I've just wasted almost an hour trying to make head or tail over this load of rubbish.
In the search for 'realism' people don't talk any more, they mumble inaudibly, half-way through the film a new name is mentioned and all of a sudden everyone mentions this name who is suddenly mega-important. The good and bad guy leads are such pretty boys they look very similar and with the terribly lit scenes, it's almost impossible to tell them apart.
This realism also involves an office-full of people in Langley, Virginia all watching live webcams of Waterloo station. Operators wherever they happen to be in the world can give and receive live commentary with video.
Now I'm a lecturer in a technical college, probably not able to apply for Mensa, but then not particulartly stupid either and I think films these days would make more sense if 10 minute segments were chosen randomly from ten other films, genre totally unimportant, and all spliced together in any order.
I love the Bourne films too, though havn't seen Ultimatum yet (know it's been on, but had to look after Dad and missed it)
Do you think it woud help if you read the book first, then re-watched the film. I like Robert Ludlum's books.
gureenlegend: your persuasive powers do you credit, as does your level of intellect and education. (You do realise you should've gone to school EVERY day, not just the once?)
So gureenlegend and I are having a bit of fun at each other's expense. What's your problem? You really thought your opinion was worth submitting? Lighten up.
Dear LewPaper, I understand your comments and can relate to them having watched this film myself and had similiar thoughts. Thank you for your intelligent critique because I can see now where it didn't make any sense to me. Thanks!
