I love Matt Damon! On that gorgeous face is such intelligent eyes. I think that feature simply stole the show in the first two of the Bourne movies (Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy). So there was no way I was not going to see the Bourne Ultimatum. Incidently, the Supremacy and Ultimatum were directed by Paul Greengrass and the Identity was by someone else (name escapes me).
I love the actor and loved the first two movies, so I expected to love the last one in the series. I did not expect be blown away! But that is exactly what happened this afternoon/evening. It all started with me not driving down to NY on Sunday. The trip got postponed till tomorrow (Tuesday), and worked was wrapped up, so I found myself at the loose end of doing nothing and not wanting to start something I could not finish this evening. I was in Burlington, so going for the movie sounded most logical. Besides I needed it! I almost bought the ticket to see HP 5. But, all the memories were just too damn fresh, new and painful. So, Bourne it was. I had to wait a while, but it was worth the wait.
Everything in that movie was stellar, every moment, every breath, every word, every note was in a word... Perfect! So speaketh the person who is still relishing every moment and reliving every bit of that movie.
The memorable moments:
1. How about the whole dang movie!
2. The trailers that were aired over TV, does give away one terrific scene: The phone conversation between Jason Bourne and Noah Vosen, with Noah waiting in a car, awaiting Bourne to show up and claiming to be in his office, and of course Jason: "If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face". Despite having heard and seen that several times on trailer, it was just fantastic to see it in context of the movie.
3. There isn't one spectacular car chase as in Ronin or in any of the movies I have seen, there are multiple fantastic ones. One in Tangier on motor cycles, one in New York. The feel, the sense of the chase is always on. From the first shot till the end the thrill does not stop. Of course, there are some goofs, I caught just one, but they were so well executed. One of the hillarious lines (spoiler) by a agent when he reporting to Noah Vosen, on where Jason is: "He just drove off the roof!" Just for this line, you have got the see the movie.
Always on my 'Must Buy' list, just jumped to 'MUST buy the extended (if-there-is-one)' list. And of course, will see it again with friends!
