The Bourne Ultimatum
Mr. Cranky's rating:
Maybe our society is so prone to attention deficit disorder that this sort of chopped up crap is what's required to be mistaken for entertainment.
I watched this entire movie yet didn't see half of it. Yes, that sounds like something that would come out of the mouth of a wannabe idiot Buddha, but such is the sort of twisted description that comes watching dickheads like Paul Greengrass direct.
That's right, Paul Greengrass, you're a dickhead. Why do I have to be tripping my ass off on LSD in order for the speed of your editing to slow down enough so I can actually see what's going on? Why is every Bourne fight like a blur? Let me just say that your abilities add nothing to this movie.
My assumption from watching this film is that Matt Damon is not capable of any of the things Jason Bourne is capable of. The fast cutting prevents the audience from seeing that Damon is really just a lazy ass who's not even trying. Let's face it, the faster a director cuts, the more it opens the door for other lazy ass actors to portray action heroes. What's next, David Spade as James Bond?
In this episode of the Bourne series, Bourne (Damon) eludes his CIA trainers and returns to New York to figure out how he got started. This movie involves a lot of tracking by various means that don't make any sense: Just about everyone who's not Jason Bourne makes the mistake of using his regular cell phones and his regular ID and his regular credit card and is eventually shot even though he knows better.
Bourne runs into Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) again and in helping Bourne, she logs into a CIA site using her own password and login and immediately puts herself on the CIA turncoat death list. Not very smart, but perhaps it helps explain why Julia Stiles looks like Matt Damon's lost puppy.
But hey, maybe all this mess is part of the Bourne charm. Maybe our society is so prone to attention deficit disorder that this sort of chopped up crap is what's required to be mistaken for entertainment.
If that's the case, I give up.
Was it really that bad?
