Movie Review: Jason Bourne (2016) *Is Bourne Back?*

share

If you ignore the tacked-on Bourne Legacy, the Bourne series has been the standard in action-adventure.  It’s grounded realism and intelligent plots were a good part of the reason the Bond series had to be dragged out of the 1970’s.  Jason Bourne is the first film reuniting series star Matt Damon and director of films two and three, Paul Greengrass, in nine years.  Was Bourne going to be back to his old tricks, or should this series have ended with The Bourne Ultimatum?

My Favorite Scene: The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) *Hand Towel Throwdown*

We are now two days away from the fifth entry in the Bourne series: Jason Bourne.  The film marks the return of Matt Damon to the title role and director of films two and three: Paul Greengrass.  Most likely, this will be the last Damon Bourne film.  We’re looking at the first three entries in the series in this column leading up to the film (because really why submit yourself to The Bourne Legacy?).  Two weeks ago, we looked at The Bourne Identity, last week we looked at The Bourne Supremacy, and this week we look at the last film to feature Damon & Greengrass: 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum.

We are now three weeks away from the fifth entry in the Bourne series: Jason Bourne.  The film marks the return of Matt Damon to the title role (after the awful Bourne Legacy) and director of films two and three: Paul Greengrass.  Most likely, this will be the last Damon Bourne film.  We’ll be spending the next three weeks in My Favorite Scene looking at one of the best action trilogies ever made (because I really, really suppressed the memory of #4) Continue reading My Favorite Scene: The Bourne Identity (2002) *Mini Madness*

Trailer Time: Jason Bourne Trailer #1 (2016) *You Know His Name*

After the brief nightmare that was the Bourne Legacy, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are returning for the franchise’s fifth installment.  Bourne has been off the grid for years, but this first trailer doesn’t make it seem like he’s lost a step.  Maybe we’ll finally get answers as to what exactly is his relationship to Julia Stiles’ character, which is a mystery dating back to the first film.  Easily one of my most anticipated films of the summer.  Jason Bourne returns to theaters on July 29, 2016.
