Jason Bourne | 7.29.2016 | One week IMAX release on August 26 thanks to Ben Hur flopping

This Summer has been fine. Its no 2014 but not every year can be

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

The end of the summer is redeeming it for me. Hopefully Suicide Sqaud is fun, Sausage Party is as funny as we are hearing, and Pete's Dragon delivers on it's promising early reviews. I may check this out, but probably on a morning matinee/cheap Tuesday.

I really enjoyed the movie. While it was no where close to ultimatum, it is much better legacy. Its definitely great to see an action thriller after all SH movies/CG fest etc. Overall would rate B+.

I was not expecting this to be honest.

I can see why some complained about the camera shaking. Ugh. Many of the action scenes were ruined by it in my opinion. Also shaking camera in even talking scenes. WHY? 

 

Basically somewhat better than Legacy and worse than the original three.

Its the shacking camera new in Greengrass? I think people need to refresh Ultimatum and Supremacy, specially the latter. Ultra shacking cam is everywhere.

Its probably the worst I've seen. Its tolerable in Supremacy and Ultimatum, but Jason Bourne takes it up a notch. 

 

Weird thing is in the trailers you don't see it. Probably some sort of stabilizing filter. 

 

 

The car chase scene was not too badish, but the final fight was not fun to watch.

That doesn't look very encouraging.....considering that the first 3 films had higher reception.

 

This one's more like Bourne Legacy reception on RT.....which weren't bad either....and also from mixed/meh to ok/decent.

I like Matrix Reloaded, X2, T3, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Nemo, to say nothing of Pirates, so I would pick summer '03 over this one in heartbeat. 

would take Hulk over the latest superhero movie as well.

Greengrass is Hollywood royallty by the way, one of the very few A-List directors to command 10m$ a pop.

 

So yes he got 10M to shake his boot.... camera again for this.

Jason Bourne looks to be the definition of getting "mixed" reviews. It is on the cusp of being "fresh", and has reviews that are very positive like this:

 

• Damon is terrific as the impressively skilled yet poignantly haunted Bourne. Jones is malevolence personified as Dewey. And Vikander lends a steely confidence to Lee. 3.5/4 stars
• Gripping from the outset, the most powerful thing about this tense action thriller is that it is intensely personal with a great sense of high stakes and risks
• Fast paced, engaging, inventive, intelligent and thrilling, Jason Bourne reminds us what a talented director Paul Greengrass is - and what a great script writer, too

 

And then very negative reviews like this:

 

• This stale, redundant story goes round in the same tight circles, revealing one piddling new secret and containing one unconvincing change of character. 1.5/4 stars
• Simultaneously pretentious, mind-numbingly tedious, and dizzyingly incoherent from scene to scene, Jason Bourne is the definition of diminishing returns.
• It's the opposite of exciting. It's the visual equivalent of white noise, and if you're not careful, you might fall asleep.

 

Sometimes it boggles my mind how reviewers can have such radically different opinions on a single film - as if they saw an entirely different movie. But that's the reality of opinions, heh. Like some others have mentioned in here, I was pretty much going to see this film regardless of reviews. I mean, maybe if it was like under 10% on RT, I'd skip it, but I'm too big of a Damon-as-Bourne fan to miss out.

 

Peace,

Mike

Of course It's just interesting, as people paid to critically evaluate films, (even if reviews are at their essence opinions), that there are such radically different evaluations of a film, particularly on the same specific criteria or elements of the film. There are always those reviewers that will be "outliers" so to speak, but I find it interesting with very mixed reviewed films such as this.

Peace,

Mike
