One of the things that I admire about the Borne movies, is how I feel connected to the action... in most of my old favorite Bond flicks... they're fun, but you always feel like you're watching a show. "Shaky-Cam" is reaching high-art. Have you ever heard speed metal or some insanely quick house-music, and at first thought it was stupid, and then something clicks and you begin to appreciate the skill behind it?...

Finally saw some of the films recommended. That Holly Mountain I admit was pretty weird, but I was not prepared for Eraser Head, wow... that is on a whole other level of weirdness... I don't think I'll ever be the same after watching this. It got me to wonder as I watch a few of these movies, I wonder while the Acting is going on, do some of the Actors think to themselves while performing the scenes or even afterwards, "What...

Well, Picard doesn't always blow something up, but he is pretty bloodthirsty if you think about it.

Boy I hope this thread doesn't turn into the Rape of Indy flame!!! TB

Saw it today and thoroughly enjoyed it. The new Bond movies remind me why it's still fun to go see a movie at the theater.

I liked the story and it had a couple really great moments (one involving the lottery at the hotel ) but the editing really drove me nuts. Shakycam doesn't really bother me much at all and seeing the Bourne films in a theater never phased me in the slightest, but so many of the really good looking shots in this film just got cut way faster than I would've liked (reminded me of Tony Scott, the only major director I just outright...

Just saw it. Action scenes where cut too fast to actually see any of the action. Like what was that move with the anchor on the rope? It went by too fast to see what he did. It was ok, but it lacked one thign that has generally been nice and clear in bond movies (even if there have been twists, there has always been): a defined mission. I hope that with the closing scene, they can leave behind all the "personal drama"...

Not the Bond people grew up with but I really liked it. The only reason I went was because I kept hearing people talk about the action sequences. So I had no expectations for this to be good or bad, nor did I care. I just wanted to view this from an academic point of view of what's the current standard for a big budget action movie. Mostly from a cinematographical standpoint. It feels very modern to me. Very Bourne Ultimatum style...

Man that director must really like the idea that the world is ending.
