The Bourne Supremacy

I can't tell you about the quality of the plot or acting in this movie because I walked out on it half way through. However, I can warn you about the camera work. The camera is shaking constantly in every scene of this movie! At first I though they were having projector problems at the theater but apparently the director thinks people enjoy watching movies that appear to have been filmed by a drunk cameraman. Instead of enjoying the movie I was just trying to focus my eyes on the screen and wondering if someone had slipped something in my drink. I will never watch another movie done by this director again. Anyone who thinks jiggling the camera improves a movie should not be put in charge of a multi-million dollar project. I got my money back, and I'll be spending it on a movie directed by someone who has been introduced to the tripod. Shaky camera = bad movie!

This is a superior action film with the added bonus of good acting by Joan Allen, Matt Damon, and Karl Urban among others. The camera work is amazing. I especially liked the on-locale settings of Russia and Germany. Jason Bourne is a walking CIA specimen whom the agency deems to dangerous to live. Not all the facts are known about some mysterious murders in Berlin but Jason Bourne is suspected. You know his idyllic life on a remote island will be blown from the first. How this all is resolved takes the viewer on a non-stop chase through various foreign countries. Good flick!

This film is unwatchable! It's a migraine-inducing crock of shxt! It seems like they sacked the camera crew or ran out of money and had to return their tripods! The filming is worse than a YouTube amateur video of a crime scene. Wtf were they thinking!!?? I could not complete watching this movie. It was that bad! I could feel a migraine coming on approx half way through as the camera suddenly started swinging all over the place and jumping from scene to scene every 0.5 seconds. My wife felt exactly the same and had to close her eyes and just listen until we decided to just switch this shxt off! Some idiot even runs with the camera while filming this! How dumb! I will now consult a lawyer and see if it is possible to sue these morons for no advance warnings and the migraine pain & suffering caused. If I can't I hope Karma gets or has already got these fools. Shame because it started off quite good. Idiots!

For the love of G-d, keep that camera still! Jeez-louise, I had such high hopes for this film. I knew the story would be good; it had an excellent cast, and another chance for some great stunts and special effects. I'm sure the acting was good. But between the poor editing, and the abominable direction, it was hard to tell. I do not know who gave the green light to director Paul Greengrass, but as soon as the first dailies starting coming in, a gargantuan red light should have popped up. I have not seen anything else directed by Greengrass, but I will be sure to avoid anything else he does. The type of direction applied to this film was totally immature. There is a lot to be said for keeping the camera still, and letting your audience actually see what is happening. After viewing this film, I could kind of tell you what was going on with the story, but as far as the action sequences go, I've got nothing. Every action sequence was so fast and so jerky, that after a while, I stopped trying to follow what was going on. I figure wait until the end and then see where the story goes from there. I was really, Really, REALLY excited to see this sequel, and oh so terribly disappointed. Doug Liman did such a superior (no pun intended) job with the first film, I was pretty sure that The Bourne Supremacy would be its equal. Instead it is its jerky younger brother who doesn't know how to take direction. Save yourself the money. Stick with The Bourne Identity, and avoid The Bourne Supremacy.
