The Bourne Ultimatum

It has taken me way too long to write this review and for that I apologize, I have had and continue to have a lot of tables. At any rate since this review will pretty much write itself I wanted to get to it. The Bourne Ultimatum, was the third in a trilogy about Jason Bourne, a blakc bag CIA operative who had lost his memory and has been slowly regaining it and trying to piece back his life from before a near fatal accident he had while doing a job. This movie in my opinion salvaged the summer of 2007. After the huge dissapointments of Spiderman 3 and Shreck the Third, it was nice to have a trilogy finally deliver.

In Bourne Ultimatum, the film maker, producers, cast and crew were able to incoroporate all the elements that worked in the first two movies in a such a way as to avoid being redunant and at the same time add a couple of new wrinkles to keep the audience focused on what was happening on screen. The movie featured creative action sequences and fight scenes, in this movie he used a phone book, as opposed to a magazine or pen; slick editing, some of the scenes from Bourne Supremacy, were inserted directly into this movie; the movie even had a plot twist at the end pertaining to his origin. The did not leave anything out, they did not leave any issues unresolved, in fact everyone got the just deserts and our star, well lets just say he is no worse for the wear.

Thank you Universal Studios, Matt Damon and all the rest for making a near perfect trilogy. The Bourne Series is up there with the original Star Wars (Episodes 4-6), Lord of the Rings, and The Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
