The Bourne Legacy Reviews

With all of the detail being presented of this new area taking place beside the previous timeline, The Bourne Legacy is a little overwhelming to follow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2024

When it’s all over, and we reflect on what was accomplished in The Bourne Legacy within the larger Bourne mythos, it’s clear this entry is a superfluous, if very entertaining ride.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 3, 2022

While Gilroy does occasionally struggle matching up with earlier films, the movie definitely has its moments that nicely falls in line with the series.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

As Moby's franchise song "Extreme Ways" played over the film's ambiguous ending, I didn't feel the same sense of excitement and satisfaction I did when those echoing sounds played in the previous Bourne films.

| Feb 11, 2022

It's not bad, just familiar and not as blood-pumping as the Paul Greengrass directed Bournes of yore.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2021

The final chaotic sequence, while both impressively staged and wildly unrealistic, arrives too late to correct the lackluster pacing from before.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 1, 2020

It would be absurd if it didn't sound all too familiar.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 4, 2020

Walked away from "The Bourne Legacy" wondering if this is a strong enough film to support an ongoing franchise. I'm not sure it can.

| Original Score: C | Jul 11, 2020

'The Bourne Legacy' is proof that if they don't bring Matt Damon back, this franchise is going nowhere. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 25, 2020

Overall, The Bourne Legacy is mostly disappointing, poorly edited and it seems have buckled underneath with the expectations from the original films, which weighed heavily on its shoulders.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 9, 2019

All we get is two hours of talk, interrupted by the occasional violence and a painfully truncated ending that leaves the door open for The Bourne Whatever They Name The Fifth Part.

| Original Score: 2.8/5 | Nov 11, 2019

It just isn't gripping and the story mechanics don't hold up to close scrutiny.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 1, 2019

While it may not be satisfactory, both protagonists seem to be in a good place - at least for now.

| Jan 26, 2019

The film may get a little cloak-and-dagger extreme at points, but you know what, who cares?

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 9, 2018

Gilroy's Bourne has no sense of space or connection, and takes for granted that we remember far too many details from the previous films.

| Oct 12, 2018

Gilroy has succeeded in creating a proficient Bond/Bourne mash-up, that whilst losing some of the grit of the previous three creates a lighter, still intelligent and altogether enjoyable action film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018

Bourne Legacy is an object lesson in how to screw up a reboot.

| May 23, 2018

Be prepared to embrace the year's most bizarre hero.

| Oct 23, 2017

Jeremy Renner's stock-in-trade is a regular-looking joe who radiates a powerful undercurrent of danger. Given the new storyline, Renner is a perfect replacement for Matt Damon.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 30, 2016

Jeremy Renner... fills in Damon's shoes with relish, and better yet, with integrity.
