The Bourne Supremacy

[alien amp pharm]

One awful thing about Bourne Supremecy was the camera.

I realize what they are trying to do with the moving and shaking of the camera during fight scenes and car chases, but it was in excess to the point of making a person puke.

i'm with jerseyart on this one. of course, it's often true that a good book will not end up as a good movie. there are notable exceptions...the godfather, for example. considered one of the greatest films of all time, but i don't think the novel itself was considered all that good. maybe that's an assumption though, because i've read one of mario puzo's other novels (the last don) and it was an utter piece of horseshit.

anyway, i like watching films after having read the books that they're based upon, so i can compare. but it's usually a disappointment for me.

i've read the bourne identity and the bourne supremacy (and a few others of ludlum's)...he's definitely considered a legend/master when it comes to this genre. the books themselves are good popular fiction, page-turners if you will, but not my idea of really good writing.

as for the movies...when i saw the bourne identity...my reaction was almost immediate and strong. that movie sucked. matt damon could never play that role, he's just wrong for it from the beginning (too young, for starters). his delivery of lines is great...for an average kid. and the way they changed the storyline was too much for me.

i'm sure this one will suck too. it can't be helped. good fight scenes and chase sequences perhaps...

identity was one of my favorite movies

I am glad I didn't read the book

I read books about how to make money

I watch movies to get out of reality

amp pharm is right about the camera in this movie

it was waaaay too shakey.

you start to see his transformation from killer to wise older guy. it was much sadder than the first movie.

didn't particulary like in your face camera angles that made things blurry / dizzy during fight/chase scenes...besides that, like the movie alot.

The 2nd Bourne movie is based 0.01% on the book. The book was so much better.

In the book, you nearly pissed your pants when Bourne had to watch as the Bourne Imposter turned his friend over to the other people and they decapitated him.

Gotta agree on that one, at first I thought it was the 6 gallons of hot grease that gave me in the place of popcorn, but it was the camera action.

Great movie though! (still don't buy Damon as a badass)

I saw it yesterday. I enjoyed it- they managed to make it more violent than the first movie. I needed to have a dose of furious action. It seemed cheap that they used the same Moby song and credit design at the end of the movie.

Those of you who don't see Damon as a badass should imagine the stunt double in his place.
