[ecstasy]

So they made a rotten Bourne movie. This makes me sad.

Fair Game is supposedly decent

Jumper is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in the theater.

 

I concur

Looks like I won't be paying to see this one on the big screen. Shame.

[John Marston]

Damn who would have thought Nerve would get better reviews than this

 

still seeing it though 

[MovieMan89]

Yikes, this is in trouble at the BO with those kind of reviews. Bourne is totally a reception based franchise. I can't imagine a really successful one that doesn't have great reception. I just assumed it would be on par with the trilogy given Greengrass and Damon's involvement all these years later, but I guess the lack of much shown in the marketing really was an indicator the studio didn't have much faith in the quality of it after all.

Might be saving this one for Discount Tuesday next week. First time I might not see a Bourne movie on opening weekend.

I'm throwing a Bourne marathon party (with 5 or so friends) tomorrow. Shit is gonna be lit.

I really don't get why this movie was made if it is indeed so underwhelming? Is Greengrass really desperate for the cash? Damon certainly shouldn't be. Doesn't seem fitting of either of them to want to just do a cash grab. Unless it's just one of those cases of critics not "getting" a film and it's a lot better than reviews suggest.

I don't in any way endorse teens acting reckless, but your "shit be lit" parties are soooo tame.

Every summer people are like "next summer will be better" and it never is

Actors and directors take on projects that scream "easy paycheck" all the time. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

You mean parties usually consist of more than watching your favorite action movies?

This really has been a kinda blah summer overall, though. Probably the weakest since 2006 (what does it say that The Devil Wears Prada has endured much longer than its more popcorn-ready competition?).

Yeah, easy money is easy money. It's not like Greengrass and Bourne signed up for Jason Bourne exclusively for cash, it's just they were likely primarily motivated by dollar signs when they signed up for the project originally.

And ironically '13 was a crappy summer along with '03. Must be something about those 3's and 6's. 

[filmlover]

Summer '13 was pretty good for the most part, actually. And Summer '03 had Nemo and Pirates 1 so it automatically wins.

[Chewy]

All summers are gonna be crappy. You'll get a few blockbusters you like and maybe a comedy or two and then a whole bunch of dreck

 

But every year people hype up the next summer by just listing ten franchise movies and pretending it's gonna be rad

As generally weak as this summer has been, I'm definitely not saying that about 2017
