Saw this, really disappointing. Same schtick from the other movies like driving a motorcycle up and down the plaza stairs in Rome, dozens of cars flying through the air but nobody seems to get hurt, police vehicles driven by incompetent cops who crash into each other, etc. Driving into and destroying a casino has been seen in non-Bourne movies as well. Bunch of old characters killed off, but who cares. Hope they get another director, Paul Greengrass has run the series into the ground with this one. Grade C.

Not only that, but Damon has only 25 lines of dialog in the whole movie, and he made a million per line: Matt Damon May Have Made $1 Million Per Line in Jason Bourne | Vanity Fair

What bother me the most is the CIA being able to hack into ANY camera in the world. This reminds me of the tv series CSI. They can enhance a blurry pixelated picture into HD quaility. Lol

My readings indicate that much of the movie is quite lame.

The first movie was fairly entertaining, in a mindless sort of way.

The next two, what I saw of them (I think one of my teenage sons watched them, but I didn't see everything) was just more of the same. No worse than the first, really, but since they didn't really offer anything new... well, what was the point?

I never saw the fourth.

At this point, the studio is just using the word 'Bourne' and Matt Damon to sell tickets. And you know what? They'll turn a nice profit doing so. Because people just can't resist. They're like addicts. They know they shouldn't. They know it won't be worth it. But they can't help themselves.

I saw it Saturday in a fancy AMC dolby theater with recliner seats and was tempted to take a nap, except it was so loud and the seats reverberated with each crash of cars, etc.

I, too, thought it was unworthy of Damen who should have spent his time in a REAL movie, not this dumb same old, same old, Bourne junk.

Needed a break after being rescued. Let the man chill a little.

I enjoyed it, but mainly because I loved the great cast...good job on that!
Spoiler
Car chase was way too long in LV.
Fun to see the Riveria used before it was demolished
in real life.

And who runs away from the CIA with blonde hair blowing in the wind....
in a crowd of brunettes?
Ever hear of a cap? Jason has.

Don't actors know about Preparation H on their under eye bags? Tommy Lee?

Alicia has another movie coming right up. Good.

Alicia was the only good thing about this movie. Otherwise this ruined Bourne for me, and I have been a huge fan.

Can't believe people are in the CIA's inner ops hub and they are texting from personal cell phones. Uh, no. I kept waiting for one of the worker bees in the room to yell out "Bourne is receiving a text from...right behind me?"

If an item can be flashed, it can be hacked. That may include thermostats, dishwashers, ovens, refrigerators, and washer/dryers.

It is for our safety. Of course.

I liked it. It's not the best of the series, but it was good enough. I felt they should have ended the series after Ultimatum. That was probably the best way to wrap up something like this. If they want to keep the series going, they need to shake up the story and get away from taking down another black ops program.
