I found this movie MUCH more enjoyable than the first three Bournes


I found this much more compelling for some reason. Anyone else?

I enjoyed the first three movies, though I didn't see ant at the theatre. They don't have a lot of rewatch ability for me. I read the books when I was younger and the movies are nothing like the books, which was jarring for me some. I really enjoyed Legacy. I watched it twice in the theatre. It felt fresh and I liked where they were going. I'm hoping the next movie is about Aaron Cross. I want to see what happens next.

Honestly none of them are that great after the first in my opinion. It was unique and action packed. After that each one just feels like a wannabe of the first one. This one particularly is bland and boring though. It was tough to even finish the first time, and has zero replay value.

I also think this is a bit underrated.

I liked the more "personal" focus of this movie in that it was about one scientist trying to survive and one guy trying to keep his Meds.

It reminded me in that sense of the first movie in that it wasn't a particularly "political" movie about bringing down elements of the CIA but two people's struggle to survive.
