i love these fucking movies.the bourne identity had me hook line and sinker, as did the second, so it's only logical that the third follow suit. i love movies that make me think, get me excited, and get me hot and bothered (thanks mr. damon!), all at the same time! i think the cinematography of all three of these movies is exceptional. i feel it has the rare ability to get a common feeling across in a unique way. i can't really describe it, i just feel it when i'm watching it.
mr. damon delivered a nearly perfect performance and has solidified his standing in my book of favorite actors, ever. i enjoy his sexy brooding much more than i probably should. i also like how in person (and by in person i mean in interviews i've seen him give) he seems like such a genuinely down to earth, happy and nice man, yet he can deliver performances like that of jason bourne and his character in the departed. and in the talented mr. ripley. (see it!!!!!) i really admire him for his ability to literally become a completely different person. just like jonny depp. (shameless plug, i know)
julia stiles was good. i'm glad she came back. i liked how she mirrored marie's dilemma (choosing to help bourne, putting herself in danger, cutting her hair in the bathroom) but how she chose a different path; the right one for her. maybe [in the next movie] she'll come back and screw bourne (we all know she wants him), but who knows!?
david strathairn, as the merciless fascist asshole, joan allen, as the bitch who does the right thing, and albert finny, as the creepy omniscient voice were all terrific. i enjoyed each of their contributions equally.
i liked the ending a lot. everyone got what he/she deserved. noah got his ass carted off to jail. landy became a hero. hirsch didn't get his star in langley. nicky got a cool haircut and a potential boyfriend and bourne got to live. the only thing i'd really like to know is the history between jason and nicky. were they lovers? enemies? or just coworkers? i smell a 4th movie.
there better be a 4th movie.
