    I loved the movie. A lot of great action, and awesome chase scene.. The onl thing I was disappointed with was the ending. Can't wait for the next one.

    Bourne Legacy, well worth it

    by dahandyguy

    Thoroughly enjoyed the Bourne Legacy, the movie had an excellent plot and, although sometimes the jumping around was a bit overdone, it ultimately tied the movie together quite well. The Bourne Legacy is more of a suspense movie than the previous Bourne movies, with less action scenes, but very well done.

    by justicejp

    This is a terrific movie... not as introspective as the Lead character is not as introspective as Jason Bourne,, but good beginning.. hope there are two more to make a trilogy!

    It's no Legacy

    by Richopine

    I think the cast did a great job with what they were given in this movie. It felt to me like it lacked depth and seemed fragmented. When the music began playing just before the credits started rolling I was stunned. It literally felt like they ended it in the middle. I guess that's what you get when you try to make an entire movie about a guy trying to re-up on his "meds". This movie is a good example why you take the red pill instead of the blues (or greens)!

    The Franchise Survives, But Is Not Thriving.

    by jaylemeux

    It was passable. But it's not clear how long this can continue. Legacy continues the trend toward larger plot holes and less disciplined realism that began with Ultimatum.

    Unless there's some great turnaround, it seems clear that this is the last watchable gasp of the franchise. Might as well get your fill now while the getting is good.

    "Bourne" Again

    by Hoser34

    I thought Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton, and Rachel Weisz were terrific and because there were 3 different story lines going on that eventually tied together the body of the movie it had enough action sequences spaced throughout to hold the audience interest for the 2 hr 15 min running time. I am glad that Matt Damon was "replaced" by the fine actor and acting job that Jeremy Renner did throughout the movie.

    Bourne A Legend

    by dr123hall

    What a great follow up movie ... super action, great story even if you have not seen the previous flicks. I am a Robert L. fan and after reading some dull witted reviews almost passed on this one. Big Mistake. Better of all the previous efforts! Renner makes a believable science experiment and Weitz is way good as a scientist doing science. Ed Norton is the real deal playing the persistent government agency spark-plug! The story is fully developed with excellent past history framing. Bourne Legacy never has a dull moment from the opening til the beautiful finale. Every single actor (thanks to Chenoweth)is a handpicked gem. Enjoy knowing the cast is first flight and the storyline is about as close to reality as it gets ... Take the Red Pill.

    Good movie overall

    by mikegang

    the movie can be little confusing at the beginning and then it once that is over. Good action begin. with little slow character development in the middle. Liked the way they tried to tie the bourne story with this movie.
    the Jeremy Renner preformance was good but his character was not as smooth at Bourne. With bourne was a cool character that you never knew what to expect. You could see some ot it in parts of it.

    Bourne Legach

    by rwpsmart

    Fast, heart stoping, no nonsense and makes the viewer think of our world today if this situation ever came to light. You find yourself cheering, laughing, and then wanting more after you see that even your own can become the enemy.
    The action was focused, the cinematography was intense and the writing was fantastic. The idea of a government working for the country to also be looked as the enemy can make one really sit up and wonder, should I be more in tune with my own governement and what they are doing?

    Andddddd?

    by

    As many of the others, I loved the first three Bourne movies! This looked like it would be a great continuation... Not so much... Not so much action, not so much of an interesting plot and not so much of good ending. I left like I was cheated out of an ending. Couldn't believe that the other 'super-spy' didn't even fight...
    Blah.

    Bourne 4 sets up for new franchise

    by wgm52grits

    Jeremy Renner brings a touch of humor to his Bourne 2.0 character Aaron Cross. The writers spoon feed you this is what and how and why, so new characters and new ideas are explained - except for why Foite goes nuts. There were times when the dialogue is so softly spoken one strains to hear -- not sure if this is the movie or our theater. As a motorcyclist, I found some of the stunts to be a trifle unbelievable because had all of these stunts occurred in real time, that bike would not have been able to remain balanced. All in all, though, a good movie, and clearly set up for Bourne 5.

    Bourne Legacy

    by sammysgal

    Great movie, but not as good as the other Bourne movies with the Jason Bourne character with Matt Damon. The ending sets up great though for another Bourne movie in the future with the character Jason Bourne!! Cannot wait to see the next one!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend seeing this movie!

    The Bourne Legacy

    by pbarryhollar

    Well written and the cast was great. Lots of action and an interesting story. Similar to the previous Bourne movies but my grandson and I thought it was better than the other movies.

    Are u bored of Bourne???????

    by sdoravec123

    I'm not!!!!! It was a great action flick with a different concept then the other previous. Movies. Of course its because Matt Damon didn't want to be in it of the original director wasn't directing it. Overall it was a believable plot and I would say go go go
