Truly one of the worst movies ever made


A stupid, horribly acted Bourne wanna-be. Even a Paris car chase against traffic! Talk about stealing material.

Sorry, Liam Neeson, you are tooo old fogey. Jason Bourne you cannot be. You cannot do an American accent without the good ol' Irish creeping in.

Maggie Grace looks at least 30 and is playing a 17-year old, badly.

I cringed every time an actor opened his/her mouth.

How could you attach your name to this piece of junk, Luc Besson?

What's wrong with Liam Neeson's accent? No one cares if it sounds Irish. It sounds badass

I agree. Who says he wasn't from Ireland originally? A lot of Americans are naturalized citizens. I never got the feeling that he was trying to fake and American accent at all, which was good.

It's funny how often you see this exact thread title, or some slight variant on it, on the board for pretty much every single movie ever, ranging from Citizen Kane to Birdemic and everywhere in between.

All the movies are the worst, apparently.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are so full of $#^$&%#$. I'd love to see you post about Gone With The Wind. You'd probably tear it to bits.

Give the guy a break, think about it, even though his daughter is taken
and he is doing everything it takes to get her back - he still gave
every bad guy a chance. Especially the fat Arab at the end. He could
have just handed her back, instead of, "We can ne...", bang! I'm guessing
the unfinished word would have been, 'negotiate'.

I don't know what is wrong with the world - but I know how to fix it.

Every time someone knocks on an action movie and compares it Jason Bourne, I want to slap them.

Jason Bourne was not the first movie of it's kind to feature a tough as nails super agent hero. Matt Damon is also one of the most unbelievable and unlikable guy to be an action star.

I have a better time watching the guy who trains Bruce Wayne into Batman play a badass former secret agent kicking ass than to watch a slightly retarded janitor from Good Will Hunting try to think he's 007+Bruce Lee.
