Yes, they do the action-packed thriller well, but it no longer resembles the books in any way, shape, or form.
    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.

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

    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.

    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.
    I think I know precisely what I mean
    when I say it's a schpadoinkle day

    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 :\ )
