Jason Bourne (Blu-Ray) 2016

I am awaiting the arrival of the trilogy of the Bourne series . Looking forward to see it in the order of movies released. Hopefully by this friday 31st Jan, 2020 should receive the trilogy.

If you've to end a franchise, this is the way to do it. Great film and Matt Damon on 5* form.

Just when you thought this franchise had run out of steam here comes Matt Damon again (also as a producer by the way) to kick start it again. There is brand placing (Dell computers an obvious case) and lots of stunts and vehicle chases. Filming on locations is fabulous, and as it is an American film they tell you where in the world it is, unless the location is in America when they only mention the state. The initial mayhem in Athens (Greece) is superb and then we move on to London (United Kingdom) passing through Reykavik (Iceland), Rome (Italy) and Germany to end up in Las Vegas (Nevada) with what appears to be an indestructible car driven by Jason along accross wrong way etc along the Strip.Lots of shooting, knuckle fights and Mr. Damon aging gracefully. Lots of characters die so is there another film coming?Rumour has it that the next one will be called JB...

Returning to the style of the original Bourne films. We enjoyed watching the movie but were saddened that there was no director's commentary.The only problem we had with the movies was some bad dubbing during the opening scenes in Greece. I imagine this was done in the studio as the on-site noise must have been a bit too messy. Unfortunately, it did sound clunky and turned lines that probably sounded great when said at the time into something that sounds a bit too plastic - like the voice-overs you get on radio adds.But ... that was the only bit that distracted, the rest of the movie was good and took things back to the original style, which is welcome as we feel that they kind of drifted a little bit lost as to what they were trying to be.The item arrived quickly with Amazon Prime in one of their standard DVD cardboard pillow packs.

Okay I will admit it, I'm such a fan of all the Bourne films so I am easily pleased and yes the story-line is not as tight as the first three films but there have been worse sequels. But there are some huge whoppers that can't be ignored in the fact these films are always embracing the modern technology and in the Bonus features of this film that is what the director felt needed to be updated 10 years on, considering the files on Jason Bourne have been dissected and investigated the new information that kick starts the film is not as credible really. (Don't want to cause spoilers for people) I did fully enjoy the fight sequences and the car chases once again which is such a huge part of the Bourne Franchise. So like other reviews have mentioned the film has not fulfilled the normal excellent standard Bourne fans come to expect but it still is enjoyable to watch.
