This was great. The expected amount of action, and the final chase scene was destructive enough for gobs of collateral damage. The plot seemed to flow better than other Bourne entries, and if there were big plot holes I didn't note them amid the action.
Alicia Vikander did very well with her role, I feel. The role she had did not provide opportunity for as much subtlety and nuance as Ex-Machina, but it can cement her for future action/intense roles. It makes me think of her doing a Hanna, or Milla Jovovich role, Charlize, or maybe Hit-Girl's sister for Kick-Ass. This role was central to the film, and although it likely could have been filled with other actresses, Alicia did a great job.
I was glad to see Firefly Alum Gregg Henry in a key role as well, although I did not recognize him until the more close-up scenes with Bourne. If I had known he was in this, I had forgotten.
I think I have read all of the Bourne books, and I didn't recall any that followed this plotline. If so, the story was after Ludlum's passing.

Glad it got good reviews. They've been playing the crap out of the older Bourne flicks, to reacquaint folks of the story, I suppose.
And never ceases to amaze to see Firefly alum do well. I know Morena has been pretty high profile in the last 10 years, but her part in Deadpool was AWESOME !!! Sorry, I digress.

I don't think this is spoilersish, so....
in the final scene between Alicia and Damon, pay attention to their words, what they say. Remember that for a few minutes.
RapKnight, have you seen Hilliary's America?

Thanks for the heads up. I have it on my must-see list for the summer movies.

I've not. Probably won't either. I figure it'll make me too damn angry.
And you know, no one likes it when I'm angry...
I will buy a ticket or two, just to support the cause. I hear it's getting great reviews.

Only from people like you and JSF who were already inclined to agree with its talking points. It has a 4% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and only 2% on MetaCritic.

I checked both those sites to see how retarded it's viewers and "critics" are. Both of them rate any Michael Moore gibberish masquerading as documentary highly, far above real documentaries. Clearly not the sort of audience which can distinguish reality from fiction, or even attempts to.

Not to worry SGG. Bourne does not have any reality, facts or truth in it, so you should survive it without your head exploding, safely cocooned in your fantasy surrealism.
