2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

dianetransloading My kind of movie 100%. Love it. The character interaction& relationship development, plot subtlety, underlying conspiratorial web. So well done. Spot-on perfect by Renner and Weiss. Great ending!!! 10++++++

kirbygame Renner and Weisz were amazing. I was very skeptical of the Bourne series branching off, but it ended up being a great idea. I've watched Legacy a half dozen times and it gets better every time. I actually enjoyed Legacy more than the latest Jason Bourne movie. Would be a travesty if they don't give Renner and Weisz a sequel.

iganboas I felt the need to defend this movie, as it is not at all a bad film; au contraire, it's a very good one, and I personally find it to be better than its two immediate predecessors.From a storytelling point of view, I find that Supremacy and Ultimatum, while both are very good movies, follow the same standard formula first established in 2002 by Identity, and therefore, they lack the originality factor (yes, I know they're based on the Robert Ludlum novels, but I've never read any of them, so my critique stands), whereas I feel Legacy tells an original story in the already established world that feels fresh and plausible: it tells the story of a black ops agent from another project similar to Treadstone called Operation Outcome, and how the events of the first three films affect him and everyone else involved in Outcome.The action is filmed just as badly as in Supremacy and Ultimatum, where the quick cuts, the shakiness and the weird camera angles make it very hard for you to understand what's going on. The locations on this movie, however, might be the most spectacular yet in the first 4 Bourne films, in particular the Alaskan wilderness.The characters in this film are great and relatable, and the performances, specially from Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz, are amazing. The chemistry between the two was spot on.Edward Norton serves the part as the evil government guy in the computer room chasing our hero that we've come to expect from the Bourne films already. The film is tense and intriguing and keeps you invested in the story. You genuinely care about our two leads and their outcome (no pun intended).In conclusion, this film is a welcome entry in the series, and brings in a much needed breath of fresh air to the saga. Really hope to see Aaron Cross coming back and teaming up with Jason Bourne at some point in the future. Definitely go see this one, guys.

Screen_Blitz The Bourne trilogy not only made a stellar contribution to the action genre but effectively established Matt Damon as an unlikely action hero. From it's versatile mix of pulse-pounding thrills and adrenaline-charged action sequences, there is little wonder to why The Bourne trilogy has become a franchise cinema junkies have come to love. But some may ask: was a fourth installment all that necessary? While the franchise has virtually ran it's course required to sustain it as a firmly consistent series, a fourth installment (or perhaps a spin-off) would necessarily be a burden. However, this action thriller goes slightly different direction, taking its focus off the enigmatic Jason Bourne character and bogging down on an all new action hero set. It then all comes down to a plot limited with only narrative connections to the previous films In the process, this involves pulling director Paul Greengrass of the previous two films and the veteran lead Matt Damon out of the picture and substituting Tony Gilroy as director and Jeremy Renner as lead actor. Set shortly after the events of 'The Bourne Ultimatum', the film stars Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, an agent of a Black Ops agency known as Operation Outcome who are set to expose the sinister agency known as Operation Treadstone who were pursuing after Jason Bourne in the previous films. When it's successor Company known as Blackbriar operated by Colonol Eric Byer (played by Edward Norton) conspire to eliminate him, Cross goes on the run with biochemist Dr. Marta Shearing (played by Rachel Weisz) to take them down.It is understandable that moviegoers everywhere were met with skepticism upon learning that Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass would not be making their return. After all, it can be somewhat hard to fully engage in a newly introduced lead character following the departure of a veteran protagonist who was easily more charismatic. Shockingly though, this stand alone sequel carries a surprising amount for an entry veering off in a slightly unfamiliar territory for the franchise. Jeremy Renner boasts a fairly versatile flair as the freshman action hero Aaron Cross as he sets out to face off against the sinister consequences. Predictably so, he doesn't quite pack the same visceral spirit Matt Damon demonstrated in the trilogy. Nonetheless, he shows off an incredible adrenaline-fueled testosterone that gratefully stands out from the somewhat muddled script. Director Tony Gilroy who served as the writer for the previous Bourne films sets up a nice premise during the first half building up firm connections to 'The Bourne Ultimatum' with Jason Bourne only verbally mentioned several times throughout. The only problem is that the story is bit exposition-heavy for nearly half of it's two and a quarter-hour runtime and at times a bit too talky to the point where it falls victim to an occasionally slug pacing. And the fun doesn't quite takeoff until the final half-hour when we reach a climatic action sequence. From there on, that is when we watch Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz on the run as bullets starts flying and cars starts flipping. These two easily catch the eyes in the midst of the large cast including Edward Norton is given very little to do offer than conspiring the plot to kill the lead character.The Bourne Legacy may fall shallow to the original Jason Bourne trilogy in terms of direction, it still boasts a surprising amount of entertainment enough to distract viewers from the unfavorable absence of Matt Damon's Jason Bourne. In conclusion, it is a slick action thrill ride that works fine even if Tony Gilroy's script and direction suffer in a few areas.
