The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews (Good)

    • "A more refined game of hide-and-seek than that of its predecessors, The Bourne Ultimatum offers up the kind of globe-trotting cat-and-mouse thrills that feel too good to be true..."
    • "The movie is thunderously exciting... We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on."
    • "Director Paul Greengrass, who also made "Supremacy," gets his kicks from turning every set into a maze of suspense, be it a packed London train station, a labyrinthine Moroccan medina or a blaring Manhattan street corner. Somehow, he also manages to tie up loose ends from all three movies, propelling us to an entirely satisfactory finish"
    • "As fast-paced and far-flung as the previous films (Bourne and his various pursuers hop from Turin to Paris, London to New York, Madrid to Tangiers, staying barely long enough to get their fake passports stamped) and just as action-packed, "The Bourne Ultimatum" is in some ways the most psychological film of the three, reminiscent in some ways of "The Manchurian Candidate.""

The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews (Bad)

    • "Good? Who could tell? It's like watching french fries crackle amid a spew of hot bubbles in the back of a McDonald's. Do the actors act? Again, you got me. Does it make sense? Ask the scriptwriters, they'd probably know. Does it give you a headache? Hmm, about the size of beautiful downtown Rockville."
    • "With virtually every sequence shot like a battlefield documentary -- from a jerky hand-held camera framed extremely closely -- and edited like an MTV music video, the movie is so surreal it's just not very involving. As an action extravaganza, it's busy but dull."
