The Bourne Legacy

[hairlesswookiee]

I actually like this movie.

 

[The Ween]

I thought this was alright but, while I thought it seemd a bit short and would have been up for a longer film, I wouldn't be sad to hear them say they wouldn't continue the franchise.
I think that whatever the Bourne films had, this movie seemed to lack. Also thought the "office stuff" with Norton and his team wasn't nearly as good as the Conklin/Abbot from Identity and the Landy/Abbot from Supremacy.

Day 1 BR purchase when it comes out though? Of course

I thought it was short too, but it actually ran 135 minutes.

some people thought it was a bit long and everyone, or alot of people, seemed to think it ended abruptly.

watched Identity and Supremacy last week and I think my favorite fight scene is the one from Supremacy with Marton Csokas when Bourne is in Berlin.

didn't care for the assassin the used in Legacy. liked him in Predators but not here. I think that female agent at Rachel's house would have made a better foe because I really ended up disliking her character

oh yeah and is Blackbriar a program or a person? I always thought it was a program similar to Treadstone but in Legacy, I heard a line that made me think maybe it was a person.

I'm pretty sure it's a program.

Found it:

Blackbriar is the successor to Treadstone. A covert training operation, Blackbriar is described by Noah Vosen (Strathairn) as the “umbrella program” for all of the CIA’s black-ops missions.

Wow!!! How on earth did you find that?!?!? Hehehe I did do a search on imdb to see if a character page would come up and I checked credits on supremacy so I did look but you looked better than I did

 

[TOE]

Chase scene at the end was too short. Needed at least 10 more minutes or more.

 

[quadcent]

Still after reading all the negative snipes, i believe this is still an easy 8/10

wth can't people just go to a movie to enjoy it, instead it seems that everyone has to compare it to another movie.

 

[civiclx]

Location is a big thing for me and I would have really liked to have seen them go to Europe.
And what exactly were they there for? Too much science mumbo jumbo

The drugs that they were giving the agents to make them sharper, stronger, etc.

Thought it was good. Not great but it was entertaining.

Kinda interesting the twists about the programs.

Not shocked there are haters here either.

Of course people will compare it to the previous movies in the series, and it's just not even close to those. And as movie on its own it's pretty bad as well.

It's almost impossible not to compare it to the other movies. There's a constant reminder not only in the title of the movie, but is repeatedly mentioned throughout the movie as the Bourne story is currently unfolding at the same time.

Spoiler

Kind of stinks what they did with Pam Landy at the end of this movie as I liked her character. Hopefully Cross can help her out in the next movie.

 

[grphyx1]

And so publicly too hairlesswookiee. good point

I guess this is what I should've said.

Spoiler

I also thought it was suspect that Ed Norton's character is trying to eliminate all the "participants" and clean up the loose ends, but they decide it's a good idea to activate an agent from yet another one of the programs to send after him.

I liked the part where Norton's character was informed that Bourne was in NY yet it didn't actually have anything to do with the story

I kind of get this, look at how the upper level guys handle everything why would she be treated different.

Not sure it was a spoiler but erroring on the safe side.

Definitely. The way way the "heads" have been dealt with in an effort to protect the program(s) as well as the people directly above them I'm just surprised she isn't dead yet. But that might come in the next movie.

UGH!

The question still strongly remains, where were all of these men when Mel Gibson was spewing his racial epithets and abusing women, verbally and physically. The list is endless when it comes to the men that need a "firm talking to." Of course, it is always easier to confront women than it is men. Tiger Woods who was unfaithful to his wife with many mistresses, Jessie James, who cheated on actress, Sandra Bullock, rap artists that degrade women, politicians who are anti-women's rights and humiliate their families through infidelities, all need to be called out. Hamm, Craig, and Renner are not heroes because they chastise women. Instead, they may run the risk of being seen as the total antithesis of what they may have wanted to appear as. . .cowardly.


How much bravado does it take to confront women--the second most vulnerable species?

[hairlesswookiee]

Really? That's a bit of a stretch. Didn't seem like Renner chastised women, just the Kardashians. Not sure why that means he's cowardly either because I'm certain he'd probably say it to their faces as well.

And she threw out the race card. Oh I so want to comment but I'm so afraid of coming off the fool.

Comparing what Renner, or the others, said to Mel Gibson's rant is just unbelieveable.

If you do a search for Jeremy Renner then click news, it's all over what he said. My goodness, are these stupid people that important?
