Summary: Great Movie!
Review: WOW! I wasn't really expecting much when I saw it in the Theatres but I was totally shocked! This movie is freakin great...The plot was awesome and it kept me going; I never got bored or moved my eyes off the screen for a second. The action keeps on going! Matt Damon plays a great role. He wakes up one day and cant remember a single thing about his life...but he seems to be the smartest man on the streets. Now it is his goal to gain an identity. If you want to see a good action/thriller movie, check this one out! You wont be dissappointed!

Summary: Intelligent, Different, Kind of Dull
Review: Indie director Doug Liman promised a different, intelligent variation on the Hollywood spy thriller with this remake of The Bourne Identity, and he does deliver: the film is low-keyed, the characters' behavior reasonably naturalistic, the action human-scaled. There's no bracing stupidity on display here.Unfortunately, while this approach dodges typical action bombast, it also manages to avoid much in the way of excitement. Moment to moment, the film is elegantly directed; individual action scenes impress, as does the naturalistic acting, and there are scenes of reasonable suspense. But despite this, most of the film feels vaguely dull. There's just not enough story here. In the interests of style and believability, the filmmakers have stripped their tale so lean that there's not much reason to care what happens their characters, or down the backstretch even why Bourne and his CIA handlers behave as they do. The Bourne Identity is extremely well-crafted, and probably the best film that could have been made from this script, but for all its cool, the end result is tepid. For a better stab at an intelligent, humanistic spy film, try Tony Scott's Spy Game.

Summary: Could it have been any worse?
Review: Terrible, terrible, terrible... I would give this one NO stars but that's not an option. Did anyone involved with this movie read the book?!!! About the only parts that had anything to do with the book written by Robert Ludlum was the first fifteen minutes of the movie, the name of the lead character, and the name Treadstone 71. The rest came from some...script writer's head. Gone are the intricate plot twists and surprises that make a Robert Ludlum novel so much fun and difficult to put down. They've taken the title of a great book and made it into a (hopefully) forgettable movie that will have the Author turning in his grave. I cannot believe how horrible this movie was made...

Summary: predictable, but still engaging, entertaining.
Review: While I agree with other reviewers that this film is somewhat predictable, it is nevertheless very engaging and entertaining, and I plan to watch it again. Damon is surprisingly well suited for the role and it doesn't insult your intelligence- everything is plausible. Think of it as Mission Impossible, only not silly like it was. Good supporting cast also. Definitely worth owning. A movie you will most likely watch several times, and still enjoy.

Summary: Lots to see, not much for story.
Review: The story is unbelievably poorly written (I mean the movie, not the book). This movie gives you many laughable unreal stupid scenes as a spy movie and endless questions of why. But do we care? Nice European locations like Paris, Prague, etc.

Summary: A Real Yawner......Don't Waste Your Time!
Review: I started watching this on a weekend away with 2 other couples. By the time it was 20 minutes into it, I was the only one who hadn't given up and gone to bed! It's very slow, and the ending is a letdown......it just sort of, ends. No real character development, you don't really care what happens to the characters. There are much better choices out there.

Summary: Great Movie....if you didnt read the book.
Review: Matt Damon provides for a fast paced, start to finish action movie. The characters provide a realistic and exciting look at the world of the professional assassin. The backdrop of Europe was well done and very entertaining to anyone who has travelled. All and all a great movie. Unfortunately though I read the book. The big screen adaptation is horribly different than the book. The story was amazingly accurate of a genre some twenty years ago, since it was written in 1980. I know the people who I watched the movie with were quite entertained. I wasnt. The screenplay was so different that the screenwriters should have changed the name. Other than the names Jason Bourne, Marie, and Treadstone there is almost no similarity. In some cases, this can be accomplished wonderfully where the Movie gives more life to a rather dull written work. That didnt happen here. Bottomline is that if you read the book, dont spoil your memory. If you didnt read the book, see the movie you'll love it!

Summary: Boring Identity
Review: 5, 10, 15 minutes in I'm thinking this looks really promising. That comes to a train-wreck of an end when Damon eyes a young lady. One cliche after another and their on the road together. The film looks good and is well excecuted by director Doug Liman. The story however is slow and predictable just a short way in to it. The extras are good - including commentary, an alternate ending, and deleted scenes. But the relationship is dumb and it takes the movie down for me. For a good Matt Damon film about relationships however strange they maybe check out 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' co-starring Jude Law.

Summary: slow moving and predictable
Review: this was one of those movies where i knew the ending well in advance. from the previews, you can get the idea of the plot. matt damon plays a man trying to discover who he is. there are people out to kill him for something he did that we have yet to know.
i knew this and yet the movie, i found, was slow because it took almost an hour to get any info about him. i knew he was some spy or something and probably did some dirty deed or maybe refused to do something for someone.
yet the movie saw fit to dwell on this for far too long. i was bored, waiting for the movie to pickup, to explode in action and bring me to edge of my seat. of course this never happened. this was a below average movie in which i found no joy
