Jason Bourne Reviews
Fascinating and unfortunate that the same and similar pieces from the original trilogy just didn't work. There was something off from the jump here
If you’re watching 5th Bourne you know what’s coming, you’ve seen all 4, you wanted more and Jason delivered. Edge of the seat from the word „go”, a cherry on top of the cake to finish with, you won’t be disappointed.
Not quite as good as the trilogy films but it past the test. Bourne is a character you can never be bored with. Tim Treakle
A solid and entertaining Bourne movie. It has good production quality, impressive stunts and a coherent storyline. But it does lack in creativity and originality. Perhaps the Asset could have found better ways to prove his toughness other than knock off innocent people in bunches. It made him rather cliche. And Bourne seemed to be quite invisible when it suited the scene. He just pulled his cap down to thwart serveillance.
You know, it's got half decent cinematography, and the editing isn't bad but given the all star cast, having Paul Greengrass back, and finally being able to make the movie Legacy wanted to be you'd think this would have a shot. But man....it's just alright. Nothing broken at all but nothing stellar either. Cassel as the bad guy is good, the action scenes are pretty good except oddly enough for the car chase which felt so cliche. Besides that there isn't that much else to compliment. The acting in this feels like everyone is just going through the motions, comes across as stock or emotionless, or replacements for characters from previous entries. So there really isn't anything in the way of new characters. Sometimes this captures the look of a Bourne movie but other times it stops with the shaky cam/found footage feel and just becomes basic still closeups, forgettable locations, dull lighting, and just feels like it's from another completely different forgettable film. The music also is the same thing you've heard from the others but somehow isn't as memorable and not as well used and a just forgettable. This feels like it borrows bits and pieces from the original trilogy and combines them into this movie. So it really doesn't offer anything new in terms of ideas, characters, or even basic film structure. If you've seen the original trilogy than you've seen this. My biggest problem is it feels like for a movie titles Jason Bourne half the time he's not even in this and is more about the woman CIA agent and TLJ. And they are just alright. When Bourne shows up it feels like he's here to do his thing and that's it on to next scene. There's no character development or even consistent focus. The story makes perfect sense but it rings so hollow. The car chase when that happened my gut was "Really? were doing this again?" It felt like it as there because the other 2 had it so we have to. Skip It. Not much else to say sadly.
Well I finished my 13 hour BourneAThon. Started at 1 p.m. finished at 2:35 a.m. That was awesome. This movie is way better than a 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Vegas action scene was awesome. I didn't care for Tommy Lee Jones character I felt like he phone in his performance. I can't wait for the next movie. This is a 8/10 it's great and was my second time seeing it since I saw it in theaters. Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne.
Much better than the reviews make it seem. Highly entertaining and a great conclusion to the series. Easily one million times better than Bourne Legacy.
A half decent action thrill ride with some crazy stunts and and a car chase into a casino and a fight with the good guy and bad guy and some less amusing characters who don't bring much to this somewhat entertaining action movie. Matt Damon is still awesome as as Jason Bourne.
The action in this movie (like all of the other Bourne movies) holds up really well! I especially like the chase and fight toward the end in Vegas, plus the big reveal behind why David Webb was "recruited" into Treadstone in the first place. I liked how he got even with his main antagonist and many scenes in this film were actually made to feel really intense (such as the protest scene in Greece) which worked quite well. One could nitpick the movie and some of its scenes and details, but generally as a summer action flick this film really delivers!! While the Bourne Ultimatum was a good ending to the series, this was also a good way to conclude the saga!
Filme: Jason Bourne @jasonbourne #jasonbourne Assistido: 23-6-24 Elenco: @matt_damon_official @matt.damon @tommy_lee_jones_theme @tommyleejonesofficialpage @aliciavikanderdaily @missjuliastiles @vincentcassel @rizahmed Modelo: #ação #espionagem #agentesecreto Duração: 2h 03m Ano: 2016 Minha opinião: Esta série 4 filmes com Matt Damon e 1 filme com Jeremy Renner. 1º A identidade Bourne 2002, A Supremacia Bourne 2004, O Ultimato Bourne 2007 e Jason Bourne 2016 e com Jeremy O Legado Bourne 2012. Em todos eles, são perseguido pela própria agência. Pela própria CIA que querem apagar os rastro de suas sujeiras. Tivemos Brian Cox, Edward Norton, Tommy Lee Jones, Karl Urban, Chris Coper, Clive Owen, David Strathairn, Vincent Cassel, Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac. Como vemos vários vilões de peso. Tudo começa com a perda de sua mémoria e isso que faz interessante esta série de filmes. Onde ele luta para descibrir quem é. Um filme que roda o Planeta e em cada filme vai havendo parte do desfecho. No 3º filme pensamos que havia tudo revelado, mas tivemos o 4º com Damon depois de 9 anos, que agora envolve o pai de Bourne, quem mandou mata-lo de verdade, pois ele imaginava que foram os terroristas, porem neste filme descobre que foi a própria CIA. Que seu pai o idealizador da Tradestone, quando descobriu que Bourne entrou no programa, tenta desativa-la e por isso é morto a mando de Jones e o executor é Cassel. Um filme que começa com Bourne ao estilo Rambo vivendo de lutas clandestinas, sem rumo na vida. Até que Heather (Stiles) hackeia a CIA e começa tudo de novo a caçada. Ela encontra com Bourne mas é assassinada. Dewey que usa um bilionário de plataforma que vaza informação para Dewey. E agora com retorno de Bourne e ele podem expor isto, então é caçado. Mas com a ajuda de Heather consegue resolver, com um bom trabalho de perseguição em LAs Vegas e a luta final com Cassel são boas. Roteiro e enredo o filme tras o mesmo estilo de roteiro dos outros filmes, digamos sem uma novidade. Exsite a troca de agentes. Não é o melhor da série, mas não é ruim. Vale apena assistir? Sim. Nota: 7
A step down from the original trilogy
My personal favourite from the franchise, a good story to wrap up the franchise, stunts were great, story was just as good.
