Love them all and excited about the next. Ignoring politics, this series of books and movies is thrilling.

Just saw the fifth (new) Bourne movie. Loved the first 4, thought this one was pretty stale rehash of the previous ones.

Lots of action, but no sense of real urgency. Why do they have to keep killing of his girlfriends? Its an overdone cliche in the ones that have Damon as the lead man.

Now I enjoyed the last "spy movie" with the character "Jack Ryan" in it... with Keira Knightley and the new Captain Kirk, and Kevin Costner... but this most recent movie by Damon... the script does not have me caring for him or his motivations for doing what he does.

It is just TOO dang busy.

It is full of action and things that go boom... but I have NO sense of danger in the plot. I had NO suspension of disbelief. I just don't care about the character at all, in this one.

And killing julia? what is up with that? I wanted to vest in the characters or the plot... but it just was not there for me. Whatever "it" is... Anybody else have an opinion on this one??? I thought it under-performed.

I guess I am waiting for the new "jack reacher" movie now... as the "expected" Bourne, failed to excite and engage...
