The Bourne Supremacy, July 2004
#177
I saw this again last night. The theater was packed...every seat filled except about 3 or 4 in the front row.
After a second viewing I did enjoy the storyline a lot more, but the shaky camera work was even more apparent in this one....it seemed like every scene was like that. I hope they don't use that technique in The Bourne Ultimatum.

Not as good as the first, but a decent sequel.
The action sequences flat-out sucked, though. The Big Chase was about as one quarter as exciting as it should have been because the shakey cam, the badly edited quick cuts, and the lack of master shots made the whole sequence literally incoherent. The director, cinematographer and editors all need to be sent to Summer Film School.

I've never read the Jason Bourne novels and I haven't yet seen the Bourne Identity. I'll rent it and give it a spin.

In Bourne Identitly, it's a messed up situation as Bourne is still unsure who he is and why he is being hunted.But In Part 2 there is a lot of characters back from part 1 so you will need to know who is who.Just like Bourne learns.If you just watch Bourne Supremacy then you might think the characters are undelevoped.And the story is moving very fast

Loved this one. Not quite up to the first but still very enjoyable. Stiles did a great job with her scene with Bourne. She really looked scared as hell. The shake-cam was there but not as jarring IMO as it was in Man On Fire.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the beginning of the credits?

I saw it last night and I thought it was great.
I like the way they shot the fight and car chases. The wife thought the chase was a bit long(she always thinks that), but she like the movie overall also. I'm glad I bought the Identity last week and saw Supremacy last night.

I am lukewarm on the whole Bourne franchise. I just don't find anyone in the films likable. I have no one to root for.
As for the aforementioned Man On Fire, I really liked it, much more than either Bourne films. I hate the shaky cams though, and I found it a lot worse in Supremacy.

i saw this a few days ago and was very unimpressed. it was nowhere near as good as the first one. the biggest problem i had with this was that the plot just didn't seem to go anhywhere for me. the whole time i was just thinking that i really wasn't too interested in what was happening. i hope the 3rd one will be better.

Saw it last night and really enjoyed it. I really wouldnt mind if they made a third, if the script is good.
Ha. I was thinking the same thing as was my friend. That taxi was tough.

Exactly what I thought.