First of all, Paul Greengrass seriously needs to invest in a steady cam. The whole movie is unwatchably shaky... especially chases and fights. It's impossible to track with the action, so it has the opposite of the desired effect. As much as I like Matt Damon and the Bourne premise, this is not a good movie. They really needed to hire a technical consultant to help with dialogue... "Use SQL to corrupt the database!", "Enhance!"... there are constant eye rollers like that. And every opportunity for a character to do something human or say something clever is conspicuously passed over. Just enjoy the first 2 movies from this franchise for what they were. (And the Jeremy Renner one isn't bad.)
One of the best in the Jason Bourne series. Tommy Lee Jones is the evil head of the CIA who wants to kill Bourne. Like an earlier episode, Jason has a friend in high places. As always, Bourne prevails.
Terrible end to the franchise.
Unwatchable. Painfully bad acting and dialogue. Same old plot. Very different feel to the other films. Don't waste your time.
"Jason Bourne" is the kind of movie a studio needs to make before the executives realize it's time to let a franchise go. There's no crying on the screen here, but I bet the goodbye broke some hearts in the finance department. Amnesia has been one of the most effective, but simultaneously one of the tackiest plot devices ever since Dory couldn't seem to remember which fin was up. The earlier Bourne movies usually covered up the awkwardness of such heavy handed story machinery with their signature handheld bravado. The trick, and the joy, was to throw so much haphazard fisticuffs into the audience's face that hopefully there wouldn't be too much questioning of the various ridiculous assumptions about the limits of human physique, the nature of any secret service, or even the authenticity of the various locales. (As a former citizen of Switzerland, I had to laugh out loud about what passed for "Zurich" in the first installment. Trust me, not one element was accurate.) The parts of those movies that have aged the least gracefully are those moments in which the hero, usually not bothered by the most devastating punches, twists up his face in agony as a piece of the puzzle re-enters his mind. The memories, they hurt! Now, there's not all that much left for Jason Bourne to piece back together. A father-son tragedy, wedged into the backstory, is supposed to create the sort of revenge-inducing trauma that keeps this energizer bunny running and gunning. And on the side of the almighty agency that created the master killer in the first place, we have, once again, a corrupt higher-up with lots to cover up. This time the sinister exec is Tommie Lee Jones, whose face looks more and more like it would much rather take a nap than act out another scheme. The world-weariness of his eye region stands in strange contrast to his relentless string-pulling. I guess he really wants to make sure that retirement won't be overshadowed by any bad stuff coming out. Jason Bourne hasn't found wisdom or peace either. Certainly not around women. Ever since the first movie's love interest was sacrificed early in the second one, he either gets them killed or at the very least causes them a whole heap of trouble in the workplace. Female characters have usually been slightly less hard-assed operatives within the machinery he's trying to escape and/or de-mask. Their function has been to provide the conflicted outcast with enough temptation to consider turning himself in, until they too realize what a shitty company they're really working for, at which point they tend to end up helping Bourne out. Here, a fresh young woman with unclear intentions is stirred into the mix, played by the very earnest Alicia Vikander. It's not realistic that Jason will ever again experience actual romance, let alone a long term thing. That hasn't worked out for a revenge machine on the run. So the closest Damon's character comes to relating to girls is trying to find out if he can trust them enough to let them help him escape the current pickle. After that, it's game over for the relationship. And there you have it. That's all it takes in the way of tent posts, and frantic action has to do the rest of the work. And action is often hectic, sometimes sloppy and always edited into the visual equivalent of an epileptic seizure in these films. Fight scenes have the improvised messy glory of a drunken bum fight, except that the bums in this case have been either genetically enhanced, trained to be ferocious killers, or, ideally, both. Vincent Cassel was brilliant in many French movies, most notably "La Haine", and he does do hatred very well. You see, it's not enough to have another super-fighter chase our boy, there needs to be a terminator-like termination programmed into that opponent. So "The Asset" is not simply an agent told to take Bourne out, he is really gung-ho to do so because of some stuff in the past. Done! Now the chase is sufficiently emotional, and the fights get extra fist-clenchy. That Asset is a real asshat. Damon is no longer a kid. Still, for the purpose of roles like this, he has the ability to get into the sort of shape needed to pull off the fights and the running and the reckless driving. But with a more seasoned Jason Bourne, the question becomes more and more obvious: Can't this guy just take it down a notch? Of course, his alma mater still needs to be punished and cleansed of all the weasels who abuse its graduates. But man, you've shown that you know how to find exquisite locations for relaxation. I would have loved to see a fully retired Jason Bourne make the same realization the audience is left with after this film: It's really time to hang it up.
Beautiful film with an excellent performance by Demon and a gripping and sadly truthful screenplay. I don't understand why so many problems in returning to do other episodes. We want Jason Born from Demon back.
I thought it was good.
