I saw one of the Bourne movies and liked it. Trouble is, because they are all so similarly named, I don’t know which one I saw, so I’ll never see the others. I hate renting the same movie twice.

I've seen all three, but there's a law of diminishing returns. By the end of the third one, I didn't want to see any more ever again. The MTV-like editing and fight and chase scenes that are all just quick cuts of close-ups of chins and hands on gear shifts, etc., start to get old after awhile. You start to long for a fight where you actually see someone getting hit, or a chase scene where you can tell who the hell is chasing whom. Eventually, you realize that the director is substituting flurries of cuts for actual action. And I really hate the way that's infected other movies, like the 007 series.
