The "conversation face to face" line NEVER gets old. Every time he does stuff like that makes me indescribably happy. Effortless competence. It's fun to watch people being really, really good at their jobs.
it's stupid and immersion breaking. bourne would never be foolish enough to needlessly give away his position like that. he nearly got killed over it and he could have just slipped in and out without anyone ever knowing.
I love that he said the same words that was spoken to him in the first film. Nikki smiling at the end when the news reported Bourne's body as missing was such a cool ending. 😊
Shows how he has come full circle. He owns the choice he made to join Treadstone, but regrets selling his soul to the program. Uses the dying words of the operative he killed in the first film to honor his memory, and in a way implore the man about to shoot him to question his own actions and not be a mindless government tool, fully expecting that he himself will be killed in that moment. Powerful stuff.
Fun Easter egg is if you now go back to the ending of the first movie you see that immediately after reporting that Trwadstone was shut down they cheerfully announce "Blackbriar! Great new program!"
@Country of the Blind - the "easter egg" is that I have to travel through that station every day on my way to work, to a near by hospital :) It was the same with Tomb Rider movie (2018, not the one with Angelina), when she was running through the city, and man... the places that she was running through... I had a lunch time every day on some of those locations, benches, streets and so on. In fact, she was running through one place that I had a lunch time every day, with my co-workers (literally 30 seconds walk from the main office). Talk about "easter egg" ;)
'Bourne Ultimatum' is up there with 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' as one of the best thirds in a trilogy/one of the greatest action films of all time.
The end song for all three of these movies is just a Chefs kiss! It fits every film in just the right way and punctuates who Bourne is in the only way.
I think Extreme Ways may have been remixed for Jason Bourne, I remember it sounding darker, grittier, and liking the change.. EDIT: Moby remixed his own song for the 2016 release, I consider it the definitive version. Has a darker vibe, brings with it a harder edge, I guess because after all, Bourne is becoming an old man after so many years as an exiled operative.. Beware old men in a profession where men die Young. He's more deadly than ever.
Scott Glenn was CIA director Jack Crawford in silence of the lambs, he's also a submarine captain in the hunt for red October. He plays Creasy in the original Man on fire movie that Denzel would later go on to play and he's also in Training day. Great actor.
This is the pinnacle of these types of movies and something that set a standard Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible movies and the James Bond franchise has had to follow in order to catch up. The fight scene in Tangier is possibly the best ever scene of its kind and the energy, intensity and physicality throughout the film has, in my view, never been matched by any other film before or since. Only the John Wick films have recently come close. I enjoyed your reaction to the movie and agreed with a lot you said!
I know I’m commenting quite late, but yes I agree. I would even venture to say that Damon’s Bourne is the epitome of great, great intelligence mixed with potentially some of the best close quarter combat I’ve ever seen. Wick, to me, is the greatest use of “gun fu” ever put on film, especially with the tactical gun training that Keanu went through to do the wide angle long action sequences. The only other franchise I’d add that relatively competes is The Equalizer series. Denzel’s portrayal of Robert McCall as a former special ops guy is really great. He uses his somewhat small surroundings to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible, even timing himself trying to hit certain marks.
Please watch Legacy too, it really expands on the 'Bourne universe' and the cast is great with Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton. Also, Jeremy Renner did all of his own stunts in the movie which is pretty bad-ass.
Got sucked into it as a "Damon/Greengrass" loyalist and hating it's existence. Ended up leaving really liking the movie a ton, just wishing they had scrapped it being a "Bourne" spinoff because everything else worked really well as is. After the reboot and continued nonsense, Legacy, all that is left to criticize is "there's a really wonky CG shot a couple times". Trilogy is bulletproof is legit a classic now, and Legacy is a great tie in one off. You can feel just fine dropping the whole IP afterwards/apart.
Also, it has a fantastic 'asset' - Rachel Weisz!! Yeah, the weak sickly child is Jason Bourne. It has some good stuff in it but all the faffing around in the Isle of Dogs is - unsatisfactory.
