[films] The Bourne Triology
Had to make a thread. These are possibly the best movies ever made.
It consists of
*The Bourne Identity
*The Bourne Supremacy
*The Bourne Ultimatum
Discuss!
And the Bourne Legacy has been announced for 2012! YAY!

Liman did a fairly good job with the first film, but Greengrass ruined the direction in the latter two.

I view it the exact opposite. I'm a huge fan of Greengrass' work on the second two Bournes. There's something about his frenetic style. I hate shaky cam but there's a method to his madness I find that really lets the "shaky cam" aesthetic work.
Anywho, it's sadly not a Trilogy anymore. Hollywood won't let a good thing die & has put "The Bourne Legacy" into production WITHOUT Matt Damon. I don't remember if it's a prequel, spinoff, or if Jason Bourne is even going to be in the film at all.
All that comes to mind is Jeremy Renner is playing the lead role & continues to misuse his good will earned from "The Hurt Locker".

@ Oz: LOLWUT (as usual..)
I thought parts 1 and 2 weren't too impressive and a bit boring, while part 3 was better by miles and very enjoyable - a great ending to the series. The shaky cam didn't bother me to be honest, and some of the scenes were very clever and fun to watch (I loved that scene where Jason guides that newspaper guy through a train station).
Making a part 4 baffles me as well

The second film is quite nauseating thanks to the crazy sound design and bad cinematography. The third film is much more bearable, probably due to a more interesting screenplay.

^THIS, and relevant (you're welcome in advance)
I am interested in this upcoming movie though, hopefully the shaky cam will play a significantly reduced role
a big reason I liked the first film a lot was because of how realistic the action sequences felt

Or maybe your simple minds are just unable to see beyond the shaky cam.

Great films all of them. One of the rare ocassions where a trilogy was uniformly fantastic from installment to installment. Unfortunately, it looks like Hollywood will now ruin it with the new one coming up. Although there is good talent involved, the whole thing seems unnecessary because the third one ended the whole story perfectly IMO.

Re: [films] The Bourne Triology
Old thread but the only one I could find on the series so...
Trailer for the 5th film with Bourne returning after Legacy did poorly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4gJsKZvqE4
I just re watched the first 3 tonight for the first time since probably 09 or so. (Haven't seen Legacy but soon)
I was a bit distracted while watching the first so it felt way too slow (And I like slow build films so that is saying something), however I watched the 2nd & 3rd with no distraction and was strongly immersed and enjoyed them.
I absolutely adore Joan Allen as Pamela Landy (just watched Allen in The Contender also which she was inevitably great in)
The final fight on the farm with Bourne & Clive Owen in Identity was genuinely fantastic I will say.
With 5 it looks like Nickey Parsons who went rogue in Ultimatum has become something of a whistleblower and Bourne is protecting her.
In Ultimatum she implied they were lovers hence why she was the one to believe he had Amnesia after he did not recognize her at the end of Identity.
Also interested to see Tommy Lee Jones's connection to Bourne in this.

Re: [films] The Bourne Triology
Ok saw Legacy, was much much better then I had been led to believe. Absolutely on par with the other films in the franchise.
I had heard Renner's character was just a unlikable drug addict, and there is 1 moment at about 1 hour 3 minutes into the film where he demands Weisz tell him where the Chems are that I thought it might go that way, but after that scene is finished, him and Weisz quickly develop some good chemistry together and Renner stays likable. They spell out why he needs the Chems so it never came off as him just being a reckless addict.
Anyone else who has seen in have any opinions on Legacy?
