Déjà Vu
There's a reason another JURASSIC PARK. hasn't been made...yet: no one wants to see the same movie four times in a row.
The 'BOURNE' series is still profitable. Speaking hypodermicly, six more 'BOURNE' novels could be made into movies.
But the source material isn't the issue. Matt Damon isn't in this one; that's the main problem. I got an idea: how about we make another CITY SLICKERS movie, but Billy Crystal can't have a part in it, otherwise it might become successful.
THE BOURNE LEGACY: Starring Tom Hardy 's Body Double, Jeremy Renner
All the incomprehensible plot points never fully integrates into one coherent story. From what I could tell, the movie involves a scientific researcher going on a murderous rampage. From there, the rest of BOURNE LEGACY is about the protagonist searching for blue pills.
This movie was never boring, but it was never mindful either. There's nothing wrong with a mindless action flick, especially in the summer months. But the 'BOURNE' series was created for thinking people. Much akin to the more recent James Bond movies.
Walking out of THE BOURNE LEGACY left me with many unanswered questions like; how is Stacy Keach still alive? Or, should other people watch this?
Final Verdict: 74 out of 100