I remember taking a day off from work to go see this movie when it opened. Having loved the first two I could not wait to see how the story continued. I agree with Thomas about the roof chase scene being one of the best chase scenes ever. But the moment that really made me go "OMG" is when you realize halfway through the movie that everything you have seen so far takes place in between the last two scenes of The Bourne Supremacy.
Read the first three books, guys. It's a totally different experience. They are sooooo good, especially Supremacy, and really the only similarities are their names and the fact that he has amnesia.
For that chase in Morocco where Bourne leaps from one building to another building through a window, the DVD has a featurette about stunts in the film where they explain how they did that. I didn't realize it the first time I watched the film, but as Bourne makes the jump the camera literally makes the same jump and follows him into the other building. There was a cameraperson (probably a stuntperson) with a camera attached to them who made the same jump, only seconds behind Damon. It's really impressive when you realize how they did that.
@BodyBeats242 From Wikipedia: "A stunt performer, often called a stuntman or stuntwoman and occasionally stuntperson or stunt-person, is a trained professional who performs daring acts, often as a career." You might want to join the rest of us in the 21st century where every job is not done by a man.
@BodyBeats242 Oh, so you're one of those people who don't believe anything on Wikipedia because it's editable by users. Ok then. Let's look up stuntperson on Meriam Webster - a definitive dictionary source. Oh look, it defines "stuntperson" as "a person who doubles for an actor during the filming of stunts and dangerous scenes : a stuntman or stuntwoman" You get an F for your effort and an F- for the result. Try harder next time. Or just try at all. 🤣
The way this one ends...they GOT ME so badly my first time! When He is "seemingly" shot off of that roof top and falls into the water, I literally didn't know what to think...even I was like, "WTF, Did Bourne really just die?!?" Then the News Broadcast mentions that His Body has yet to be recovered, and then the His Music kicks in, and I just started laughing! "Goddamnit Bourne, You Lucky S.O.B.!!!" 😂
I always enjoy the scene where they say: We're going to do what we failed to do in the last movie, and also in the movie before that. And this time it's gonna work out different...
I liked Bourne Legacy too... It happens around the same time in the timeline as Bourne Ultimatum, but in different parts of the world. There is a chase scene is Manila, that scene alone is the deal maker.
@@Sainte305 Bourne was Treadstone - best of the best before program, Aaron Cross (Renner) was Blackbriar - advanced project that doesn't required highly skilled soldiers / agent
@@PatrykWalczuk nah, you wrong. Aaron Cross was Operation Outcome, not Blackbriar. The only agent we saw from Blackbriar was the one trying to kill Bourne in Ultimatum, but ended up letting him go.
Paddy Considine [ Ross the reporter ] also played one of the Andy's in 'Hot Fuzz,' and one of the friends in 'The World's End,' [ the 3rd Cornetto film ] plus Viserys in 'House of the Dragon.' Check him out in 2004's 'Dead Man's Shoes,' the role that got him ''noticed.''
I love the Before Trilogy! It's an incredible and intimate journey between two people meeting, reconnecting, and evolving. The character building from the characters having a long-lasting conversation while walking through their setting feels natural, and it's engaging. I love that the story moves through dialogue and the chemistry between the characters. It feels real. I’d love a reaction to this trilogy!
Jason Bourne was good but not 2 and 3 good and Legacy with Jeremy Renner is really good. Didn't think so the first time watching but every time after I like it more and more. Right up there with supremacy/ultimatum
Great reactions to an amazing trilogy. About the other two movies... I remember Matt Damon in press interviews when Ultimatum was released being asked about a 4th film. He laughed and said something like "What would we call it, 'The Bourne Redundancy' ? There's no reason for it, this feels like a good place to end". In 2007 it struck me as one of _the_ most self-aware, grounded things an actor has ever said in interview. Let's just say that after seeing 'Jason Bourne' that opinion did not change :). (the _actual_ 4th movie, the Bourne-less 'The Bourne Legacy', is _easily_ the weakest of the series IMO)
I ranked them Supremacy, Ultimatum, Identity, Legacy, Bourne. 1 and 2 are interchangeable from my perspective. Legacy….I didn’t like it until I saw it again, and each time I watch it I love it more. Not enough to dethrone Identity for 3rd, but it’s a LOT closer to Identity than the 5th.
