Best of the Trilogy in Every Way


The mystery of Bourne's past, identity, and abilities in addition to his unconscious actions make for a very interesting screenplay. The story also has a nicely resolved ending. Furthermore, we aren't subjected to Greengrass' shaky, close-up, quick-cut fight scenes in Identity. In Supremacy and Ultimatum, a pattern of chase scene, exposition, chase scene also became very apparent and even stale in my opinion. They seem to recycle the original by having some dick-in-charge from the CIA lead a chase (and complete failure) to capture or kill Jason Bourne. This just got a bit tiring, although Jason Bourne is a pretty compelling character, and Matt Damon breathed even more life into the role, which made Supremacy and Ultimatum at least fairly enjoyable.

I concur.

I was hooked when Bourne blew away those Swiss cops at the park bench. (I think they were Swiss).

Yes they were Swiss. Talking in Swiss German (not really, just the sound of it), patrolling in Zürich.

Yeah it's definitely my favorite out of all of them. It goes in order for me. This one then Supremacy and then Ultimatum and then Legacy and then the newest one
