Yup, it has been showing at local cinemas for more than a week, and i have been ignoring it. It just looked... unappealing. I haven't watched The Bourne Identity, and though I've seen The Bourne Supremacy, and found it fairly enjoyable, i thought it was nothing extraordinary--- maybe because I only watched it in my laptop during one of those benign duties during my clinical clerkship. I know that The Bourne Ultimatum is an action movies, but i though that it would be one of those incredibly talk type of action movie, with lengthy expositions that bog down the action sequences. Reviews saying it's an intelligent action movie further lessened my interest. Plus, it has been years since I've seen the second movie in the series. I might get lot in all that talk because I seem to have retained very little of the back story.
There's a lack of quality movies in cinemas these days--- and since some friends have been recommending this movie, i went ahead and watched it. I'm so glad I did! I was literally blown away! I haven't seen an action movie like this in years! Every action scene felt very real, and there are so many action sequences, each one of them capable of taking one's breath away. Sure there are narrative sequences, but they don't get in the way of the action. They complement each action scene by building the suspense. I loved the movie so much, I'm planning to watch the first movie, and watch the second movie again, on DVD. I might have missed out on a lot of stuff. This is one movie where the critics and ordinary viewers agreed--- everyone seems to recommend this movie! If I were a legitimate critic, I'd give this movie 5 stars out of 5. Highly recommended!
