other two outings), and the story is fabricated out of thin 'Greatest Bourne Hits' slices, Jason Bourne is mostly fine, supporting solid performances which sell some of the drama when it isn't relegated to a computer monitor. The first act riot sequence in Greece is an all-timer Bourne set-piece, toppling character after character into a pan of sizzling tension obscured by smoke, flares, and police presence. A brutal confrontational fight scene involving a cooking pot was fun, as was the scene…

  Review by Steve G 🇵🇸 🇾🇪 ★★★★½ 29

  As much as I fully expect that Jason Bourne will garner a very mixed critical and audience reaction, the response of one chap who was in the screening I went to was most unexpected.

  About 45 minutes in, a very loud snore suddenly made its presence known. Jason Bourne is a very loud movie as well, so this guy was really rolling 'em home. He stayed asleep for about 45 minutes as well. The perils of going to a 10:15 morning viewing, I suspect. Quite how someone could sleep through this at the cinema, I really have no idea.

  Like I say, this one will split opinions right down the middle, I would imagine. Paul Greengrass is back and has…

  That was an awful lot of nothing to sit through for one awesome car chase.

  Review by matt lynch ★★ 3

  Not really demonstrably more stupid than the others but so much more boring, with what little action there is suffering dearly for the lack of stunt coordinator/2nd unit guy Dan Bradley, often even missing simple screen direction. And the stabs at timeliness couldn't be more perfunctory. More shit about #Chems would be more interesting than this Google/Facebook/Big Brother junk. Couple good money shots though.

  Review by CinemaCl🎃wn ★★★ 3

  Some treasures are better left untouched. Together, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy & The Bourne Ultimatum make up for one of the greatest trilogies in motion picture history, having played an influential role in revitalising the action spy thriller genre while catapulting Matt Damon to Hollywood stardom & solidifying director Paul Greengrass' position as one of the first-rate filmmakers working in the industry today.

  There never was a need for another one because all the loose ends were tied up, all the questions were answered, and the whole journey went full circle in those three films. And that's why, there is only one term to describe the latest chapter in the Jason Bourne saga: Unnecessary. And by that, I don't mean…

  Review by 20oldboy03 ★★ 11

  Traf mich die „Bourne-Trilogie“ damals mit voller Wucht und bis heute hin haben sich mir die Bilder tief ins Gehirn gebrannt, traf mich dieser vierte/fünfte?) Teil auf eine ganz und gar andere weiße mit voller Wucht, nämlich mit der Wucht der Abscheu.

  Mit Teil drei und dem Abschluss der Reise Jasons Bournes wurde alles erzählt, die Reise fand ihr zufriedenstellendes Ziel, Jason Bournes konnte seine Füße hochlegen, die Sonne auf seiner Veranda genießen und genüsslich an seinem Bier nippen.

  Jedoch schrie die Profitgeilheit unserer Gesellschaft wir brauchen dringendst einen vierten/fünften?) Film der dieses Mal neu Besetzt wurde mit Jeremy Renner und an und für sich nicht verkehrt war, gab es den Machern dahinter die Möglichkeit, eine neue Geschichte zu erzählen…

  Review by King is Ironicmajesty ★★★ 1

  The uber shaky camera effect is back!

  The return of "Parkinson's cinematography" signals the return of Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to the franchise. Jason Bourne's plot seemed like a rehash from the bits and pieces of Supremacy and Ultimatum, but the feverish storytelling and taut pacing made up for the lapses. Damon also lost a bit of soul and ingenuity on his portrayal, but he can still resurface the humanity of Bourne when sequences require it. The thrilling scenes from Greece and that outstanding car chase sequence in Vegas is absolute perfection. Us fans of the franchise got what we paid for (well, my subscription on Netflix lol).

  However, killing off an important character felt juvenile and unnecessary;…
