Transformers rocks! Seen it twice already lol
Who cares about hollywood and their junk? you know who falls for hollywood? THE NAIVE!!!!! Have to say even the Simpsons, BARF BARF BARF!!!!!! NO talent actors, Garbage movie plots if they even ever realy have one, etc...etc... we got to quit wasting our money with this junk!!!!!
Transformers rocks?, come on dude lets get REAL!
It is an “exciting film” - but so are most car chase films especially Bullet with Steve McQueen. The politics of Bourne are JUST AWFUL - ABSOLUTELY AWFUL - and un American and now, I see, anti- Semitic. Somebody had better point that out to Matt “Ben Affleck’s best friend” Damon. Shame on him.
I saw it. O’Reilly got it right.
As the Damon character in Team America, said, “Matt Damon”.
Bill O’Reilly needs to get a life. I love the Bourne movies and I don’t care if Matt Damon is a lib. He’s a great actor.
Thank You, thank you, thank you!!!! I have read all three Bourne books many times over and I thought the first movie, ‘based on a book by Robert Ludlum’ meant that the screenwriter’s keyboard was sitting on a copy of the book. The second movie was a great action flick as long as you understood that Jason Bourne was just a coincidence of a name choice; nothing like the book. And the third book and movie are even more different!
I’m sorry to be so emphatic, usually I get flamed for saying how different the books are from the Matt Damon movies. Personally I liked the Richard Chamberlain/Jaclyn Smith movie version of Bourne Identidy.
I loved the movie; didn’t see it on tv though, rented it at Hollywood Video.
About half the soundtrack rocks too! hehe

Thanks for the review—I trust Freepers lots more than Bill O’R!
You are welcome!
I used to read a lot of Ludlum, and considered The Bourne Identity kind of his peak performance. When I saw the first Bourne movie, (the same title as the book) all I saw was character and motive sacrificed to action and special effects.
Ludlum is good at what he does, and Hollywood is good at what they do. Never the twain shall meet.
Pardon me for asking. But Isn’t the CIA now run by a bunch of limolibs nowadays? Am I wrong
And yet the corporate media had no problems with President Bill Clinton receiving oral pleasure from an unpaid intern without proper security clearance while he deployed troops on a phone call.
Although it's only the black ops, and the brainwashing, that are treated negatively, there is that scene where the Director of Operations won't take the phone call, thus washing his hands of killing Bourne, so the evil is portrayed as going all the way to the top--of the CIA, anyway.
In spite of all that, I loved this movie. It was fast and just clear enough, not overly clear to the point where you feel condescended to. I stayed to clap for the editor, and then for the stunt men. Technically, it was just about the best movie I have seen (although I have to admit I am far from a constant moviegoer; used to be).
By the way, there is one scene where Bourne uses European anti-Americanism in his tactics: He phones the Madrid police and gets them to come an foil the CIA---by saying it's Americans! A bit of irony that shows the moviemaker's hand?
My only interest in this movie would be Julia Stiles... My intrest is inversely proportional to the amount of clothing she wears...

The sad thing is that Stiles is too stupid to research the fact that O'Reilly supports "reasonable" gun control.
Mark
It was anti-American. Yes, it was exciting - so was the Bruce Willis movie, Live Free or Die Hard and that movie had some HEROIC AMERICANS instead of the corrupt crew of Bourne.
