I saw “Jason Bourne.” Tedious in the extreme. Despite its giant and noisy car chases, the franchise has run out of gas.

Movies should be restricted to no more than 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Those that run 2 hours or more, I lose interest about 3/4 of the way through. As I watch, I think, ‘yeah, they could have cut that 5 minutes of nothingness out’ at several locations through the movie.

I recall one with Clooney (not one of my favorite actors, for sure, but I watched on DVD). Half of the movie was watching a vehile travel across the desert. Turn around and do the same. Again and again. I fast-forwarded and ended up with about 30 minutes of actual character engagement.

There is no realism in movies like the Bourne franchise. I live in Realville, and computer generated movies don’t rock it for me. And BTW, I’m enjoying this afternoon immensely.

Despite its giant and noisy car chases,... I've been a cerified automobile mechanic for over thirty years, and cars just don't behave that way in real life. Give me Bullitt.

Matt Damon wants full gun control over next no. He won’t do it if a gun is on the set or inn the movie. I like a liberal who stands up for his bullsh$t.

They should have either stuck to the books or changed the name. The Jason Bourne of the books was a guy who took on the persona of an assassin to lure out Carlos the Jackal.
