If you watch The Bourne Identity, you realise it didn't need a sequel. It was constructed to exist as a told story, yet keep that door open to explore the mystery surrounding amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne further. The Bourne Supremacy succeeds in being a superior sequel to a very good original by taking what we already had and logically expanding it outward to create a more compelling backstory than we might have imagined. Though directed with a different verve and pace, it takes everything Identity did right and does it with more depth, intelligence and excitement.
Divisive is almost putting it mildly when it comes to Paul Greengrass' direction, all fast cutting, Steadicam jerky action especially when it comes to…

For reasons unknown to me, I had not seen The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum before this. It's very funny too. It's a genre I kind of like, I had read the Ludlum books (though they have almost nothing to do with the films), and I actually really liked the first film. But I never made even the slightest attempt to watch the two Bourne sequels except brief moments here and there. So in preparation for my eventual viewing of The Bourne Legacy, I went ahead and decided to right this supposed wrong.
There's a lot to like in The Bourne Supremacy. It's fast paced, it has an interesting story, a likable lead, and for the most part, everything…

Best of the Bourne series based almost solely on the fight scene in the house between Bourne and that other guy with the rolled up magazine. Wow that scene was brilliantly choreographed and despite the shaky cam, it came off as so real and brutal.

Another good film. Action is good as I expected it to be. Good acting and the story is good as well.

Mejora la primera y tiene una persecución en coche acojonante. Las hostias son aun mas espectaculares.

1a Fortsetzung mit spannender Geschichte und toller handgemachter Action. Wackelkamera stört mich null.

I think my favorite in the trilogy. First 15 minutes of the movie is WTF.

Jason Bourne is Jason Bourne. Though it's the worst of the trilogy in my opinion, it's still action packed and fast paced. And Matt Damon is in it.

Amazing action movie.

It's not often that my wife and I watch films together - at least not films she describes as 'mine'. But she can handle an action flick now and then, and this became one of them. Did we both just die a little?
It's the combination of frenetic editing and shaky camera that makes this film an extremely demanding watch. How big a problem could it be, making the take last for more than one second?
What's with this editing technique anyway. It reminds me sometimes of when we, ourselves, view a city scene, a landscape or something else. We shift our gaze hundreds of times back and forth to take it all in. The brain digests and analyzes all…

Not as cool as the first but still very good. The shaky cam stuff doesn't piss me of either.
