I hate to see a series or movie that is successfull to change characters and directors.
This is not a Bourne Film.
I even couldn't watch it.
Terminator shares the same fate.
No more terminator movies after the first two.
This will never be successful.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they reference 1 in 2, 2 in 3, also?

Many, myself included, LIKE references to previous films, if they are in a series. This wasn't REALLY a Jason Bourne film, so maybe it's not such a bad idea to either "catch" people up who HAVE watched the previous films, or just entertain those who haven't, with a little "extra".

I don't think "referencing" Pamela Landy and what she could do, in the way of exposing those who are breaking the law, was such a bad idea. It's puts things into perspective.

Agreed. It simply wouldn't have been a Bourne Universe film if they hadn't referenced the earlier films especially Ultimatum, as it's happening roughly around the same time.🐭
