Has you went into great lengths and detailed of pros and cons With each bourne films. Your comment is fantastically put I enjoyed reading it because you took your time and appreciate it. Still, Bourne 5 has him finally chasing someone in a car chase instead of being chased, and it leaves open a new world of possibilities, despite its important, but forgettable core. I prefer the premise of the Treadstone (2019) show, and that was a shitstorm in several areas (it’s still pretty interesting). Does it lead anywhere? It should have, but it still leaves room for more.īourne 5 copies Supremacy and Ultimatum more than it should: someone he cares for dies in the beginning (fatal injury would be more ok than this), a government guy wants to spy more than he should, a lady that hunts for Bourne then vouches for him and turns against government guy, guys in the CIA’s Treadstone are still trying to come for him, Bourne is still trying to remember this one memory. It’s realistic (to a fault), and it’s a different take on the lives of assassins with the touch of civilians similar to the one from Identity. Jeremy Renner did a good enough job, and the premise was interesting at best.
The finale was depressing since it drives home the reality of government coverups, especially Landy being cooked. The chemistry was mild, the tone was darker than normal, and the lab shooting was traumatizing at worst.
Anyways, I get that Legacy is meh compared to the original trilogy. It should be known that Tony was a writer for the first 4 Bourne movies, which is likely why Bourne 5 feels more different than it should be. Legacy with Tony Gilroy is a different turn. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a trope in the books. I will acknowledge any downfalls they have, especially the reoccurring trope of having a person close to Bourne killed in the beginning to motivate him (also in Bourne 5). I like the sharper tone and merged arc of those two movies, and I prefer Supremacy a little over Ultimatum. The peak action scenes with well-directed music and plot really put Bourne in his cool phase, and I personally use them as productivity inspiration. The other assassins were mostly just there, though. Supremacy and Ultimatum with Paul Greengrass shift the franchise towards action and character building, especially building Nicky, Abbott, and Landy. All in all, it was progress on the right fronts with a hook for more. Kane’s assistant” scene was a good take on having a different perspective. It gave Bourne not only a good taste on normal life with Marie (and good chemistry of course), but also the hope for one. It’s mild in action and tone compared to the other ones, but that’s a good entrance for a franchise about assassination. Identity with Doug Liman is the foundation of the rest in music, plot design, and visuals. I have preferences, but that doesn’t mean I’m limited to one movie.
