I don't think this is a great movie, it's not even better than the first.


The positives are the same as in part one. The movie looks believable, it's not over the top. The stunts are practical and still look good today. But the story is flawed from the beginning on. It's constructed to fit a certain need and because of that is illogical.


[spoiler] No one in the whole CIA questions why on earth a trained super assassin like Bourne leave his fingerprint at a scene. That's the door slammed shut for me right there. It takes until the middle of the movie until some low assistant recognized that and instantly get killed. That's a prime example for a plot to fit a need.
Of course we have bad Russians and a US Government official working with them. That already wasn't original fifteen years ago.
And Marie's death only surves the purpose to remove her from the story so Bourne can go on his business. It had no weight and/or emotional impact at all. If not for the final scene in the first part there wouldn't be a reason for her to be in this at all. [/spoiler]

What can I say, it's how I see it.