This one is my favorite as well! It’s incredibly entertaining and intense, and the fight scenes and chase scenes are on another level! So glad to see you guys react to and enjoy this awesome trilogy 😊
It's great that they can do "wife's first time watching" reactions where you get that mix of someone who has seen (and usually loves) the movie and someone who is reacting to it completely fresh. And you get movies on the channel that most other reactors have probably already seen so couldn't do a true 'first time' reaction to. It works great.
LOL, "That skinny, old man at the top". How funny. I guess I just assumed you would've recognized Scott Glenn from his roles in The Hunt For Red October, Urban Cowboy & a ton of other characters he's played, but I have to remember I'm an old man now.
I'd like to see a reaction to the Bourne legacy, it ties into this one and then goes and does it's own thing. I've always enjoyed it , and hoped for Bourne vs cross style sequel.
I rally appreciated how you enjoyed how the movies overlap. Chase scene in Morocco was awesome. Super intelligent, action packed, great cinematography, writing, and performances. Great Review!
I like the first movie best as Jason is trying to remember who he is and is surprised by his own abilities. Also the love angle was strongest in that movie. I'm with Samantha in that I wish Marie wouldn't have been killed so early in the second movie.
The Bourne Legacy is worth a watch. Imagine a cross between the first Bourne movie and a Tom Clancy movie from the '80s. I prefer Legacy to the Greengrass shaky cam movies, although there are certainly some sequences in those films that are excellent.
I’m on the other side, I’m not advocating shaky cans in all movies but it absolutely works for Bourne. This is a man on the run and the non perfect cams feed into that hectic, chaotic, always on the move style. In my humble opinion that is.
@TBR Schmitt Glad you guys liked this, other then the non Matt films this was a franchise I really think was the best since Bond until the John Wick films. You and Samantha really had a good discussion on what each of you liked and why. Always a Pleasure :)
I feel that the next movie "The Bourne Legacy" is very underappreciated. Many people don't care for it simply because Matt Damon is not in it. But I like that the assassin program is looked at from a different perspective. Jeremy Renner is the main character, and it's one of my favorite performances from him. There's also a great deal of supporting actors that are also very good: Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz and Oscar Isaac chiefly. Some terrific action sequences as well. The director is Tony Gilroy, who helped make the Star Wars movie "Rogue One" so awesome during its reshoots.
YES, the best action trilogy, and one of the few BluRays I own. All 5 of the movies are great, but Ultimatum is the best of them. Some talk down about the Legacy movie but is a good film too. You can't go wrong with any of them, so continue with the last 2 in the series.
If you love incredibly realistic fight sequences involving one agent versus several others, then try Atomic Blonde, where Charlize Theron has such a fight in one continuous take that lasts over 9 minutes.
You should wrap it up by watching Jason Bourne- It continues his story from this point (like a 4th and final movie) It has the same director, and Julia Stiles is in it as well :)
I do hope you watch "The Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner. It follows the same lines, except all the agents like Bourne are to be eliminated. Great action like the Damon movies.
Highly Recommended Movies 1. Disclosure - Michael Douglas 2. The Day the Earth Stood Still - 1951 3. JFk - Oliver Stone - Dir. 4. Dolores Claiborne - Kathy Bates 5. Body Heat - William Hurt
Like I've put in the previous two films, this is our "go to" film... to make us amped...like a comfort film. The intricate nature of the story and how the movies are SO tied to each other, like you've said. We've watched the one with Jeremy Renner...and it didn't work for us. The reason why Matt Damon didn't come back to the franchise...is because they didn't want to work with Paul Greengrass...who directed the second and third movies. He said he'd come back WHEN Paul Greengrass came back. SO, the movie is what it is. The last movie, with Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon went through rewrites...plus one trailer showed a scene one way...and in the movie it was different...and people really didn't like what happened. We have NOT seen that one yet. So, this is months later, but from Marie and I, we'd love to see your reaction to the Bourne movie with Jeremy Renner and then the last one. We ALL love the trilogy, but it would be interesting to see IF your view of the Jeremy Renner movie hits the same way as it did with us...and then we'd get the LAST Bourne movie to watch it, THEN watch your reaction. SO, hopefully you haven't yet watched these two films without filming it. We've come this far, lets continue the entire way. That is our hope. Talk to you, later.
