Summary: Bourne, Jason Bourne
Review: All I can say it is a great movie...Although I haven't read the book or seen the last film I must say that this film kicks major [butt]! I'm not a huge Matt Damon fan either but he was pretty good. This movie is boring in the begginning but it is action-packed like you wouldn't believe. I have to say that this is the best movie of 2002. Although as of now it is tied with Die Another Day. Which is another great action-packed type of movie. As for the dvd goes it is filled with bonuses, extras, deleted scenes just like your typical dvd, which by the way isn't bad. You may or may not be disappointed with this movie because I'm not familiar with the other book or movie my advice to you is just give this movie a shot, you may like it...

Summary: Still-"Bourne"
Review: It takes a lot of skill to make a crackling good action pic. It takes talent of a different sort to make a film this listless and dull. So dull, in fact, that I turned it off 10 minutes before the end. That's how much I didn't care. Great actors like Brian Cox, Clive Owen and Chris Cooper are completely wasted, and are we really supposed to believe that 18-year-old Erika Christenson runs the CIA's covert Paris offices? There's absolutely no chemistry between the co-stars (the director wisely pulls the camera away when they start to kiss) and Damon proves that, as good an actor as he can be ("Good Will Hunting" and particularly that Meg Ryan/Denzel Washington pic), he's really not a movie star. A big "who cares."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Skip the movie
Review: Skip the movie' read the book. This movie doesn't even come close to doing Robert Ludlum justice. Enough said?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Suspense Piece
Review: This movie had just the right amount of suspense to make it entertaining all the way through. There are several scenes that keep you on the edge and rooting for the protagonist (though you don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Bourne Identity
Review: Great movie if you like I would recomend the original I personally thought it was better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I was exspecting what they said in the comercials. I thought that this was going to be a non stop action, edge of your seat movie. That was way off the mark. Many of the action scenes were so boring I had to fight off sleep, which on secound thought would have been a relief so I would not have to suffer through any more of this movie.
If you read the book you will hate this movie more than the people that did not. This was the worst movie adaptation of a book since The Firm. Carlos is not in it, instead the good guy from the book Conklin is the big bad guy.
So once again don't waste your time with this. You want to see a good movie in this genre, see Mission Imposible or James Bond or an even less well known movie the Advengers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Thrill Ride to the Last!
Review: I've seen some reviews say this film is based very loosely on the book by Robert Ludlum. Having never read the book, I started off with a clean slate...and MAN I LOVED IT.

This film is action packed from the get-go. There are a few setup scenes, but the film keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The film follows Matt Damon's character, Jason Bourne. He awakens floating in the Mediterannean with no recollection of his identity, as well as a couple of bullets in his back. He spends the film trying to find his identity, as well as the identity of those who keep trying to kill him.

I've never been a fan of Matt Damon's, but this film may be the one that win's me over to his side. I found his acting to be quite good.

The special edition DVD contains a few extras, including an alternate ending, which I haven't watched. I don't want to ruin it for myself. This movie is certainly not for children, as it contains copious amounts of violence, and some sexual content.

If you like action films, or even suspense, this movie is for you. If you like Matt Damon, ditto. If you like knitting, and peace and quiet, don't get it. Otherwise, add this one to your collection.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too many unsatisfying changes of scenes
Review: Hum... I did not like the movie much. It was too all over the places (in other words, a little disturbing) and it was with too many unsatisfying changes of scenes for me. I felt like I was watching the sequence of bunch of action scenes. It is too bad since I like Matt Damon and Franka Potente and they are fine in the movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Bourne Identity
Review: I just watched The Bourne Identity last night. I did like the movie. However, even though it has been a long while since I read the book (and the two Bourne books following the first), I do suggest to anybody who liked the movie, please read the book. While I like Matt Damon a lot, he is just a little young to have played Jason Bourne. Richard Chamberlain in the original movie fit the part a bit better. Don't get me wrong--this movie is pretty good. It's just that the book is much better. Try it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked the bourne identity
Review: I watched the bourne identity and minority report one after another, and of the two I like the bourne identity better. I liked the flow of the movie and the give and take of matt damon and the woman whose car he "borrowed." I would watch it again and buy the dvd again.
