I love this movie so much
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
My kind of movie 100%. Love it. The character interaction& relationship development, plot subtlety, underlying conspiratorial web. So well done. Spot-on perfect by Renner and Weiss. Great ending!!! 10++++++
This was pretty good. A decent story, good stunts and action. I really liked the inclusion of the parallel time line this runs on, with flashes to the three other Jason Bourne movies.The new hero here is Jeremy Renner, a scientifically engineered, genetically enhanced CIA agent who goes on the run when his program is cancelled and everyone included is ordered eliminated. Along the way he kidnaps/rescues the research scientist (Rachel Weisz) who helped create him.The story opens in Alaska where a bearded Renner as Aaron Cross is training 'Rocky 4' style, climbing snow capped mountains, doing tasks in very cold water and hanging out in the snow. Lots of running, some OK fight scenes...not cool Jason Bourne style but good enough. A couple decent chase scenes too with motorcycles through the streets of Manila.Edward Norton is one of the suits trying to take him out from some office headquarters somewhere bland- he doesn't really add much. Stacy Keach is there and all the other series veterans show up as well; Scott Glen, Joan Allen, Albert Finney.
Renner and Weisz were amazing. I was very skeptical of the Bourne series branching off, but it ended up being a great idea. I've watched Legacy a half dozen times and it gets better every time. I actually enjoyed Legacy more than the latest Jason Bourne movie. Would be a travesty if they don't give Renner and Weisz a sequel.
The Bourne Legacy is some kind of an alien. It's somehow related to the Bourne general story and use the same mechanics of the movies.But still there is that feeling of something not really needed. A movie which has been made to keep us entertained while waiting for the real Bourne to come back and as such doesn't bring nothing new to the general plot.I wish it could have been different even if it's still entertaining thanks to the cast general performance. Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton are carrying the movie on their shoulders, keeping it afloat.But this won't change the fact that the script never achieved to really take off and keep us in like the first 3 movies did. The 3 previous movies were served by a script which was always focused on realism. A story about a man struck by amnesia willing to find out who he is only to discover that he's a CIA assassin and he became a high valued liability making him a priority target for his ex-employer.But here it's about one of those CIA recruits, some kind of chemically enhanced super soldier who tries to survive when the CIA decides to shut down the very program he was part of because of Bourne's actions. It seems already weird to see that guy swallowing those mysterious pills and bring some gibberish about it but it becomes clearly out of touch when he has to face that super assassin who would be more fit in Terminator rather than this. What's that? I give a 6 for the cast but besides that, it's definitely not worth the saga.