Jason Bourne's character brings to mind (at least to me) the character "Tristan" played by Brad Pitt in "Legends Of The Fall". Quote from the movie, "He was a rock that they broke themselves against". If you haven't seen that movie, you should.
There was a brief moment where you saw Jason jumping a wall that had broken glass on top and you questioned what it was for. In my anecdotal experience from being in parts of the middle east, it was used as a deterrent from climbing over the wall, like barbed wire on top of a fence.
The next movie without Jason fills in details of why Jason is so smart and agile from another character's point of view. Also a cool movie. Then the final movie wraps up the storyline of the 1st three movies .. a must watch. Fantastic. Please watch both.. they are worth your time!
Tom M: While The Bourne Legacy wasn't 'my' favorite, it had so much going for it! It was so intense throughout and I really enjoyed it, and how they expanded the world of elite assassins. I didn't understand the negativity concerning this excellent movie, but perhaps the audience was expecting to see Matt Damon. As far as the last film with Matt Damon, it was probably the weakest of the five films, yet I did enjoyed it and it told a very important nugget that most people were probably wondering about (I know I was wondering). And that is why David Webb volunteered in the first place. The last movies shows why.
The skinny old guy villain comes back in the last (5th) movie, if you want to know how the story ends, you should watch that too. The fourth movie is optional as it doesn't really directly link to the rest of the movies.
Fine reaction to complete the trilogy. 👍 I guess now you need to check out the remaining two: "The Bourne Legacy" and "Jason Bourne." And please allocate some time for "Ronin" with Robert De Niro and Jean Reno. 😊
I love that they wove in the phone call from the last movie and that they hinted at Blackbriar at the end of the first film! These movies do great setup and payoff!
I really like Legacy, Renner is great in it as is Rachel Weisz. Plus it doesn't try to make itself a copy of the first three movies. It does it's own thing in a really cool way but you can still see how it does all tie together. And little to no shaky cam is a big plus imo.
I refused to watch "The Bourne Legacy" for years because no Jason Bourne. One night there was nothing else LOL. Great film, and my first time discovering Jeremy Renner. Loved it. AND it tells us much more about the inner workings of these guys.
Bourne Legacy is a spin off or expansion of the Bourne universe starring Jeremy Renner that takes place during the later part of this movie. The movie Jason Bourne movie is number 4 in the series.
Good lord....Your wife Samantha is on point with dissecting the Storyline.....Outstanding....I love both of your reactions....Keep up the great work....
Yes, as a German viewer it was kinda funny, seeing Daniel Brühl walking into the movie shortly after the beginning and them having no reaction at all. Back at the time he had been one of the most famous and popular young movie actors inside Germany for a couple years already, but I don't think there was any notable international movie production on his resumee yet (and while at least the German "Goodbye Lenin!" had been pretty successful in Europe, I believe it was probably less noted in the US). Tarantino and Marvel came later of course!
@TBRSchmitt the fourth one is not with Jason Bourne but with another operative who was also trained like him but being the next batch (stage), these operatives were also enhanced, its not a bad movie, the fifth one is with Jason Bourne but not as good as the three previous ones
Both 'The Bourne Legacy' and 'Jason Bourne' are worth watching. The Bourne Legacy shows some of the other programs under the same umbrella as Treadstone and Blackbriar and stars Jeremy Renner as agent Aaron Cross. Its pretty intense at times and is a good film if you get past it not being Bourne himself. Then Jason Bourne progresses things further and you learn everything about how he ends up in the CIA as an operative in the first place...there is a lot more to the story than we get in the original trilogy and really weaves the tapestry of the story together to form a much more complete picture.
