The Bourne Legacy

Crap. Don't watch it. With a title like The Bourne Legacy I thought they might at least relate this movie (and its conclusion) back to Bourne somehow (even if he wasn't going to be in it). All you get is the first act of the movie basically trying to recount (in a bad way). There's not even any mystery to it and you can tell straight away what's going to happen. I spent the entire grand finale action sequence thinking that it was the spanner-in-the-works ending of act 2 and was genuinely surprised when it ended where it did.

Not even worth getting on DVD. Leave it alone. 2/10

are you kidding me, i went and saw this one today and found it to be quite enjoyable, mind you it did feel a little long with a running time of 2 hours and 15 minutes, i believe that it shouldnt have been this long, at least 20 minutes shorter wouldve sufficed.

3/5

I swear I must be the only person alive who actually likes 2.5-3hr movies.

I like long movies but there needs to be a purpose for them to be long. If the movie is continually keeping my interest then it is fine with me.

I like a good long movie although I found when I walked out of Dark Knight Rises my brain felt crushed between two rocks.

Pissed me off every article where they said "his hair dyed red like The Joker."

Like the JimCarrey Riddler maybe but I don't recall a non-green Joker ever.

The Campaign

Typical Will Ferrell affair. Loses steam towards the end, but was good for a laugh.

Bound

Finally got around to seeing the Wachowski's first feature. Really well done. The lesbian element seemed a little forced and uninteresting to me (who'd a thought!), but once Pantoliano and the mob element got involved (detective Stabler was great lol) things really ramped up.

Great little thriller.

4/5
