Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review There's no getting around it: there was simply no better summer blockbuster in 2007 than the astonishing IThe Bourne Ultimatum/I. P It's a film that defies expectations in many ways. Firstly, it's a third entry in a trilogy that by some distance in the best in an already-compelling franchise. Secondly, whenIThe Bourne Ultimatum/I kickstarts with a ferocious energy and pace, you sit there and rightly expect it not to keep the momentum going. But it does. And does it astonishingly well. Just witness the breathless sequence through Waterloo Station, convince yourself that the film has peaked then, then go and watch them top it later on in the movie. P The film itself has many trump cards, not least its leading man. Matt Damon fits the character of reluctant lead Jason Bourne perfectly, but the trick is to give him some excellent supporting players to work against. Thus, IThe Bourne Ultimatum/I also stars the excellent pair of David Straitharn and a returning Joan Allen, along with Albert Finney, Paddy Considine and Julia Stiles too. P But the hidden hero of IThe Bourne Ultimatum/I is director Paul Greengrass. Arguably one of the most interesting and talented directors working today (he was rightly Oscar-nominated for his haunting IUnited 93/I), Greengrass has fashioned a genuinely thrilling action thriller, that bursts with an energy and relentlessness that you simply have no right to expect. That he also managed to wrap up the story Jason Bourne's quest for his identity in the midst of it is all the more astonishing. P A terrific end to an already-impressive trilogy, there's little else ot say about IThe Bourne Ultimatum/I, which is simply a near flawless piece of blockbuster entertainment. Put simply: don't miss this movie. --ISimon Brew/I

Doyle (Ireland) 25 out of 27 found this review helpful Matt Damon was never on my list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum. br / br /If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits all the information you've gathered in 'Identity' and 'Supremacy' and we finally see the full picture of Jason Bourne's troubled past. br / br /The Bourne Ultimatum has a great plot and with fantastic action and fight sequences Ultimatum ranks as one of the best action movies of 2007. br / YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER END TO TWO BRILLIANT SPY FILMS September 10, 2007 stuart (MIDDLESBROUGH, ENGLAND) 86 out of 106 found this review helpful This has been one heck of a summer for Action films, and trilogies, some good, some not so good. Live Free or Die Hard still stands out as the best action film I have seen in years and yet now The Bourne Ultimatum comes along and once again blows me through the back of the theater. If you've followed this series from the first installment then you can understand the absolute desire to closure in the series but still keep that element of mystery and that is precisely what the Bourne film makers did including Paul Greengrass, who has this distinct and often talked about format for his films that really works for a film like Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum. He took over from Doug Liman (who stayed on board as executive producer for the latter films) and Greengrass flawlessly and perfectly picked up the story without missing a beat and followed through all the continuity, all the mystery and then packed a wallop with this final installment. His sporadic and crazed filming style (the constant shaking of the camera) works really well for Bourne because it's that kind of hectic and crazy action and it's not overdone to the point where you're desperately trying to see what's going on. Greengrass knows how to send the story in the direction he wants and then to unfold brilliant action scenes when necessary. br / br /Matt Damon is just down right brilliant as the quiet, intense, depressive Jason Bourne who has had everything taken from him and is now getting closer to ever to figuring out his identity. Bourne's brilliance is as top notch as ever and he's honed his skills beyond what they originally taught him so he's even more himself. Damon embraces that so well and performs this role with no ego, he's not Matt Damon impressing us all as Bourne, he IS Bourne and he is perfect at it pulling off the fighting, the killing, the eluding and still a very sympathetic character. Joan Allen returns from Supremacy as Pamela Landy, the anti-heroine for Bourne who wants to help him find his identity and uncover the truth of project Treadstone. Allen is appropriately intense for this role, and a great female lead to Damon's intense male role. I might even say she would do well in a bigger role but still her performance is great. Julia Stiles also returns as logistics agent Nicky Parsons. While never a big role in any of the three films, she's been a presence and her presence in this new installment opens up a new mystery in