THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM Film Review - 7/9/07

Made a real effort to see this - Christ knows why? As I left the cinema the girl in the foyer said "Was the film any good?" I could not tell a lie - So told her it was "absolute pants". The first film was dire - Total rubbish in fact. The second was not marginally any better and the third - Well?? I cannot see how this trilogy can give Bond a run for it's money? Apart from the realism of the fight scenes/car chases (Which are few & far between) it is just dull. Matt Damon's character continues to piece the parts of his missing past life together (and unless you have watched the other two films recently - you will be struggling to put pieces in their places?) as he confronts the CIA conspiracy deepening against him. We can only hope that Jason Bourne has been laid to rest for good this time!
