Oh my god, your impression of Bourne 2 was hilarious!

I caught this movie this afternoon and really thought it kicked ass. I think that if this movie does well enough we might see another one no matter what they’re saying now.

Darren j Seeley says:

I just got done seeing it. It was ten times better than I thought it would be. The best action sequence I’ve seen in years- with Morocco cops chasing Bourne, who is chasing an assassin who is after Nicky (the still stale Julia Stiles, who transforms into a semi- hotness when she dies her hair) and then the smackdown…

Also for the first time, I warmed up to Damon as Bourne. In past films, I was never convinced and thought he was miscast. Now I buy him. Funny, huh?

9 out 10

First off, liked the review and agree (and on a side note, at the risk of sounding cliche, the Bourne Supremacy gag was a hoot). I do, however, remain confused as to some of what u say in this video. First, u call this the first good three-quel of the summer. Odd, since I thought u enjoyed Ocean’s 13. Also, I should probably remind u that this is NOT the last three-quel this summer as u also mentioned. That would mean forgetting Rush Hour 3. I don’t mean to nitpick but feel that this needed to be cleared up.

Pirates & Ocean’s should have stopped on the first movie.
& yes, i know Davey Jones looked cool,butt even he could not save Pirates 2.
Campea – as hilarious as i found your camera shakage at the start of your review, Bourne Supremacy’s action wasn’t that bad. think of it as Greengrass’ bad homage to Liman’s action in the first movie. at least he found his own action chops in Ultimatum.

Goon says:

the camera is just as shaky in Bourne Ultimatum as is in Supremacy. the important thing is Greengrass uses this technique in every scene, its not just an excuse to hide that you cant fight or properly show action.

How in the holy hell you can have a problem though, with Bourne Supremacy, but ignore the absolutely awful use of shaky cam by Michael Bay in Transformers during the most important parts, is just insane. Bay uses shaky cam because he cant direct, Greengrass uses it in United 93 and the Bourne films because thats his style to create tension in both action and very simple character confrontations.

Eaglewing says:

Well, this review gives me a little bit of hope. After really liking the first one, and totally hating the second, I had no hope for this. I’m still dreading shaky cam on steroids (John’s impression nailed it), but I might have to give it a chance.

#007# says:

Yes, I saw it last night, boy was I thrilled. Just get over the shaky cam stuff and watch this movie. That technique is implemented to create paranoia and tension. It does work.

I have to say this TRILOGY is a success and it rocks! 94% on tomatoes can’t be all misleading. This stuff is for real.

DarkKinger says:

Ah, the shaking camera. The Dark Knight better fix that.

JOE says:

This movie was awesome but John since Im seeing you give these reviews do not waste your time watching Hot Rod I walked out in 20 minutes. It was just not funny.

John Campea says:

Hey Butter On My Popcorn,

No, honestly I’m not implying anything. They announced some time ago that there wasn’t going to be a part 4.

#007# says:

Hey Kristina, you watch, there is no part 4, since Matt has said NO. I feel it should end here as well. If there is, then it would be someone else.

Well on the other spectrum, there are those cash hungry cows like at Sony where they will find ways to churn more turd from Spidey Shit 3.

Kevin C says:

I saw this last night and thought it was the best of the trilogy. The shaky cam was at its worst in the beginning, but either A. it calms down or B. you get used to it. Either way, by the second half I didnt even notice it.

The ending was the best ending for the franchise bar none. The smile, the music, awesome. Anyway, I personally love this franchise and Matt Damon is great in all of them.

9/10 for me.

GODFATHER says:

I truly enjoyed Ultimatum, but I disagree with the remarks about the shaky cam being a lot better than in Supremacy. I think it’s just as bad. The movie seems to fit the story, and it ties things up well, but the Identity is still better, IMO. Ultimatum seemed to stretch a little, but then, what action movie doesn’t these days?

I’d rate it a 7.5/10.

mixmastajb says:

Say John, how come you only sometimes do the “No, Go, or rouths” now when you give your reviews.

jordan barrie says:

This movie sold me john it was the best movie of the summer the best of the 3. I was like you i liked identity I though it was very entertaing spy thriller and what i first watch it i though wow i didn’t know matt damon coud do that kind of stuff. than when supremacy came i though i was ok but there was something i just didn’t like about it than Collateral come out week lather and i though i wish supremacy was like this. now that Ultimatum is out it was sold that sean in Morocco was the best action seen i have seen in years. I just hope matt samed has a future after that because the boune movies and last years the depared has proven he is an actor.

keith says:

i hope ther isnt a fouth bourne film. john. i though u said in ur review that the director has actully taken the camera a step back and let us seen the action etc. what film did u see . cause it wasnt bourne ultimatum. that fight in the house with bourne and the guy after nicky was crap. the dircetor mght aswell have just strapped the frigin camera to actors legs and just let then get on with . cause what i seen was just a set of legs and arms movig about a bit. christ i though to myself when i was watchin it. jesus lets c the fuckin thing. basically the bourne ultimatum want no wee near the film i was hoping it would b. theere wa some good bits in in defenitly. the train station bit with the phones . and other bits here and there . but basically film had no danger. no tension.this was another TRANSFORMERS for me . bit of a waste of time.