the Bourne history. Stiles is a terrific addition to the cast and the only one to return for all three films except Damon. Amazing character actor David Strathairn joins the cast as cold blooded head of the 'new' Treadstone Noah Vosen. Strathairn is an amazing follow up to the character of Alexander Conklin played by Chris Cooper who was an incredible nemesis for Bourne. Straithairn valiantly takes over that role and is amazing. Add in a supporting cast of the amazing Albert Finney (in a sadly very small role), Joey Ansah (in one of the most amazing fight scenes in movie history), and Colin Stinton. br / br /What is the best part of The Bourne Ultimatum? Easy. If the Bourne films have been anything...they've been story driven...one of the best, if not THEE best stories from an action film in history. Amnesia, love, killers, assassins, government agencies, a cover up...all of this has been heaped on in two movies and these films have been so story driven and they have done such an incredible job of doing this story that there isn't anything to do in Ultimatum but wrap everything up. The best part of that is it leaves it wide open for some of the most incredible action scenes, and absolute non stop action that will leave you completely breathless. A car chase that rivals any film, a brutal hand to hand fight that leaves your jaw dropped onto the floor, brilliant roof top escapes and gun fights, and constant chaos everywhere. I will only say one minor flaw was I thought one particular chase went on a little long, it wasn't varied enough to really keep you riveted as long as it continued but it climaxed in a spectacular hand to hand fight so it was all worth while. Ultimatum also continues Bourne's amazing and exotic location shooting while still bringing Bourne home back to the door step of the United States and the C.I.A. The Bourne Ultimatum is an incredible end to the trilogy and I PRAY they change their minds and bring Bourne back for another round because this series has truly only gotten better from one film to the next. 10/10 Awesome action with intense plot !! September 9, 2007 Mr.DOG (england) 16 out of 23 found this review helpful What a fantastic film but you really need to have seen the previous 2 to fully understand appreciate the plot. Jason Bourne is searching for his identity and surviving many attempts on his life, because he holds the key to a number of high ranking individuals positions. br / br /This film is the best in the trilogy, even though the other 2 are fantastic, as it answers all the questions with relentless pace and action. It is the must see film of 2007 and completely wraps up the plot of the whole Bourne saga. br / br /Buy it !!!! A fitting ending to the trilogy August 25, 2007 Fiona Mccaw (Edinburgh) 9 out of 13 found this review helpful It's very rare for a trilogy of films to just get better and better, but this is a very rare trilogy! The Bourne Ultimatum grabs the audience by the throat immediately, and doesn't let go until the credits roll - fast-paced, frenetic and overloaded with adrenaline, the non-stop action and tension gets cranked up all the way. br /For a character who says very little and is intensely focused, Matt Damon does a marvellous job of really making us care about Jason Bourne and his journey of discovery. br /While the story is quite neatly wrapped-up at the end, and I hate the idea of good stories spinning out their success to one film too many, this one was so well-made that I'd be glad to see Bourne back again! The ultimate ultimatum August 22, 2007 T. Fitzpatrick (London) 10 out of 15 found this review helpful This film provides an amazing ending to a great trilogy. It is an action packed thriller and there is not a second where there is not a tense scene that keeps the audience at the edge of their seat. After seeing the first two Bourne films i was looking forward to seeing this movie and it exceeded all expectations. Put simply, this is the ultimate ending to the Bourne saga and is were all of the unanswered questions and mysteries from the first two films are answered. Although i would recommend seeing the other two movies first this is the pick of the bunch and even though i had almost forgotten the other two films i was not left behind by this movie. It follows the story of Jason Bourne to it's conclusion and includes car chases, gun fights ,and my personal favourite, Bourne disarming and beating-up a load of gun-wielding blokes. Bourne is played by Matt Damon who does a great job, making Bourne into a very interesting and intriguing character. Although this movie can be a little complicated it is thoroughly gripping and is very tense and action packed. In short, it is the perfect ending to the bourne trilogy. It is a must see for anyone who watched and enjoyed the first two movies or likes action thrillers such as James Bond. Enjoy! Showing reviews 1-5 of 114 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...23 Next »
