I loved the first 3 Bourne movies, so I was inclined to see this new series. It wasn't bad, the action was great in some parts; the plot, while confusing at first, made sense later and was intriguing; the acting was believable. But it just wasn't the same Bourne. Still a good watch though.

What's that got anything to do with Bourne, I have no idea - besides project names and occasional Bourne's face on newscasts, even the main character's names is Aaron Cross, for Christsakes

@bejot I'm sorry, but maybe you should re-watch the movie, the tag line says there was more than one assassin in the program, and we know this anyway from the previous films. This was about the consequences from the actions of Jason Bourne that had on the rest of the assassins still in training through Treadstone, and Black Briar.

@bejot I thought that's obvious - it's his legacy

"Bourne Legacy" continues the story but from the other side, now a new character Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) is thrown into the mix. "Bourne Legacy" is a very entertaining film in its own, but if its compared to previous Bourne films, "Legacy" will fall short. Renner does a great job in this film by bringing a more up tempo character but the story is just not too strong to be a serious sequel to the Bourne films..still a very good film with great action scenes and nice locations.

Much better than it had any right to be thanks in part to its two lead actors (Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz), who work acting miracles with a poor script.

I've always preferred this to the first three Bourne films. None of the films follow the storylines of the books very well, so why penalize this one for adding new material? Especially since the new material is both interesting and thrilling. I had hoped that they would turn this into the start of a new Bourne Universe, but I don't think the newest Bourne film really expands this sufficiently.

The first 30 minutes I'm thinking boy everyone has this wrong. Then it loses steam and I'm out. Okay movie.

Pretty disappointed to be honest. It was a good movie but the one and pacing just didn't fit the exciting Bourne formula.

This is definitely not a legacy. Poor imitation of the original trilogy.

Don't understand why people didn't like the movie. It's as good as the rest of this franchise. It also has a great twist. I guess people didn't like that the main character was replaced.

I liked it; I admit to being confused in the beginning and thinking they had replaced Matt Damon with Jeremy Renner. It took awhile (for me) to figure out that Renner's character is not Jason Bourne being played by a different actor, but a completely different character. Like some have mentioned in other comments, if you watch this as a standalone, it's a good movie. It's a bit of a stretch, however, to try tying this one in to with the other _Bourne_ movies. Way too many gaps, not enough backstory to fill in the blanks, etc. As an action movie, though, it definitely proves to be a very watchable movie.

"Then it fell apart..." In an attempt to revive the Bourne series the mantle is passed to a new character in The Bourne Legacy. In the wake of Jason Bourne's escapades the military burns its own super spy program, but one spy is able to escape and goes on the run. Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton form a solid cast and give strong performances. However, the directing is remarkably poor; it lacks focus and it isn’t able to maintain the suspense and intensity needed for an action thriller. Additionally, the writing is especially weak and inconstant, creating a convoluted plot that's hard to get invested in. The Bourne Legacy is a senseless and underwhelming sequel that delivers on the action, but that's all it does.

This is a typical Bource film but... without anything that made the Bourne Trilogy a good series of Movies.

Exactly this. If it didn't had the name 'Bourne' on it, people probably would have liked it much more.

I was kind of disappointed with this film. It seemed like to me they substituted action scenes for more dialogue. I am though a fan of Renner and love most of the movies he has been in; he is definitely making his way to become a super action star. With that said his Aaron Cross is no Jason Bourne and because of this I felt the film was missing something great. You really can't do a Bourne film without Damon's Jason Bourne in it, it just isn't the same. While the action was geared down in favor for the story, I also felt the plot line was a little weak as well and wasn't compelling as the original trilogy.

I liked how this movie tied into the Bourne universe. How the events in Bourne ultimatum had repercussions, how there were hearings.... And then it just stopped. What is the outcome of the hearings? Byers doesn't seem to be the type to let something slide, so were they trying to set up a new series of movies?

That's the part of the movie, that didn't deliver for me. Otherwise I considered it pretty solid. I can't say it was lacking in action scenes. And I wouldn't say it was dialogue heavy. What are people expecting these days?!

This is what you get if your main character is not on the movie. This is the story from other side.

many don't like this movie because it doesn't have bourne in it....but they have to understand it's not about bourne ...it's about all the hidden black operations which are related to treadstone...it is not action packed like the previous films of this franchise..it is dialogue heavy..and sometimes slow paced..lack of action was kinda let down though...i don't hate this movie, but i don't love it either....sorry for that...
