Saw it today. Easily the best one in the series. Bourne out-smarted the entire collective CIA district no less than five times, which is like twice as much as both of the first two movies. I loved it from start to finish. Completely awesome.

I especially liked how they revealed his past with Nikki. It added a real "oh man what a mind-blower" aspect to the scene from Bourne Supremacy where he's holding a gun to her head. And the scene where he's looking in on her while she's dying her hair and cutting it gave me all sorts of deja-vu, which was nice since Bourne got that expression on his face of "Not again, never again.

Thoughts?

EDIT: And the fights were actually fights rather than Zip-Tie Wrestling Match! So much better than #2.

I saw it when it first came out, I loved it. I loved em all. I'd like to find a place I can get the music at the end when the news announcer says that no body has been found. I like it. Although I kind of would have liked to see him settle back down or something, this way it's kind of open-ended for the imagination. I guess he can't become David Webb again either since the news kind of ANNOUNCED HIS REAL NAME AND SHOWED HIS FACE so if he did he'd be hassled by like, press or something...

Also: what Vosen said and the look on his face when Bourne said on the phone that they'd be having the conversation face to face was priceless.

And those be my thoughts.

The ending theme is Extreme Ways. The first two movies it was by Moby, but this one was a remix.

And yeah, the phone conversation between him and the CIA guy was priceless.

Has anyone heard if they're making another? It seems as though they might with the ending of this last one.

Doubtful - the movies were just adaptations to the novel trilogy. There's no story left to expose, but I am curious as to what Bourne does now.

I saw the midnight premier, great stuff.

theres talk of a sequel, based on a licensed off-shoot call the Bourne Legacy, written by some other guy (not Ludlum).

Sounds like Damon's done with it though.

Brighter note, a Bourne Identity game, also sans Damon, is in the works.

:D

Dude that followed the books about as well as I can pull off a triple backflip. The only thing it used was the universe and the book titles. All of the main villians were left out, Maria gets killed and Bourne isn't in his 50's fighting the Jackal on a tropical island.
