Wordiezett So much average

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

EBJ 'THE BOURNE SUPREMACY' was directed by Paul Greengrass and stars Matt Damon, Joan Allen and Brian Cox. ​Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is living in India when he is framed by Russian agent Kirill (Karl Urban) for the theft of millions from the CIA. Kirill begins to pursue Bourne, intending to assassinate him -- but while Bourne and his girlfriend, Marie (Franka Potente), are on the run, a shot meant for him kills her instead. Vowing revenge, Bourne sets out to prove his innocence and bring the culprits to justice, but he has to evade CIA head Pamela Landry (Joan Allen), who is convinced he is guilty.I actively dislike 'The Bourne Identity'. I was very disappointed by it and don't understand the love for it. Thus, I put off seeing this movie for quite some time. I regret doing so. 'The Bourne Supremacy' trumps its predecessor in pretty much every conceivable way. Franka Potente's character, Marie Kreutz, from the first was probably my least favourite part of the movie and she's gone! I imagine this upset many people but I personally was delirious with it and love the arc change it gives to Bourne. Enough comparisons, let's get into what makes this movie great.The story. I really like the story for this movie but I don't know why. It shouldn't work for me but there is some mystery and government conspiracy that entices me to like it. I know that this is basically a good way to describe the plot of Identity but it felt so much more refined in this one than it did with Identity. I do have issues with the way the film ends, however. It feels kinda anti-climactic and the final scene is very weak, without context from Ultimatum. I wont spoil the ending but I just wasn't very satisfied by it.Damon was good in Identity and I will say he was probably the best part of the film. We see his transformation into Bourne at the end and that is fully explored in this movie, and that benefits Damon immensely. It enables him to give a brilliant performance that delves deep into Bourne's mind and portrays a unique blend of pure, unfiltered emotion and pure, unfiltered awesomeness. Opposing Bourne is my least favourite aspect of this film. The villain is very weak overall and I was not impressed or entertained by them in the slightest. Karl Urban's Kiril was pretty cool and provided a physical opposition to Bourne but had too little backstory and motivation to make me really feel invested in his character or care. I get he is a contract killer and that is fine but I would have liked more explanation to his character and background.Joan Allen was very good as Pamela Landy and was a very welcome addition to the cast. Brian Cox was great as Ward Abbot but I would have liked a little more from him in the long run character wise. The other, more minor supporting cast, all did fine jobs and none of them actively irked me, performance wise.Aside from ONE poorly done action scene in this movie, the movie was well shot, directed and edited together. Greengrass remains the only living director capable of using hand-held cam effectively and, while he perfects the craft later on, utilises the unpopular technique effectively here. There are next to no special effects in this movie which is both phenomenal and admirable for an action film in this day and age and I cannot thank the crew enough for that.This is more minor but I love the score for these movies. It's awesome and amazing and badass and has earned my love. I rarely comment on a film's score unless I like it a lot so good job to the composers.In conclusion, I really liked The Bourne Supremacy. If, like me, you didn't like Identity, I still urge you to give this one a shot. It's got great acting, good action, an interesting story, and while the villain does drag it down a peg or two, it is still a thrilling ride from beginning to end. I'll rate this movie a solid 7 Stalking Bournes out of 10 and definitely recommend you see this great movie.

Miguel Neto The Bourne Supremacy is my favorite Bourne saga, but it's still not a movie I liked as much as I wanted, as I'm not a fan of the saga, but the film is better than the first, Paul Greengrass does a good direction, He is very competent in the directing scenes, and he manages to make the actors have good performances, especially Matt Damon who is always good as Jason Bourne, the script is also better, has fewer problems, and the rhythm of the movie is better, I thought The first one very tiring at times, the movie also has more action than the first one, and it's good, it has interesting dialogues, but it was not the movie that I expected, I thought some of Bourne would be on the list of my favorite action films , Unfortunately have passed away, but just like the first, many people will like. Note 7.3

