The recent one in 2016 just returned to netflix.

As a teen I used to love these movies but I can't stand them now. I like Matt Damon but the action and shaky camera is straight up terrible.

Never watched the Jeremy Renner one nor the 2016 one with Matt Damon's return

They definitely aged really poorly. I think it's because so much of the appeal was the novelty factor at the time. They came out when the last tough guy anyone cared about was Pierce Brosnan playing James Bond. And then you get Jason Bourne who looks completely normal and lacks charisma and doesn't do anything fancy but he just fucks shit up immediately.

But now we have John Wick and Bryan Mills and a host of other franchises cashing in on this idea.

The shaky camera and intensity became a real gimmick, though.

The 2016 one was fine. But it was shot to be part one of a new trilogy and didnt do the numbers they wanted so they ended it there.

i don't even mind the shaky cam stuff, the Bourne franchise is still one of my all-time favorite movie franchises, probably my single favorite action movie franchise
How are the new ones

Damn so its like that. They should be thankful for the numbers they got, considering it was a franchise brought back after a decade

I have the ultimate collection set but I never felt compelled to rewatch that one again. It was a soulless cash grab with literally nothing original or fresh repeating the same formula and caricatures from the previous movies.

The camerawork for the Vegas strip chase was so shockingly bad in comparison to the trilogy and even the spinoff.

Not surprised considering its existence was purely for money.

Finished Bourne legacy. Lol that movie really takes me back to the 2000s era when they were trying to show how secretive the government is with all the spy programs and whatnot

Supremacy is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen

The whole "keep sending agents to get killed by Bourne" was a bit stupid, especially when (iirc) most of the time he wasn't a threat to them

Oh the irony. It used to be the most highly rated and critically lauded one of the trilogy
