The Bourne Ultimatum User Reviews

i am a 12 year old girl and my friend who i have known since preschool had her father come in from florida, so of course, we let him pick the movie we were going to see that day. he picked bourne ultimatum, as did my friends 14 year old brother. me and my friend really did not want to see this movie, but it was a special occasion to have her father come in only about once every 2 months. we went to this movie and i needed to go to the bathroom extremely bad but i couldnt take my eyes off the screen. this movie is the best movie i have seen in about 2 or 3 years. i absolutely loved the action that keeps you on the edge of your seat. not only in some parts of the movie, but through the whole thing. im sure the whole theatre even heard me scream a few times. haha. and this movie is also not extremely hard to understand, seeing that i am a 12 year old girl who didnt see the other 2 bourne movies before this. again, i say THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

This was the best Bourne movie so far. I think it was the best movie of the summer. Great entertainment and not dumb at all. There is no one else who could play Bourne as well as Matt Damon. I give it five stars. This is Oscar worthy.

This is the best of all three movies. In my opinion the best action movie this year.

The movie was good, but the directing was awful. You could hardly tell what was going on half the time. I had to look away sometimes to keep from getting dizzy. I hate this very close up whizzing photography.

My husband and I enjoyed the movie! Neither of us noticed the "shaking of the cameras." Could it be because we're "senior citizens" and used to that sort of thing?

Camera work and action were the focus in this movie. The director clearly had an eye to awards and not to the character. The story line was weak and relationships were never developed. I love Matt Damon and the series but the first movie (and director) was the best. The next 2 in the series got caught up in the art of camera work and action and forgot about the character as a human being.

My twenty-five year old son and I went to see the Bourne Ultimatum today and even though there was very little to surprise us in the film. It was okay as an afternoon distraction.We found the story to be coherent because a well-designed link with prior movies and a nice tie up of previous story lines. The jerky camera movements didnt bother us . The action and the violence was justified. While we wouldn't rush out to purchase it, I would rate it a B over all performance category and not a waste of your hard earned dollars.

It only took me 5 minutes to know I was going to be sick. The last time I saw a movie with this shaky camera techinque, it was a rental and I promptly turned it off! this time I was trapped in a theater with others who apparently could stomach the wild and irradic camera, so I closed my eyes and fought the urge to throw up!!!! Who's idea was this? Certainly not a good one!!!!!!

Sorry, this one doesn't match the hype. Not even close. I heard so much about the "car chase." No such chase could occur in such a congested area. And what do you see? A fast exchange of images with lots of blur. And what about the plot? Predictable. The flashbacks get annoying. Image stabilization is purposely left out in the early scenes, for effect, of course. On the big screen it makes for uncomfortable watching. I expected more based on some wonderful marketing. Wish I hadn't wasted my time and money. I love action flicks and think Matt Damon has great potential, but this movie doesn't get my vote.
