Over the past three nights DH, Mark and I have been watching the Bourne trilogy. DH and I tried to get the first two in the series to watch over the Christmas break, and they were always out, so we finally managed to get a hold of them on Friday and started on Saturday, the same evening that Mark arrived to stay with us while he took a modular class.I must say after having watched them three nights in a row - I enjoyed the first one the best of them all. I think there was more interpersonal dynamics that made it a better film, though I know that the men I watched it with probably enjoyed the action of the second two more. I was a mite disappointed and somewhat bored during the last one as I was thinking how many more car chase scenes where the assassin was in a bigger vehicle, but Bourne was in a car that is totally smashed up and still walks away unscathed and the assassin doesn't can I take? And though we find out exactly how he got into Treadstone and the back story there, there are some threads left hanging with his former personal life that I, as a woman, wish were all sewn up nicely. I wish that I was not left thinking what happened next at the end of a movie. I liked that the first one could have been left without a sequel, in my mind it was wrapped up, except for his memory which I though he was better off without those memories.
Anyways, that's just my take on it. A good movie with a lot of good action, but nothing original.

i'm glad to know i'm not the only one who thought the 3rd movie was too many car chases. i also was getting kinda bored by the end. the first and second were best in my opinion. i was kinda worried at the end of the 3rd that they might possibly try to create a th. i hope not!
Me too! No third - let it go with this.
