The Movie: The Bourne Ultimatum, directed by Paul Greengrass
Recommendation: Me
Reason: My love for the first two movies is great. Had to see the third.
I'm so fond of Paul Greengrass's work (what I've seen of it). Unlike most people, I'm a fan of the shakycam approach to fights, though I can certainly see their complaints about it. It's a stylistic choice most directors wouldn't make. I think Greengrass's camerawork is good more often than it's bad.
As usual, the plot was solid and the action thoroughly interesting. They delved deeper (as usual) into Bourne's past, giving him further depth. I'm on the fence over Nicky-I don't know if she's quite as interesting a character as Marie. I think she has potential though, as long as it's properly developed.
Matt Damon as Jason Bourne continues to be perfect casting. He has a real presence and sense of the character-it's his performance that ties all the goodness of these movies together. If there is a fourth one (and I might actually be on board for that), I think he could keep up the trend.
