Movie Reviews of The Bourne Ultimatum (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Driving backwards off a parking garage, crashing and walking away? Oh, I don't think so...
Summary: 2 Stars
This one really pushes the implausability meter. I mean, initially it works, and I'm with it. But when we get up to to the sequences of "jumping off a roof through windows and landing perfectly" then the serious doubts start to manifest.
Great, breath-taking action and jerky cinematography (but would it have killed them to mount the camera, just once, for just one still scene?)
The big payoff at the end was sortof a dud. I won't give spoilers here but... that's it? That was the big three-years-of-running, three-film secret?
I dunno. Not much of a payoff. Now Bourne vs. 6-7 super-soldier guys in hand-to-hand.... that would have been cooler.
Thumbs down if you need to, but I bet you thought the same thing...
Movie Review: amazing action/fight scenes
Summary: 5 Stars
truly enjoyable movie, fight scenes much better choreographed than the first Bourne movie. Lots of allusions to the first two so be sure that you see those first. It's a shame that this is the last one, they keep getting better.Movie Review: Love the Bourne Movies, slow download
Summary: 4 Stars
Movie was great, but the slow download means the on demand feature is too slow to be practical. It took 30 minutes to BEGIN the download and about two more hours to actually download! Movie Review: The Ultimate Ride
Summary: 5 Stars
Not being a proffesional reviewer all I know is this film was the culmination of a sensational piece of entertaiment plus!! It's a non stop adventure ride with all the twists and turns of a great storyline. The casting of Matt Damon was a stroke of genius. The last film was probably the most exilerating. When I need a night of pure escapism sitting down and watching the Bourne saga is the perfect medicine. I LOVE IT!!! Movie Review: Great movie. Horrible combo
Summary: 4 Stars
I am glad that HD DVD lost the HD format war. The HD DVD combo format was such a flop that I cannot understand why Universal and Warner continued to issue then. The only reason I bought this US combo version and not the UK non-combo version was the fact that the US version had a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. I have seen this movie a lot and the movie freezes at almost the exact same place, around 1:27 when the bad guys are chasing Bourne in the parking lot, and I am getting tired of it.
However, the movie itself is simply amazing. I didn't like it at all when I saw it in the theater. I think it was because I sat too close to the screen. This HD DVD version is so good (other than the horrible combo stuff described above). The picture and sound is really great. I have come not to like too much the computer manipulated colors on various other releases, like Spider-man 3 and the latest Harry Potter. The natural colors and saturation on this release is so great, full of detail. The sound is equally great with really good dynamics and space created by my five speakers. It is a very engaging sountrack, the basses are deep and the details are clear.
I haven't returned this because I know that all combo format HD DVDs are the same (I have the same experience with American Gangster, which I bought in a local shop where I live, and am considering buying the UK version to get a non combo version) and I can get around it with some fast rewind. What seems to work when the movie freezes is to rewind a couple of seconds and play the sequence again. Ever so often the playback continues past the point it froze. Like I wrote above is this the only version with Dolby TrueHD, so I have chosen to keep it.
Anyone considering buying this version should consider buying the UK version instead if the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack isn't that important to you.