I just finished watching your reactions to The Silence of the Lambs again...love it. You touched on the sequels. My request would be the origin story Hannibal Rising. Please watch. Thanks you guys. Hope you're doing well.
The "conversation face to face" line NEVER gets old. Every time he does stuff like that makes me indescribably happy. Effortless competence. It's fun to watch people being really, really good at their jobs.
it's stupid and immersion breaking. bourne would never be foolish enough to needlessly give away his position like that. he nearly got killed over it and he could have just slipped in and out without anyone ever knowing.
Bourne/Webb is like, "Yeah, I'm taking a big, steaming dump on your desk right now. And there's nothing you can do about it.✌️"
I love that he said the same words that was spoken to him in the first film. Nikki smiling at the end when the news reported Bourne's body as missing was such a cool ending. 😊

'Bourne Ultimatum' is up there with 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' as one of the best thirds in a trilogy/one of the greatest action films of all time.
And BTTF3!
They did Bourne part 4 & 5
There's a Indiana Jones 4 from 2008 and Indiana Jones 5 is coming this year
It’s the greatest of all time beating Die Hard at the top.
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King?
A get it, but imo Crusaders of the lost Ark is better movie than the Last Crusade.
The end song for all three of these movies is just a Chefs kiss!
It fits every film in just the right way and punctuates who Bourne is in the only way.

Best part is when Samantha says "You piece of shit," when Noah and his boss decide to frame Pam if Blackbriar is exposed. Laughed hard.
I saw this in a packed theatre. When the music started and Bourne swam away, the whole theatre clapped and cheered in a roar!
Scott Glenn was CIA director Jack Crawford in silence of the lambs, he's also a submarine captain in the hunt for red October. He plays Creasy in the original Man on fire movie that Denzel would later go on to play and he's also in Training day. Great actor.

I absolutely love 'Hot Fuzz'. Everytime I watch it I see something new I didn't see before. So many connections in that movie...it's brilliant.
One of the best trilogies out there.
This trilogy is fantastic for sure. But I hope you will react to The Bourne legacy and Jason Bourne. I think both are really good movies as well.
Love the reaction. Another great trilogy you should do is “before sunrise, before sunset and before midnight” with Ethan hawke and Julie delpy

The bar is pretty high when trained agents is referred to as "just people" compared to the assets.
It took me a while to recognize David Strathairn in the Expanse. Didn't expected that kind of role of him. Cudos.

The Bourne Legacy is worth a watch. Imagine a cross between the first Bourne movie and a Tom Clancy movie from the '80s. I prefer Legacy to the Greengrass shaky cam movies, although there are certainly some sequences in those films that are excellent.
I’m on the other side, I’m not advocating shaky cans in all movies but it absolutely works for Bourne. This is a man on the run and the non perfect cams feed into that hectic, chaotic, always on the move style. In my humble opinion that is.
Jason Bourne 2016 explains a lot more about his father and to help explain how everything started
This is my favorite one out of the trilogy.
@TBR Schmitt Glad you guys liked this, other then the non Matt films this was a franchise I really think was the best since Bond until the John Wick films. You and Samantha really had a good discussion on what each of you liked and why. Always a Pleasure :)
I feel that the next movie "The Bourne Legacy" is very underappreciated. Many people don't care for it simply because Matt Damon is not in it. But I like that the assassin program is looked at from a different perspective. Jeremy Renner is the main character, and it's one of my favorite performances from him. There's also a great deal of supporting actors that are also very good: Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz and Oscar Isaac chiefly. Some terrific action sequences as well. The director is Tony Gilroy, who helped make the Star Wars movie "Rogue One" so awesome during its reshoots.
YES, the best action trilogy, and one of the few BluRays I own. All 5 of the movies are great, but Ultimatum is the best of them. Some talk down about the Legacy movie but is a good film too. You can't go wrong with any of them, so continue with the last 2 in the series.
The Best Action Movie I ever Watched hands Down
If you love incredibly realistic fight sequences involving one agent versus several others, then try Atomic Blonde, where Charlize Theron has such a fight in one continuous take that lasts over 9 minutes.
