The Bourne Supremacy

[Thordic]

The movies and the books have absolutely nothing in common.

The plot of the first movie was 90% different, and due to that, the plot of the second movie is forced to be entirely different.

The movies are pretty good, but just can't be compared to the books.

Ludlum books are extremely complex, it'd be pretty hard to make them into a movie based off the book. Too much stuff going on.

I reccomend reading the books but just don't expect them to line up with the movies.

Also, the movies were written in the early-mid eighties, so technology and politics have changed drastically.

I liked the new one a whole lot more then the first one, and I loved the first one.


See this movie, its so good

[edweird]

I watched it last night and had a good time of it. over all it was a very cool plot driven action flic. imho its worth the 750 some may spend to see it.

my only gripe is the over use of blair witch esque shakeycam even if it was to hide less than precise combat coreography and provide atmosphere.

Just got back... pretty good movie!! Some really good chase scenes, and and overall good movie in general.

[Havoc_online]

From 1-10 I give it a 6.5

I liked the first one FAR more.

I liked the first one FAR more.

Even though I LIKED this one... me too.

i liked the raw nature of the fight scenes and camera work, it feels so much more real that the uber-smooth camerawork and choreographed fight scenes in a lot of other movies.

the chase scene was great! Ronin is still the best though...

the CIA witch lady played the role very well, it was fun when she thought she was in control and then gets owned by Bourne on the phone...

very enjoyable movie, too bad the theater i went to didn't accept the free pass i got when i bought the Bourne Identity this weekend.

Yeah, I read the first book, and tried watching the first movie, but it was so COMPLETELY different that I gave up about a quarter of the way through. I could definately tell that they changed a lot for the sequel based simply on the first book.
Nevertheless I still liked it, and the plot was more complex than in most movies today, even if there were a couple hole (which I couldn't point out without spoiling the movie).

I was kind of disappointed in this one. The first one I thought was totally better. Like ZSig said, I just look back at this movie and can't really remember one scene that sticks out and makes me go "awesome" or "woah." The first one had it in the scene where he gets in the fight with the assasin and stabs him with the pen. This one I thought really didn't have a lot of action or fighting, but rather a lot of keeping you on the edge of fighting with chases and stuff. I mean it was good, but it I thought it could've been more.

Woo, someone agrees with me!

I'm almost afraid to see it after seeing people say the first was better. I hated the first one. I wish somebody would make a movie from a book that was at least as good or exactly the same as the book. It seems it's impossible for someone to make a film that exactly follows the book.
