Movie: The Bourne Ultimatum

[Assassin]

I remember....I remember everything. (http://www.thebourneultimatum.com/)

It comes out this friday, and i can't wait to see it. I absolutely loved the first 2 movies, and from the looks of it, the third will not disappoint.

Best scene from the trailer:

*cell rings*

Vosen: I was wondering when you were going to call. Perhaps we can arrange a meet.
Bourne: Where are you now?
Vosen: Im sitting in my office.
Bourne: I doubt that.
Vosen: Why would you doubt that?
Bourne: If you were in your office rite now, we'd be having this conversation face to face.

[Zati]

Yup, I'm real excited about this too. I don't go to the movies much, but I will most definately go for this one. I absolutely loved the first two, just like you. And Matt Damon is awesome as Bourne, and has done a great job with the role. Can't wait for more Bourne!

[rockmanj]

I liked the movies so much, i recently just got all the books...and yea Damon is pretty good, even though, before in the words of paul rudd :" i always thought of Damon as something of a Streissand", but yea, as bourne (nee' David Webb), he's pretty badass.

[SK]

Crazy. Go see it now.
(delete thread)

Fucking crazy, I loved every second of it.

ibtl

I liked the first better than the second, but am anticipating good stuff in the third to close it out. Though the 2nd in the original Star Wars was the best, but I hope that's not the case here.

[00:39] <Assassin> The Bourne Ultimatum is fucking awesome
[00:39] <Assassin> at one point he nearly kills a guy with a book...a god damn book
[00:40] <Assassin> A BOOK!

Edit:

Btw, did anyone else think the way they 'merged' the end of the second movie into this one was really fucking kool. I was wonder about the discontinuity that seemed to occur in this movie due to how the second one ends. But i think the really pulled it off well. I wonder if thats how they intended to do it from the very begining.

[itadakimasu]

i really enjoyed it the fight scenes were great. at times the story seemed to be a little stretched out to me but the movie was really good.

i will note, that a couple movie previews before the movie got applause, but the dark knight got none. wtf, i know clapping in movies is gay to begin with... unless you're watching lord of the rings, harry potter, star trek... sorry im rambling now.

go see this movie right now



next in the theater queue : rush hour 3? simpsons? idk

[Yukimura]

Yep this movie was pretty awesome. Even from the third row back from the screen. Bourne just bleeds badass, beating the crap out of everyone and only once looking like it was taxing on him.

[Ryllharu]

Even though the car chase seemed shorter in this one, I think it really topped the other two, just with the intensity of the end of it. The tunnel chase in the second film was good, but this one just seemed that much more to me. He beat the shit out of that police cruiser driving it.

I don't remember the scene with Vosen/Bourne conversation from the trailer, but you knew it was coming. Very satisfying seeing that asshole get a bit of a shock right there.

The scene that really impressed me was the one where Bourne was avoiding and helping the reporter avoid all the CCTVs and tailing agents in the surveillance state that is Great Britain. It was the first time that I got the sense that Bourne was really, really good at what he does.

They never really went back to it after she said "You really don't remember, do you?" in the cafe, but Nicky and Bourne had a little something going on in the past apparently. Is that why she's always been so frightened or strange around him?

[Yukimura]

Yeah I picked up that vibe from Nikki too and I thought they were going to take it to the cliché conclusion and have them hit it before she left. They probably did shoot something like that but cut it when they realized the lovey-dovey angle wasn't going to fit in well with the rest of the action.

Also the end of that car chase in NY was just plain awesome...that car got fucked up 6 ways to Sunday and he walked away at at least 85% okay.

[Assassin]

Just saw the movie again tonite, and its still fucking awesome. I loved how he calls the Spanish police just before he leaves daniels' office and the cia agents get busted....that was brilliant.

I really wanted to see some of the stuff from the trailer, like the scene with him on the phone going "i remember...i remember everything". And the scene with pamela landy when she's describing bourne, "This is jason bourne, the toughest target you've ever tracked. He's really good at staying alive, and trying to kill him and failing, just pisses him off".

btw, anyone know where i could get the sound track? i loved the music at the end when they say that bourne's body was never found, and you see nikki smiling. As well as the song that plays during the credits.

Edit:

Nvm, found it. Here's the link (http://www.torrentz.com/21b6dd1dc25ad362e4507a04cc7cbc9a52a168e1) in case anyone wants it.

I have yet to see the movie, but that Jimmy Kimmel skit was BLOODY HILARIOUS! Awesome find!

When that part came on there was standing applause...kinda weird cause of the area i saw the movie in. I thought the applause was lame, it was one of the best things they showed in the preview... aside from the near death blow via a book...

[rockmanj]

Yea, pretty good...seemed a bit short, but overall really intense and well thought out. The fight with that Desh guy was just plain brutal; I mean, it was graceful and all, but i think they did a really good job with showing how good those guys are at hand-to-hand.

[Animeniax]

I really liked the movie, lots of intensity and frenetic action. At one point I was actually tired of the constant pursuit and wanted some calm time so I could catch my breath.

I felt Bourne should have died to make up for his volunteering to become a killer. 2nd best movie, Bourne Identity still had a freshness and coolness that beats the action of the third movie.

[YaGaMi]

Just watched it yesterday, thought it was great and probably my favourite of the 3 movies, the only thing it was lacking for me was a great car chase scene.

[Carnage]

I just saw this movie tonight and I must say it was not only my favorite out of the three but my favorite of the year.

I really liked how he started in the first movie lost in the water, and how the last movie ended with him having found himself in the water again. Plus, the refraining from killing because Jason Bourne is dead, and how he quoted that first operative from the movie into this one when the guy had the chance to shoot him at the end. "Look at what they make us give". Beautiful.

[TruthofMistake]

Is it really that good? I don't even see why they bothered making it as it has nothing in common with the books. They could have at least given it a new title or something instead of pretending it was following along with them. The whole them killing off his wife in the second movie, and never even introducing the character that the third book revolves around has made me not want to see it. Yes, they do the action-packed thriller well, but it no longer resembles the books in any way, shape, or form.

[DB_Hunter]

Don't miss this film. Matt Damon is don in this film.

Never before have a I seen in a cinema people, including myself, let out their breath all together after an intense action scene. That's exactly what happened after the London Waterloo station fight scene. One guy started clapping in the cinema, and others started giggling at him but man, the film was awesome from start to finish.

Who cares? Licensing the name of a character doesn't imply they would follow the (extremely shitty) books. Imagine Casino Royale if it was 2 hours of Bond playing Baccarat while Vesper Lynd did all the interesting stuff off camera.

[Board of Command]

Best scene was when Bourne was directing the reporter guy in public with the cellphone. Very well executed.

[lilphatboi88]

So u think there will be a number 3?

[rockmanj]

Ummm..that is number 3. You mean number 4?

[Carnage]

I don't think they would make a 4, god forbid they do. The story has met a great conclusion, they should leave it at that.

[Raven]

Saw it, loved it. It felt very gritty and real; the fight scenes were somehow more realistic than other Hollywood blockbusters because the combatants seemed to be... struggling more, rather than just executing perfectly choreographed martial arts. Or something.

I liked the hand-cam style, it somehow makes it feel like you're there running behind him looking over his shoulder, even though after a while it may introduce some kind of motion sickness. There's just never a time the camera is steady.

I loved the way it was all closed off at the end, the trilogy is complete. Please, no number 4 cash cow.

[rockmanj]

I totally forgot about the "look at what they make you give" line from "Identity", courtesy of the Professor...those were pretty good last words. (as Carnage previously said :\ )
