Looking forward to this.

It will definitely have a very different feel to it without Matt Damon but I'll keep an open mind and see what the reviews are like.

I hope this will be good, and not just a money-making exercise.

Jeremy Renner sure gets around a lot these days I liked him in Hurt Locker and Ghost Protocol. He seems to be one of those newly-emerged stars that gets cast in a lot of movies nowadays, him and Tom Hardy.

Is that a reboot or a sequel... cause if it is a sequel why even call it bourne anything if there is no jason bourne... also how do they get away with this crap. The only bourne movie even close to the books was the first one and they jumped the shark 30 minutes into it.

Considering how ****ing amazaing the bourne books were and how they would almost directly transfer to a movie why couldnt they just follow the books closely. They would have had much better and popular movies...

Also... for the love of god please dont let this one have shaky-cam... The last bourne movie felt like I was watching the blare witch project.

Master needs a hug lol

I've not read the Bourne books but weren't they based very much on the Cold War era? By and large, Cold War era stories are seen as being outdated and irrelevant by Hollywood now.

Every time Hollywood "updates" a Cold War scenario by massively changing the script, it ends up a disaster. That said, I haven't read the Bourne books, but I think the movies are really good! And look at Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: It isn't updated in the least, and it was bloody fantastic! So I blame Hollywood

By following a different agent initiated into Treadstone/Black Briar, it looks like they've effectively been able to do a reboot of the series without necessarily breaking canon, and I'd guess that it runs concurrently with and past the end of the old Matt Damon movies.
The trailer reeked of "mindless action flick" to me whilst hanging onto the plot arcs of the CIA programmes just for the purposes of context. Hope I'm wrong, as I quite liked the other three.

Keep in mind though that high quality is not the same thing as being a box office blockbuster and it's the latter that Hollywood mostly cares about. And of course, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was not a Hollywood production.

Sadly, this seems to be the case But I do hope TTSS will do good, and it seems it's doing OK at the box office at the moment.

The worst case of high quality not being properly appreciated is IMO "Master and Commander".

Completely agree. Looking back on it now, it's a miracle the movie even got made in the first place.

" . . . never seen evaluations like this." It's as if they saw our thread where we made fun of the over-used line "his scores are off the charts" and decided to rephrase it.

By the way, as long as they make it as good as the Bourne movies I don't have a problem with the use of the name "Bourne." Even in the first three movies we knew that there were other Treadstone and Blackbriar agents, so this is not a bad departure on the story arc. Fingers crossed!

I have a friend who loves the movies. I told him the movies are based on the books. Well he gets amnesia in both, and there are some other minor things, but the books are totally different.

Carlos the jackyl.

Honestly, I tried reading the first book and it bored me to tears, then got sappy with the chick. Couldn't finish it. Love the movies. Unless you're doing the movie set in the '70's, which would be hokey, you have to rewrite the story anyway due to the details being so relative to the time.
This looks pretty good, but whenever I see that guy in a movie, I can't help but think of SWAT. Seems to play characters a lot alike.

It would be better if they put in some robots.

There isn't a film that has been made that wouldn't be better if it included cool looking lethal robots that blow stuff up.

and dinosaurs...

and emo teenage vampires.


Uh..scratch that.

. . . emo teen robots.

Agreed. It probably needs a 'super hero' element added too to fight the evil robots, like every other frikkin film being released these days.

Perhaps the 'Teenage Mutant Cyborg Kung fu Koala's' would fit the bill. 'In 2012, a secret crack commando unit of teenage mutant Koala Cyborgs were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as Mutant Cyborg Koala Bears of fortune.....'....Err, hang on I think I might be getting a bit confused again.

Never mind.

"Nurse! He's gotten out again!"

*ribbit, ribbit*

Won't work, as one would have identical killer robots doing nothing but smoking cigarettes and whining about how they hate conformity.

...all of them... at the same time...
