Bourne Ultimatum is a must see movie if you like the Bourne series. I went to see it this afternoon and I was not let down at all. It held true and in my eyes to the intense, non-stop action and thick plot. I actually think Ultimatum was the best of the three and was more intense as in non-stop. It just never was slow. Matt Damon has just taken on the identity of Jason Bourne and he just makes the movie! He is not this huge buff guy or what one would see as a huge action actor. He just fits Jason Bourne though and plays it so well. You focus on the actual thick plot of the series and the entangled story that it spells out and this casual guy is the star of the movie. Amazing work.

The ending? I can not complain. I looked at the credits rolling and thought to myself that I am content. I didn’t feel it was that bad of a cliff hanger and leaves you with enough hope of it to continue. I was pleased Jason found his end. That is as much of a spoiler as I will give.

Matt Damon has already told the press he is done with Bourne and does not see playing the part again. However, he said this while still filming. I can understand where you reach the end of something and don’t want to beat it to death and as he said in this film Jason figures himself out and that is what the series is based on, the story is complete. There is nothing left. Is there nothing left? Damon did leave hope though as he said if they came up with a completely different angle and it was good he would go for it again.

This film has so far beat the first two films by a landslide. How can they walk away? I really hope they twist this and go into another direction. We love Jason Bourne and want more. I don’t think it should be rushed. Really they had these three movies spaced out well. It just worked. I think films such as The Matrix did not do so well in that department. The Matrix was an amazing movie, the second was okay but the third one just sucked. The first was so loaded with plot and action and as you progress in the movies it lost its touch. As if it was just thrown together to get it into the theater for the paychecks. It got down right cheesy.

Ultimatum? Anything but cheesy or thrown together. The plot as I said is non-stop and keeps you tuned in. Brilliant screenplay and a huge thumbs up.
