You might want to see the first two before you see the third. Otherwise you'll be confused. Make sure you see them in order because the Bourne Identity helps you understand the Bourne Supremacy. And in turn, the Bourne Supremacy helps you understand the Bourne Ultimatum.

Well first off you might have understood it but I think thats a load of bull. This movie relies on the previous movies to make it a good movie. There is so much detail in these movies you have to see them all. The only way that you understood it was if someone was telling you everything while the movie was on.

I agree with you 100% on that, it was making me sick to watch that.

Fights are never perfectly executed and you never have a good view of where you are in a fight, so the movie-makers used that concept in the filming positions to make it more intense. I think it adds to it. Steady camera shots are boring and don't add to the effects of the film.

Spot on with that explanation, I knew thats why they did it but it doesn't make it any better. I thought it was a neat idea but I would rather see the fight in clarity.

I agree with mag. Don't go and watch the 3rd with out seein the others.


I think this was my favorite out of the three.

As I mentioned, the person I went with gave me a brief (but detailed) explenation of the first two. I caught on rather quickly. Perhaps other people couldn't follow a movie like that as easily as I could, I don't know.
