Summary: Very good entertainment
Review: I went to this movie thinking I was going to be bored, I had seen the old TV movie and I wasn't expecting much. I was very surpised how good it was, one of my favorites of the year.

Summary: Read the book
Review: What can I say? I was enormously disappointed. I've been a fan of Robert Ludlum for probably 15 years. This movie was a resonably decent "action/adventure" -- but it bore little resemblence to the novel I loved.And Matt Damon? As Jason Bourne? I don't THINK so! If you want to see a somewhat entertaining example of this genre, rent -- don't buy. But if you are a purist (or at least like your book to movie translations to be recognizable) you won't care much for this one.

Summary: Entertaining but should be titled something different
Review: I feel they should of named this movie something other than the "Bourne Identity" it is nothing like Robert Ludlum's novel other than it being a story of a secret agent that loses his memory. The movie is good by action and suspence point of view, but if you are like me and love Ludlum's "Bourne Identity" it is nothing close. I was vastly disappointed. If you haven't read the book, read it! Even though it was written in the '70's, it is still a good story. I did think the casting of the characters were better than the 1988 movie, though I thought he 1988 movie was more aligned with the Ludlum's novel.

Summary: Bour-ing
Review: ... I was anxious for this to end very early into the movie. It was not that entertaining at all. If you want a good movie for 2002, check out Signs. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat. This movie will just make you want to leave your seat!

Summary: Jason Bourne? Who?
Review: after the Ludlum novels (including the novel of the movie title) I was skeptical about this movie, particularly after the awful attempt by Richard Chamberlain. If ever an actor captured Jason Bourne, it is Matt Damon and he has done a fine job of this role with the result that this is a gripping and suspenseful movie in its own right, regardless of the books. Throughly recommended. But. Jason Bourne. Still it remains impossible to transfer to film the thoughts going on inside his head, and it is these that make the whole premise of the Bourne stories scarier. Certainly the CIA (or whichever department of dirty tricks is 'running' the operative known as Bourne) are not so sure who he is..but Bourne himself has no idea. It is his own fear, generated from this lack of certainty that remains 'missing' from the story on film. Capture that and the whole Bourne storyline throughout all the books (and please can we have sequels. This movie is certainly good enough for more..) will fit into place on the screen.

Summary: Good action movie. 3 1/2 stars.
Review: I did enjoy this film, but there were some things that annoyed me. First of all, I had a hard time buying Matt Damon as a high powered assassin. He's a little too much of a "pretty boy" and seemed way too young. The other agents, those assigned to kill him, were much more believeable. Now, I haven't read the book, but I've heard plenty about it. The Professor, the assassin that completed Bourne's failed mission, was supposed to be his equal, if not superior, in skill. However, the Professor was done away with in about 5 minutes, by Bourne. And lastly, I can't stand when a character gets kicked, punched, sprayed with glass, etc., and never has the slightest bruise or cut. He falls down several flights of stairs and doesn't even get an ankle sprain. I understand Bourne is a top agent, but he's not armor plated. These are nit picky things, I'll admit, but I'm a pretty harsh movie critic. On the positive side, I did like the story and 99% of the casting. The action was excellent and the acting was pretty good.

Summary: Stylish, Intelligent Thriller
Review: I absolutely love this movie! I was glad that the producers decided to go with a respected actor like Mr. Damon, instead of some B-Movie beefcake with great abs and little acting skill. The movie is a pleasurable experience and is done in such a way that it prevents the film from feeling dated. The amnesic assassin is considered cliche, but that does not keep the movie from being entertaining. Ms. Potente has good chemistry with Matt and movie does not turn overly sappy with the love interest element in the story. The movie has one of the most enjoyable car chases in movie history. This too is done with such style that it keeps the viewer from feeling jaded in the "seen this before" sense. If anything, I wanted the movie to have a little more action. My only real complaint is the waste of Julie Stiles in this movie. The very beautiful and talented actress is in perhaps 3 scenese. She plays an espionage tech operator in the search for Jason Bourne. I rate this one of the classiest and excellent spy noir films of all time.
