Favorite of the 3, the plot is thin, but hasn't it always been? Its damn well made and Greengrass makes shaky cam its own art form. You still see and feel every action so its actually not what we call today "shaky Cam" 

 

This movie is just on a treadmill the whole time on full speed its relentless. The ending shot though and that music <3

Good conclusion to the trilogy and I loved how the weaved in the events from Supremacy into this. Nice job reworking the timeline. The only thing that kind of bugged me was how they retconned the Nicky (Julia Stiles) character so that she had some sort of past with Bourne. If you watch Identity (which I had a couple nights earlier), it's obvious she had no connection with Bourne when she sees his picture, along with Marie, come across her computer screen.

 

In any case, good action and although the shaky-cam was a bit much, but I enjoyed it even if it's a slight step back from Supremacy.

Pretty awesome flick. Enjoyed the action scenes, especially the one in Tangier and New York. The shaky camera is still there sadly but its not as atrocious thankfully. 

 

I like how it avoids all the dumb cliches you see in other action movies. 

 

The ending is awesome.

The Bourne Ultimatum starts a little oddly. Taking place immediately after the climax of The Bourne Supremacy, Jason Bourne begins remembering fragments of a major event in his life. It instantly reminds one of the set-up to Supremacy and gets one worrying this might a retread. However, these worries are unfounded as The Bourne Ultimatum is the best in the series by far. The plot is simpler, but bolstered by the additions of David Strathairn and Albert Finney along with a more intriguing story for the CIA-side of things. Greengrass steps up his game and has the movie feature three spectacular setpieces where only one would make this an incredible movie on its own, but with all three, it's a stunning achievement by director Paul Greengrass. The Bourne Ultimatum is a constantly kinetic trilogy capper that never lets up the thrills and stands as one of the greatest spy movies ever made. A
