The Bourne Ultimatum

[samvara]

I'm still not a fan of the handycam style of film making, this is the first time I actually got queasy watching one. If I were to watch it again I'd sit way back and watch the seat in front of me more often.

Otherwise I'm in love, lots of action, Bourne being unbelievably competent, spycraft, bad guys, that MacGyver-esque ability to resolve complex problems with some sticky tape and a fan. There is a lot I can't take seriously but then again, I'm assuming it's meant to be utterly over the top - I was reminded of the Die Hard movies.

I loved Bourne U, I think it is an example of doing a genre so well, with enough twists to make it original. i love the "european" touch - ie car chase becomes scooter chase, through windy alleys ratehr than freeways. The Morocann rooftop chase was geat. And I love Bourne with all his man pain, who in keeping with that doesn't talk about his feelings. I think the exposition of the back story was done so well. And a gerat set up at the end for a sequel - or a prequel.

Of course I couldnt help but think how much I'd like to see Jared or Jensen in this type of role *g*

Oh god yes, I loved the leaping over things and when he was wrapping his hands and you just knew it was for a reason and then the vaulting over the glass!

J2 - both handsome men who do 'scary-competent' very well. I'd watch it.

I adored it too - saw it Sunday and am wondering whether they will continue it again, especially as I undersatnd there to be only 3 books?