I also enjoy how this movie picks up BEFORE the ending of the previous movie, so that the previous ending comes in the middle of this one.
If the word Asset was removed from this movie, it would only be 30 minutes long😂😂😂😂
_The Bourne Ultimatum_ is editor Christopher Tellefsen’s magnum opus. So glad he won his Oscar for it. ^_^
You should wrap it up by watching Jason Bourne- It continues his story from this point (like a 4th and final movie) It has the same director, and Julia Stiles is in it as well :)
Everytime Nikki sees Bourne show up I imagine her inner monologue saying, “ Oh, goddammit””
I do hope you watch "The Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner. It follows the same lines, except all the agents like Bourne are to be eliminated. Great action like the Damon movies.
Albert Finney is great.
Fantastic job n Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead as Phillip Seymour-Hoffman and Ethan Hawke’s dad.
your guys' after-film-talks are the BEST-best!

Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both have a nice day
Like I've put in the previous two films, this is our "go to" film... to make us amped...like a comfort film. The intricate nature of the story and how the movies are SO tied to each other, like you've said.
We've watched the one with Jeremy Renner...and it didn't work for us. The reason why Matt Damon didn't come back to the franchise...is because they didn't want to work with Paul Greengrass...who directed the second and third movies. He said he'd come back WHEN Paul Greengrass came back.
SO, the movie is what it is.
The last movie, with Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon went through rewrites...plus one trailer showed a scene one way...and in the movie it was different...and people really didn't like what happened. We have NOT seen that one yet.
So, this is months later, but from Marie and I, we'd love to see your reaction to the Bourne movie with Jeremy Renner and then the last one. We ALL love the trilogy, but it would be interesting to see IF your view of the Jeremy Renner movie hits the same way as it did with us...and then we'd get the LAST Bourne movie to watch it, THEN watch your reaction.
SO, hopefully you haven't yet watched these two films without filming it. We've come this far, lets continue the entire way.
That is our hope. Talk to you, later.
The one with Jeremy Renner adds a lot to the story.
Jason Bourne's character brings to mind (at least to me) the character "Tristan" played by Brad Pitt in "Legends Of The Fall". Quote from the movie, "He was a rock that they broke themselves against". If you haven't seen that movie, you should.
Big Bourne fan here. Thanks for the upload ❤️❤️
There was a brief moment where you saw Jason jumping a wall that had broken glass on top and you questioned what it was for. In my anecdotal experience from being in parts of the middle east, it was used as a deterrent from climbing over the wall, like barbed wire on top of a fence.
I do love the 4th one as well though, which explains the program Bourne was on.
Such a great action sequence with Paddy Considine the Bourne Buzz
The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiss is incredible. It was the movie following the one you just watched
The next movie without Jason fills in details of why Jason is so smart and agile from another character's point of view. Also a cool movie. Then the final movie wraps up the storyline of the 1st three movies .. a must watch. Fantastic. Please watch both.. they are worth your time!
17:03 "Oh... that's the bomb? Oh no! Oh shit!"
The Bourne Legacy was my favorite. So you have more to look forward to.
Tom M: While The Bourne Legacy wasn't 'my' favorite, it had so much going for it! It was so intense throughout and I really enjoyed it, and how they expanded the world of elite assassins. I didn't understand the negativity concerning this excellent movie, but perhaps the audience was expecting to see Matt Damon. As far as the last film with Matt Damon, it was probably the weakest of the five films, yet I did enjoyed it and it told a very important nugget that most people were probably wondering about (I know I was wondering). And that is why David Webb volunteered in the first place. The last movies shows why.
24:24 people in the theater laughed and applauded at that moment.
I love all the Bourne movies.
I think you would enjoy another spy action movie, Atomic Blond (2017).
The skinny old guy villain comes back in the last (5th) movie, if you want to know how the story ends, you should watch that too. The fourth movie is optional as it doesn't really directly link to the rest of the movies.
I LOVE the reporter in the subway scene!!! ❤❤
I knew you would like this one. It's my favorite of the Bourne movies too. Thanks again guys, you're the best, love your reactions.
