gaspr Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just finished watching this one...Great movie from a great series of both books and movies. Hope the makers of this one find some more material... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Like the movies greatly and will watch this latest(3?) Hope there are more books, material cause they are as exciting to me as OO7's older movies. Running out of books has not kept Ian Fleming's agent out of the movies.

theryugobuddy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 All three of these Bournes are great action movies with gritty far flung settings and very original action sequences. Damon is not a Schwarzeneggar type hero -- small, smart and more real -- The dude is lethal -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Obviously, the editing, sound, and "eye candy" make this movie.. We all live vicariously through the characters, it's fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Judging from the comments, I assume the first two releases are similar in structure. And if that is the case, I need to check them out. Ultimatum is cut close and fast, and the movie is smart without being overly 'cute'. It was quite a ride. I quite enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I thought it was a great movie, but I can't watch it again. Call me a wimp, but there was so much jittery camera that I nearly got seasick and almost had to leave the theater. I'm totally serious. [] I'm afraid I am very sensitive to camera movement, depending on how it's done and how much. I even have to be careful when editing my own video work. I would have liked to have added such a great movie to my collection. I hope they can find a tripod or two to shoot the next one from if there is one. The first two weren't nearly as unsteady as #3. I thought that two of the fight scenes were cut a bit too close and that obscured enough of the detail to cheapen the two scenes. And by "detail", it's not that I want to see blood and guts (I prefer not to) but a blurred fist in the air here and a blurred, flying foot there that the viewer never gets to see them actually landing a blow made the fight scenes feel too simulated, cheap and implied for me. That may have worked for Hitchcock, but it apparently doesn't work for Paul Greengrass. The rest of the movie was very well done and full of edge-of-your-seat excitement. Matt Damon is one heck of an actor! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 never watch these movies out of sequence. I got Identity on HD DVD, then watched Ultimatum, then Supermecy. Talk about mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkin Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I liked all three. I read the books first and really liked them. A good fast action fantasy that isn't tooooo far from possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Glenn - with a HT like yours whacha doin at a theatre? Arky: LOL! Thanks so much for such a high compliment, but no; it's still fun to go to the "Big House" for movies with friends before the DVDs are released. But I must admit that I am guilty of sitting there in the commercial theater and silently picking apart the sound, the focus, the crowd noise and of course, b*tching about the errant cell phone and gum on the floor. ....hmmmmm; where IS the fun part in all of that? Oh yeah; the friends!!!! [] We visit theaters only about once a year these days. I am sorry to say that we're not missing much, unless it's an IMAX. Thanks again, Arky. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 You're welcome. Even with my modest setup I just can't stand to go to the theatre anymore. Besides I can't drink unless I sneak it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
