Big bourne fan. big disappointed. - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Movie fans. This was a mess. Greengrass uses a shaking handheld camera for the ENTIRE film. Not for effect mind you. It's used here to REPLACE the action and suspense we've come to expect in this fine series. Uninspired, disjointed movie making. Seriously, it TOTALLY misses the mark.

Good film bad director - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

This is one of the best ones but the camera moves too much even on dialogue scenes, the action scenes, you have to look closely, but aside from the director the movie was good but i wouldnt pay to see it again

Bourne insanity - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Bourne is a man in crisis. He can't remember his past. He is uncertain about his future. He needs to know the truth. He also has magic powers that would put Spiderman and Superman to shame. He leaps through the air, crashes through windows, drives off 10 story buildings, piles cars up like metal burritos, defies gravity and then miraculously walks away with only a limp. The holes in logic of this film defy description. We have a "Covert Op" of the CIA that apparently has the capability to control every camera, hear every cell phone, read every floor plan of every building ever made anywhere on the planet at any time...and yet.. Jason Bourne can walk right into their headquarters, steal top secret documents and then dematerialize like Frodo with a clocking device, without anyone even looking up from their laptop. Oh, did I mention that Bourne can travel at the speed of light? He can apparently move from country to country like most of us move from the refrigerator to the kitchen table. Not that he would ever need either one, because apparently he doesn't need to eat or drink. Anything. Ever. Some have tried to suggest that Bourne has a moral center. It's this "deep moral conscience" that forbids him from doing harm to anyone. Not anymore. He's had enough of that killing stuff. Really? He may feel bad about killing a fellow assassin but he has no qualms about driving a police car into oncoming traffic at 100 miles an hour. There are people in those cars. People with children, and babies in car seats, and grandmothers, and defenseless animals. The film is so worried about Bourne uncovering a plot by the "evil CIA" to kill 7 or 8 unsuspecting "US Citizens" that it forgets to notice that Jason is using a police car like a missile in rush hour traffic, putting hundreds of lives at risk. Not to mention thousands of dollars in increased insurance rates. If you ask me, if he wants to fight injustice, he can start there. This is just one more blurry, shakey-handy-cam attempt by Hollywood to promote their goofy "left wing conspiracy" mumbo-jumbo nonsense. My guess is that Bourne's next movie will have him out there combating global climate change. We'll just call it "Global Bourne-ing" and be done with it.

Vertigo... - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

How very unfortunate for this Bourne series fan. I thought I was watching a 1990's MTV video. 3/4 of the way throught he movie, I felt myself experiencing vertigo and had a headache for 2 hrs. afterwards. This was a cinematic/directorial failure, in my opinion. If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. I love everything about the Bourne story. Love "Identity" and "Supremacy". Big Matt Damon fan. Love intriue/espionage. etc. etc. But this constant, excessive movement of the camera and constant quick changing of scene's is literally nauseous. Also, story is getting tired... my 2 cents

Will someone buy paul greegrass a tripod. please! - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

If only I could have concentrated on the movie without the constant distraction of the 8th grade handheld camera work. The second film had the notion - a hand held camera used by a cinematographer on jolt, 10 cups of coffee and speed - make for an exciting movie. This was woorse. For me, I felt like I was trying to watch a good story, with talented support from a Yugo going 80 mph over one foot speed bumps. Too bad.

I am so dizzy. - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

i wonder if pot head greengrass had to attend some directors school to learn how to shake a camera so that the audience can't see anything...the camera moves throughout the film. worst filming then blair witch project. some one should tell greengrass that shaking a camera doesn't make the film more realistic....we know the camera guy is filming the scenes and he is not an interactive 3rd person character...nothing significant in the movie...stretch of part 1 and 2. the first part was an awesome film with nice direction and different director who didn't shake the camera...which is why the movie became so popular and greengrass ruined it all in part 2 and 3. i don't think greengrass will land a decent job again even though the movie is getting a good rating (thanks to part 1)....people know he fuked it up.

Unbearably bad movie making - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Tried to watch Bourne Friday nite but was just unable to do it. The camera work is not just horribly bad, that would be too kind. The ENTIRE movie is shot as if an 11 year old child was given the camera and asked to "jiggle it a whole lot" perhaps to create the illusion of action. It never, never, stops jiggling. It looks at times, too, as if he was told to sneak up at times & try to peek between people's arms - but don't worry if half the lens is covered by their arm. Chase scenes are incomprehensibly blurry, maddeningly incoherent, annoyingly dijointed, you name it. There is NOTHING good about the camera work here. And it unequivically ruins the entire movie. There could be a good movie in there somewhere. I just couldn't watch it.
