Summary: Forget Affleck---Matt's The Real Star!
Review: Feel like a little " Matt attack "? You'll definitely enjoy this film. I found the plot compelling and the acting incredibly realistic. I enjoy Matt Damon but usually hate these types of films. I bought the DVD because I heard such great reviews about the movie. This is the typical I-don't-know-who-I-am film with some decent twists. This is for Matt Damon fans any time, any place. The Bourne Identity is the only film I've seen in the last five years that is worthy of a sequel. Hint to film makers...we'd like to see more of Bourne!

Summary: Pales in comparison to the book
Review: I was really looking forward to this movie when it came out, as I am a huge fan of the original Ludlum books. (The Bourne Identity, Supremancy and Ultimatum) As is all too often the case in movies adapted from books, this version sacrifices far too much to get it to the big screen. The depth of the plot of the book is truly stunning - the twists and turns are intriguing and really serve to drive the book forward. The movie eliminates a lot of the back story to fit in the time limit. While I will agree that the action and pace of the movie are on the high side, I was very disappointed in how little of the original plot was preserved. And while I've loved Matt Damon in some of his other roles, I don't feel that he did a very good job of portraying the inner turmoil of Jason Bourne as he struggles through his amnesia and trying to discover who he is. If you haven't already read the book, then the movie might still be enjoyable, but fans of the original novel will likely find that this film version comes up short. If you've already seen the movie, please read the book - you won't regret it.

Summary: COOL SPY STUFF
Review: CIA intrigue, political assasins, an amnesiac hero, cool car chases, a lovely damsel in not too much distress, what more can you ask of a spy thriller based on a Robert Ludlum novel? Stop and breathe for a moment and you may realize this is little more than one long chase scene. But the exotic European locations, and believable if not comic book performances move this along faster than a high speed European railway system. It's all pretty exciting, if not complex. Give a CIA assasin amnesia and all sorts of things are bound to happen. But mostly he'll be chased. There's a conviction here that could wipe the smirk off James Bond's face in a moment.

Summary: Bourne Identity
Review: Huge Matt Damon fan, and this still... lacked. There was little to no chemistry between Matt and his costar so the ending... leaves some to be desired... it's contrived. The plot is good. The twists are good. But there's just something missing here. The oompph is not there somehow. Not sure exactly what could have been fixed, but you turn it off feeling somehow unsettled.

Summary: How come this didn't get more attention?
Review: Wow. I've had this on my amazon.com recommendations for a long time but I never seemed to get around to watching it. Maybe it was because I couldn't really buy the idea of Matt Damon in an action movie. Well well I finally rented it and I think this is one of the best movies of 2002.The pacing of this movie is amazing. I wasn't bored once. It's just so gripping. You can really tell that it was adapted from a really deep and high-quality book (which I'm gonna have to check out as well now). The characters are so interesting and the action is AMAZING. Some of the scenes seemed so simple but I was clenching my fists with my eyes glued to the screen. This is an extremely well made, well thought out movie. Better than any James Bond flick I've ever seen and probably makes close-by XXX DVDs loose all their self-esteem. I can't wait for the sequel ( The Bourne Supremacy - 2004 ) Check this superb espionage-action movie out right now.

Summary: Why?
Review: This is a decent movie if you live in a cave and have never seen a spy movie. Its main plotline is basically a gawky-teenager like spy fumbling his way through the movie trying to figure out who he is and how he got there. he, as well as the movie are completely laughable. The special effects are non-existant, the plot is thin, and unless you are a huge Damon fan then this movie is about as enjoyable as gigli.

Summary: Above-average espionage thriller
Review: I have neither read the book or seen the original, so taken as a "stand-alone" piece for me, this film works on many levels. Matt Damon proves his acting prowess here, being able to pull-off action while not being wooden or glib. Not as easy as one might think. Sure there are the fingerprints of many other films in the genre all over this script and production, but that doesn't prevent it from succeeding where it intends to go. I appreciate the production values and the overall feel -- very consistent and focused. Franka Potente is a delight as well. All in all, a good start on what is most likely another spy-film franchise.

Summary: Okay okay, so it's good.
Review: I did NOT want to see this movie. Quite frankly, up until two weeks ago, the last thing I wanted to see was another movie with Matt Damon in it. However, after seeing this movie, I'm ready for some more! This movie flat out rocks. You've got spies and covert action going on. You've got explosions. You've got your guns, your shootouts, your car chases, and of course, the ladies. Of course it's not the most original idea, but sometimes you just want to see people running around shooting at eachother. At least I do. Check it out.

Summary: better than you'd expect
Review: I thought this movie was gonna be a bore but this one is really a keeper. it puts a lot of action and suspense into one ball and lets it explode. damon is excellent as jason bourne and franka potente is beautiful as always. clive owen is great in a supporting part as the professor(he's the one who gets shotgunned by damon in the field). all in all it pays off and its wonderfully made and the stunts are great. damon is really doing all his stunts