CinemaCocoa Paul Greengrass takes over the series as director, and very much feels like he cut his teeth with this one.Despite being freely off the grid and with the head of the insidious Treadstone project killed, Bourne believes the worst is over. But when a Russian assassin takes away the only thing left in Bourne's life, he thinks Treadstone is after him once again. But the plot is even thicker than he can know…Even perhaps a decade later, my opinion of The Bourne Supremacy has not changed in the slightest. I love this trilogy, I even have the steelbook edition, but Supremacy really doesn't sit well with me and not just by comparison of its far superior (no pun intended) siblings.I love me some consistency, and the trilogy delivers that in spades. John Powell returns with an electrifying twist on his original score for Bourne Identity, and even Moby's Extreme Ways returns for the end credits, Matt Damon and Brian Cox reprise their roles very well. In fact I would say the latter steals the show, delivering a frail, cowardly yet sadly sympathetic antagonist, and his scenes with newcomer Joan Allen are probably the most effective for me. The film still has that edgy atmosphere whenever Bourne is stalking around Europe, America and Russia in this globe-trotting sequel, the tension is still real.Yet… the editing is atrocious!I really mean it. 2004 must have been when shaky-cam became a thing because Supremacy's action sequences are really, really bad. Not even restricted to the action sequences, even regular tracking shots and panning shots are wobbling all over the place. I appreciate some of it, to invoke kinetic action and uncontrolled rage (representing Bourne's own survival instincts) but you have to dial it back. All I tend to take away from this film is 1. the film's main action set piece, a car chase around Moscow, is heavily shaky-cam, and 2. this is suffers from second installment syndrome.To watch Supremacy alone is pointless. At one hour thirty-seven minutes it flies by, none of the returning characters are given time to re-establish themselves, new characters are barely touched on. Without the first film's great pacing and establishing and the third films incredible payoff, Supremacy is just… noise.There are moments of cleverness that I enjoy; the chase Bourne makes from Police that involves running across two train tracks, off a bridge, onto a boat only to double-back back onto the bridge again from underneath? That was impressive. That and how Bourne takes control of the situation from underneath the organisation hunting him. It is a fantastic "you got owned" scene that does so much to empower our hero and validate every other characters' fear of him.Of course, I said earlier I love this trilogy. Supremacy is redeemed by its successor, and Supremacy is the glue that the series relies upon, take it out and it falls apart. But as a singular experience I really don't think highly of it in cinematography terms.

The Grand Master The Bourne Supremacy is a welcome follow up to the 2002 box office hit The Bourne Identity. Matt Damon makes a welcome return as former CIA assassin Jason Bourne who continues to be haunted by his past. Paul Greengrass takes over the director's chair from Doug Liman and he ensures that The Bourne Supremacy is just as good, if not better, as the original Bourne movie.The Bourne Supremacy picks up 2 years later from the original movie where Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, Saving Private Ryan) and Marie Kreutz (Franke Potente, Run Lola Run) have begun a new life in Goa, India. Jason Bourne is still being haunted by flashbacks from his past including the murder of a Russian Politician and his wife in a hotel room. Jason Bourne is brought to the attention of no-nonsense Deputy Director Pamela Landy (Joan Allen, Face/Off) after Bourne's fingerprint was planted at an interrupted meeting in Berlin which resulted in the deaths of two CIA agents at the hands of Russian assassin Krill (Karl Urban, Dredd). Krill pursues Bourne and Marie in Goa which results in a fateful encounter which sees Bourne seeking out why his past has not left him alone. With Pamela Landy and shadowy Deputy Director Ward Abbott (Brian Cox, Manhunter) investigating why Bourne has seemingly come out of hiding, Bourne must yet again revisit his old life to find out who is after him, why has he been framed, and will his past ever go away. Matt Damon returns to his best role as Jason Bourne and wasn't it awesome to see him return. It was also fantastic to see several cast members return for the sequel include Franke Potente, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Gabriel Mann, and in flashbacks Chris Cooper. Joining the cast for the ride include Karl Urban (excellent as the main villain Krill), Joan Allen, and in small roles Martin Csokas and Michelle Monaghan.Director Paul Greengrass ensured that The Bourne Supremacy was just as good as the first by keeping the story flowing, the suspenseful action engaging, and audiences glued to their seats from start to finish. When I first saw The Bourne Supremacy, I thought it has lost a bit of impact with the irritating shaky camera. Numerous viewings later, I have reevaluated my opinion and I've thoroughly enjoyed The Bourne Supremacy each and every time I've watched it. The Bourne Supremacy was a welcome addition to the Bourne series and it comes as no surprise that it was very popular amongst audiences and critics making it a very successful hit at the box office in 2004.The Bourne Supremacy can be added to the list of sequels that has been just as good as the original movie. Sequels such as Mad Max 2 (1981), Aliens (1986), Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), The Dark Knight (2008) are some perfect examples and The Bourne Supremacy earns a well deserved spot on the coveted list.The Bourne Supremacy is still an excellent movie from start to finish by continuing to stick to its theme of staying true to its role a thinking man's action movie with spectacular stunts, fight scenes, action sequences and more twists and turns than a roller coaster ride, rightfully putting many no brainer action movies to shame. The Bourne Supremacy showed no signs of going stale or repeating itself by continuing to expand on the original movie and aiming to go one better. Fans of The Bourne Identity will not be disappointed.9/10.
