The Bourne Ultimatum.

Now that the Bourne franchise is expanding even further than the original three films that were made within a few years of each other I felt that it was time to watch the third film and maybe even the fourth to prepare for the new installment: 'Jason Bourne' that is coming to cinemas in the UK very soon.

Jason Bourne, the ultimate weapon, the guy that can take down a handful of opponents without even breaking a sweat. Bourne or Liam Neeson? I'm not really sure but I would love to find out your opinion!
There were moments of De Ja Vu, like when he is talking to Pamela Landey on the phone roughly at 1 hr 15 mins. At that point you would be forgiven for having to double check that you had actually chosen the right film and that you weren't watching Supremacy instead of Ultimatum. Every Bourne film is similar, like every James Bond they contain a lot of action and killing people, meeting up with people, being chased and escaping multiple times. Roughly you know the script and we have to remember that these are films based on the Robert Ludlum books. Ludlum keeps writing more which allows Hollywood to keep making more and for Matt Damon to keep going as Bourne. Damon has kept up his physique so he can easily return to the role at any point.

This film builds up as the ending of the trilogy, Bourne discovers who he was, who he is and most importantly he can now remember everything about himself. The directors and script writers did not write this film with another one in mind so whoever took charge of legacy will need to be very clever about how they approach the film. The character of Bourne will change- will they turn him into a 'Magneto' character that keeps having their loved ones killed off or will they simply use him as a man who now knows fully who he is but doesn't care? He has beaten everyone, CIA, NSA and most other foreign agencies, people thought he was dead and now they may just have to give up and let him go. The problem with creating the perfect soldier is that if they are non-complient, can you actually kill them? There will come a point when you make something that you can't control if it doesn't want to be controlled.

'This is where it started for me, this is where it ends'. The words came out of his mouth so really we should honour that statement. As far as it goes for Bourne finishing what he started in the first film- this is the end.

Excited for the next film. So many questions!!