Glass in cement to top walls is common in many countries for people who can't afford Concertina wire.
Only plothole was Pamela said 4/15/71 as his birthday in Supremacy but the writers retconned it to be a code instead.
This is banger for sure. It's so realistic. Bourne is back on his A game and I'm loving it 👏
I spotted King Viserys (Paddy Considine) and Baron Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) in this movie.
“He didnt fall very well” 😂
Nice cover…. Smooth. 😅
Fine reaction to complete the trilogy. 👍 I guess now you need to check out the remaining two: "The Bourne Legacy" and "Jason Bourne." And please allocate some time for "Ronin" with Robert De Niro and Jean Reno. 😊
I hope you will react to The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner. Very under rated in my opinion.
I love that they wove in the phone call from the last movie and that they hinted at Blackbriar at the end of the first film! These movies do great setup and payoff!
I really like Legacy, Renner is great in it as is Rachel Weisz. Plus it doesn't try to make itself a copy of the first three movies. It does it's own thing in a really cool way but you can still see how it does all tie together. And little to no shaky cam is a big plus imo.
I love this one as well. I also like how the ending echoes the beginning of the first one.
This one was my favorite as well. A great conclusion of the series.
Great review / reaction you two!
Again, as we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe!
Best Bourne film out of all the sequels!
I've been to Morocco a couple of times-the glass embedded in the walls is to help keep pigeons away.
Love the trilogy yet Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weiss are excellent in the next one too. Well worth a watch.
I refused to watch "The Bourne Legacy" for years because no Jason Bourne. One night there was nothing else LOL. Great film, and my first time discovering Jeremy Renner. Loved it. AND it tells us much more about the inner workings of these guys.
Bourne Legacy is a spin off or expansion of the Bourne universe starring Jeremy Renner that takes place during the later part of this movie. The movie Jason Bourne movie is number 4 in the series.
Good lord....Your wife Samantha is on point with dissecting the Storyline.....Outstanding....I love both of your reactions....Keep up the great work....
Thanks guys
You should definitely do the last two
If you guys want another Bourne esque thriller I recommend The International 2009 with Clive Owen (the sniper from the first movie)
The Guardian journalist is Paddy Considine, the king in House of the Dragon, and his dead girlfriend's brother is Daniel Bruhl, aka Zemo from the MCU.
Okay, thought that was Bruhl. I like watching older movies again and going “wait, is that…?”
Yes, as a German viewer it was kinda funny, seeing Daniel Brühl walking into the movie shortly after the beginning and them having no reaction at all. Back at the time he had been one of the most famous and popular young movie actors inside Germany for a couple years already, but I don't think there was any notable international movie production on his resumee yet (and while at least the German "Goodbye Lenin!" had been pretty successful in Europe, I believe it was probably less noted in the US). Tarantino and Marvel came later of course!
@TBRSchmitt the fourth one is not with Jason Bourne but with another operative who was also trained like him but being the next
batch (stage), these operatives were also enhanced, its not a bad movie, the fifth one is with Jason Bourne but not as good as the three previous ones
Both 'The Bourne Legacy' and 'Jason Bourne' are worth watching. The Bourne Legacy shows some of the other programs under the same umbrella as Treadstone and Blackbriar and stars Jeremy Renner as agent Aaron Cross. Its pretty intense at times and is a good film if you get past it not being Bourne himself. Then Jason Bourne progresses things further and you learn everything about how he ends up in the CIA as an operative in the first place...there is a lot more to the story than we get in the original trilogy and really weaves the tapestry of the story together to form a much more complete picture.
“Cinema with Step Reaction Channels: Favorite to Least Favorite
1. Ultimatum 2.Legacy
3. Supremacy 4.Identity
5. Jason Bourne”
I just finished watching your reactions to The Silence of the Lambs again...love it. You touched on the sequels. My request would be the origin story Hannibal Rising. Please watch. Thanks you guys. Hope you're doing well.
Definitely watch the next 2. The Renner one is a bit of a prequel and doesn't interfere with the Bourne trilogy.
