Thought it was good, for the most part. Not as good as the second bourne, but I’m a little agitated over the star wars part at the end, it was like episode 3, your no longer david web, you shall be known as jason bourne, with the dark master of all the secrets and lies.

But it has Maaattt Daaammon and a hot arab guy too. Loved the movie, all edgy and dark.

Yeah,I loved the way they kind of remixed the end of number 2…I thought it was very clever.

Enjoyed the movie… I loved the way that movie 3 completely re-writes the “happy ending” of movie 2 (If you don’t know what I mean, go watch the last 10 mins of movie 2… remind you of what you just saw?)

I also liked the way that the movies come full circle (see the fist 5 mins of the first movie).
Will there be a 4… I notice that they ended it in such a way that the next one might not need Bourne. Remember that the books don’t need Ludlum any more.

*** possibly spoilers below ***

Ah, “Please let this be the last in the franchise” – I’ve mixed feelings over that, I want more but don’t want the series wrecked in future films. I’d rate Ultimatum as the second best Bourne film, with the first one being the best so-far.

Whatever about the trailer mixing up scenes my main grievance was how the ending of the last film (at least on the DVD I have) occurs close to the end of the this film.

As for the ending, even tho something like blowing up the building might have been more exciting, it worked well with the idea of Bourne winning (as such) but not having to kill everybody to do so. Rather ending with Bourne standing tall with gun-in-hand, he just survives – flicks to Extreme Ways music and a sense of anticipation is installed (maybe for the next film, maybe not

Dialogue really was kept to a minimum. So I think it’s difficult to build a great movie just around great action scenes. I remember not being able to change trains in Waterloo due to them filming, but that scene was worth it the inconvenience.

I agree with all of that… the bits with the journalist in Waterloo, etc., were great, and the whole part with the Moroccan agent.
