Title: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: Khushrenada on August 03, 2007, 09:58:25 PM: Just saw the movie tonight. I'm not going to get into my thoughts right now because it's late but I just thought I'd start this thread to give Svevan someplace to release his thoughts on the movie. We all know he's going to see it also.

I'll give my impressions later but I will say this for now. Very great in the beginning and middle. The end just didn't seem to compare to what came before it.

Post by: Mashiro on August 03, 2007, 10:09:33 PM: Even better than Bullitt?
Title: RE:Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: Khushrenada on August 03, 2007, 10:21:35 PM: Yeah, even better than Bullitt. It makes Bullitt's car chase look slow and tame. And Bullitt is the only other car chase I would classify as one of the all-time greatest.

Post by: ShyGuy on August 03, 2007, 10:32:44 PM: The car chase in Bourne Identity is very good, definitely in the top 10. Bullit is notable because it, along with The Great Escape, set the standard for things to come. I think the car chase(s) from Ronin slightly edge out the Bourne Identity.

The greatest, however, may be the car chase from the Blues Brothers.

That's a special case on account of having Ray Charles and James Brown sing in the same movie. Thus it is exempt from all rules and regulations.

Post by: EasyCure on August 04, 2007, 03:54:53 PM: i think they filmed this near my house. maybe about half a year ago i saw matt damon in this closed off section of the parking lot of the super market two blocks from where i live. i haven't seen this or any of the bourne movies in i can't verify if was this or another film however.

Post by: Mashiro on August 04, 2007, 06:03:41 PM: That was awesome haha.
Title: RE: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: TrueNerd on August 04, 2007, 07:26:58 PM: That was about as awesome as I expected.

LATE EDIT: To clarify, I was talking about the movie, not that link a few posts above me. My current film of the year.

Post by: Svevan on August 07, 2007, 01:54:44 PM: Thoughts forthcoming. I have to see the movie first. I've been out of town in Portland since Thursday. While I was there I got to see Paprika and Goya's Ghosts, and 2001: A Space Odyssey and Paths of Glory were playing at a Kubrick retrospective. It was, to say the least, an awesome weekend.

And that's why the thread is titled present for EVAN! In a side note, that's how I feel about Transformers, although you can skip the DVD part.

Anyways, you need to get with it Evan. I'm going to be seeing the movie again this weekend so now we'll really be ready to get into a discussion of it. I'm interested to see what it will be like to watch it again knowing what happens now. Not going to be much tension.

Post by: Caliban on September 01, 2007, 03:33:15 PM: Watched it yesterday, action scenes (fighting, extreme car chases) were good, the rest of the movie was just comical in my opinion.

Post by: ShyGuy on September 01, 2007, 03:43:16 PM: Karl, make sure you pimp that movie podcast with a link somewhere. I forgot where it was located.

I think Evan is intimidated by this movie!
Title: RE: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: that Baby guy on September 02, 2007, 07:58:25 AM: svevanevansvevevananesnavenavenan is a movie? Or are we still talking about the Bourn Ultimatum?

Post by: King of Twitch on September 02, 2007, 12:02:40 PM: I could've gotten the plot (the government is as bad as terrorists) by flipping on MSNBC or CNN.
Title: RE: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: Kairon on September 02, 2007, 12:09:55 PM: I'm really reluctant to watch this because it looks like Bourne is too uber.
Title: RE: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: Svevan on February 06, 2008, 07:30:10 PM: P.S. I did finally see this, um, in October of last year? Yeah it was good. Supremacy is better.
Title: RE: Present for Evan: The Bourne Ultimatum discussion.
Post by: ShyGuy on February 06, 2008, 07:42:03 PM: I think Supremacy lost some of the illusion of believability. The CIA just came across as dumb for falling for his tricks for the third movie in a row. The bathroom fight was intense though.

Post by: nitsu niflheim on February 07, 2008, 03:17:06 AM: I've only seen The Bourne Identity so far, and that was after reading the book. I will watch the other two after reading the other two books.

I liked the first movie even though the story in the movie was a major change from who Jason Bourne was in the book, but it was still fun to watch and I enjoyed the new story.

So what you're saying is, Supremacy is....supreme?

Post by: Gylldas on February 09, 2008, 06:40:39 PM: It seems like ages since I was this movie. I generally liked it but I agree it wasn't the best of the three. The most disappointing part to me was the ending. Couldn't they have come up with something a bit more exciting than...Bourne signing himself up for the position???
