REVIEW
I managed to catch The Bourne Supremacy a couple of days ago on TV watching movies on TV, though frustrating, due to commercials and censoring, always feels so good. You got one for free!
After watching half the movie, though, I remembered: I HAD seen it, and it was so goddamned awful that I managed to block it from my memory. It all came flooding back the cliched settings and gratuitous big budget shots. The ease of killing other people, and the blind luck that seems to open closed doors for Jason Bourne.
Why stop there? Keep going with The Bourne Sound Machine and The Bourne Philly Cheese Steak. Once Upon a Time in Bourne, Bourne, Where’s My Car? and The Unbearable Bourneness of Bourne.
They’re trying to make Bourne into this generation’s Bond, and it seems to be working. I’m planning on getting a Bourne lunchbox, Bourne tighty whiteys and a Bourne Secret Lair Volcano Headquarters (with real lava!).
If you’re getting upset at my defamation of your hero, Matt Damon, here’s a clip from the movie that, I think we can all agree, seems a lot more interesting when there’s no plot and acting surrounding it.
If I had to pick something about the movie that I almost enjoyed, it would be the fine work by Brian Cox, the actor that plays the same crusty old guy in every movie he does. It works, he’s old, he’s crusty and surly.
Everything else, I found, was tiresome, predictable and dull. When action movies are dull, you know you’re in for a rough night which is why I had to turn it off, before I could see the shocking and totally surprising ending. Gasp!
At least, in the 80s, the dialogue was intentionally and hilariously bad. Who could forget Arnie, when a terrorist was holding onto his fighter jet missile, saying ‘You’re fired’ and then firing the missile?
Maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on this film. After all, it does deliver action-filled action, with over 30% more action. There are chapters in exotic locations, like Goa and Berlin. There is even sadness, when the girl dies. And, fortunately, there is an ending, though I didn’t see it but at least we can all look forward to the end credits, playing along to some then popular hit song.
I say
Blaugh! I should have turned the TV off from the beginning and watched anything else.
See it for
You might enjoy the action sequences, if you’re not me. If you ARE me, then no.
