The Bourne Ultimatum - 4.75/5

Great movie indeed, awesome action along with some very intense moments on the screen, highly recommand as well. I love the open ending to makes me wonder.

i don't know about the greatest trilogy. I'd say lord of the rings takes that, but yes, I saw it yesterday, and it was incredible. The fight scene with the "asset" was ridiculous!

lets hope Legacy and Betrayal get made into films

I thought about the LOTR and I have to say although great trilogy the third movie wasn't the best one out of the three. Which I think is vital, though it was still a great movie I got a little bored during a portion of the movie and some parts just seemed uninteresting kind of. In Bourne Ultimatum, it kept me entertained all through and it not only tied everything together perfectly but it was also better than the previous two.

And yes the fight with the "asset" was indeed RIDICULOUS!

GODFATHER.

Even if the 3rd wasnt the best movie ever, the first 2 are both among the top movies of all time. PArt 2 might just be the best.

Die Hard trilogy is the best ever.

followed by Home Alone.

This is Jason Bourne and I remember... I remember everything

Nobody forgot about Godfather but everybody agrees the 3rd killed off everything the first two accomplish. It would without a doubt be the greatest trilogy if it weren't for the 3rd one. Sadly this is the truth.

Die Hard has 4 features so its no longer a trilogy but it was damn good and Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin sold his soul to the devil to get the grosses up on that piece of shit.

Bourne: "Where are you?"

Agent Strathairn: "I'm sitting in my office."

Bourne: "I doubt that."

Agent Strathairn: "How come?"

Bourne: "Because if you were in your office...we'd be having this conversation face to face." (*click*)

Not sure if this is the greatest trilogy but this is one of the funniest movie parodies I've seen in a while.

No love for the original trilogy?

It's ok. The guy is a liberal in real life, vs. a phony-patriot and Chickenhawk like Fred Thompson. Pretty exciting movie. I recommend it.

Godfather 3 killed the ability to speak of the Godfather saga as the best trilogy ever.

LOTR was great, but at a runtime of 16 hours, it's a little iffy.

Die Hard series is not a trilogy.

IMHO, this the Bourne series, Man with No Name trilogy, and LOTR are the top three of all time, in an order to be determined.

And, personally, I'm glad that Damon has refused to do any more. It's a successful franchise that should be left alone.

How about some original starwars? Best trilogy of all time (if you can call it a trilogy).

The original two terminator movies are good enough to vault that trilogy to second place.

I'd give it 5/5.

I seriously could find no fault with it at all.

gonna have to go with Back to the Future on this one.

will wait to see Bourne Ultimatum. first 2 were decent, but somewhat predictable.

If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed with this, 5/5.

does the shaky camera make anyone else dizzy?

Thank you, I was about to post that myself. I give the movie a 3.5 out of 5. All the shaky cam and long sequences of shots that were no longer than about 2 seconds got a little old. If Liman directed it (along with the 2nd as well), it would've been better, but apparently the only way Greengrass knows how to build suspense is to shake the camera around a lot and use shots that average out to be about a second long. It made me want to go home and watch that really long f***ing shot from Children of Men on repeat for an hour or so.

Certainly not the best trilogy of all-time, not close. I don't see what the big fuss is. The plot is good enough (somewhere between Catch Me If You Can and The Departed) but the plot is more or less the same in each movie which gets a little boring. The fight scenes are average (hell, the new Die Hard had better fight scenes), and the shaky cam got old QUICK. It's an action movie. If you're action is shitty and the only way to make it exciting is to strap the camera to a Jack Russel Terrier on caffeine pills standing on hot coals, then it probably shouldn't be considered for greatest trilogy of all-time.

Give me Star Wars, LOTR, Die Hard 1-3 any day of the week over these only slightly above average movies.

Paul Greengrass is a joke.

I just got in from this and you're right, after seeing this it makes you wanna watch that 9 minute shot in Children of Men. I wonder what would have happened with the Bourne movies if somebody else directed them.

I hate when people shoot with handheld cameras. Its funny, but in China they put a warning label on Babel because they thought it might cause seizures. I don't know where this trend has come from, but guys like Greengrass and Alexander Gonzalez-Innuarta use the handhelds WAAAAAAy to much.
