I really enjoyed the first one which was suprising, although I thought number two was convoluted boring shite. The pacing was bad, the action was bad, you didnt care about the characters.
The fight infront of the window blinds, I mean wtf it was just so badly done and edited, very very disapointing. Everything that was good about the first thing was bad in the second one. Lost all of its magic and charm.

I reckon it was one of the most disapointing sequals in years, of course so was xmen 3 [although with Brett Ratner at the helm it had no chance anyway] and Superman Returns.
The entire point of the first one was that the character knew as little about himself as you did, so when he was kicking peoples ass it was a huge suprise to him, like how the hell did I just disarm two cops without even trying. I liked the characters and the story and the pacing, and the fact it was a different kind of bond film, it had a magical charm about it.
The second one was arrogant and so badly edited its a joke, its like they thought sod it we have no real plot or character developement so lets just make a cut every two seconds to try and make people forget this is just a souless cashin.
A real pity as the original was a really fun popcorn flick that didnt take itself too seriously.

Each to their own mate, I just thought it lost all originality of the original and had no likeable characters and even the action seemed convoluted, I am just so bored of constant edits to try and make a film seem exciting.

I really loved both the first and the second, sure, the plot is a little confusing, and the filming is a little wierd, but that's part of the fun- the director wanted the camera to be bouncing around when Bourne is kicking ass he wanted the audience to be 'involved' (in his words) wether it works or not is the question.

Bourne is ace. 1st was class, 2nd was a little less exciting, but I reckon still head and shoulders over a lot of the stuff that's come out of Hollywood in recent years. Can't wait to see this third one, should be top by the looks of it.

haven't been to see it yet - but I did finally get round to seeing Die Hard 4.0 last week (must have been the only cinema in the world still showing it). Was tremendous. Vintage Die Hard, it was!

I have read a fairly positive review of the latest Bourne flick, although its meant to be the worst of the books.
I aint been posting much recently because I have been feeling so ill and one of the hard drives on my raid has been playing up.

And vintage Die Hard with no swearing and no blood ?
And a annoying sidekick ?
Still I will eventually watch it and I really hope I will enjoy it as much as everyone else but I doubt it, maybe if it wasnt a die hard film..

I heard a fair bit of swearing - lots of sh**s anyway. Are there two versions or something, because someone else said this to me too. One I saw was a 15. Maybe I just didn't notice the lack of swearing, which surprises me. Really enjoyed it anyway.

Sidekick's not too bad. He is a bit annoying but no more than the guy in Die Hard 3.

Definitely worth a watch.

just watched this, (well last weekend) and frankly it wasnt that good.

it has some awesome scenes but it fails to keep you interested inbetween.
