I don't know what else to add then? You can continue to defend it and I will continue to criticize it.

 

I'm not defending the movie -- like I said, I didn't like it at all. I'm defending the process by which it was created, because fans always look back with 20/20 hindsight and I wanted to point out it's never that simple.

No, I agree with you that it's not that simple and that movies will morph throughout the production process. A good example would be Bourne Ultimatum, which had to be re-written while it was being shot.

I was just also pointing out that some movies don't turn out so lucky and are pretty much doomed from the start - they're so hasty to rush the film out, they don't have a proper working script to start with or don't try to find assistance with improving it.

 

I think I'm burnt out overall from this summer's disappointing movies and I'm scared/sad that the Jason Bourne movie was the result of the same studio greed.

OMG Alicia Vikander was so so SO bad in this, did she even try? Excellent phone in performance on her part. Also, the constant unsteady cam was taxing to watch. Overall, this was just a shell of film 1 through 3. Totally disappointing.

Looks to finish with about 410m worldwide. Enough for a sequel?

Of course it's never that simple...but what matters is the movie.  What shows up to us in theaters.  That's all that really matters in the end.  If it's good, people will flock to it (in most cases).  If it's middling or not good, we usually see an equally tepid reaction.

It was my favorite movie of last year.

 

I finally saw The Martian It was a very solid movie! I feel like Matt Damon was just playing himself but that wasn't a bad thing.

I don't remember anything from this movie, don't even remember it when I think of 2016 movies. Which is shocking cause the trilogy was so great, especially Ultimatum.

hey man... not everyone can be jason bourne. it's one to break out for rare occasions. can't use the golden buzzer for every act.

I'm not sure if we did it or not, but it should have gotten a lot of usage in 2018 given the plethora of Jason Bourne cameos we got in other films
