El legado de Bourne

Es tan necesaria para la serie de Bourne como El dragón rojo para la serie de Hannibal Lecter. Un suspenso estadounidense repleto de estrellas y bien hecho. Pero sin una interacción excepcional de un protagonista interesante, un enfoque de dirección original y una trama cautivadora, no tiene ninguna posibilidad de superar a sus predecesores. Es demasiado corriente y no es diferente de las películas sobre agentes, por ejemplo, con Harrison Ford, que con el tiempo solo se convierten en un buen relleno para la televisión. Enriquecieron el género Greengrass pero no lo movieron a ningún lugar. (03.09.2012)

Simplemente nunca me convertiré en fan de la serie Bourne. Ni siquiera la participación de mis favoritos E. Norton, R. Weisz y el simpático J. Renner me ayudó, así que supongo que nada me sorprenderá. Me quedé dormido después de veinte minutos, un lobo y mi novia en el asiento de al lado me despertaron, luego aburrimiento de nuevo, una escena de acción decente, más aburrimiento, otra escena de acción decente, y así sigue hasta el final, que culmina con una escena de acción aburrida en Manila. Desafortunadamente, la mejor canción de toda la serie para mí es la canción principal de Moby. (21.08.2012)

Very decent. Bourne's Legacy blends tastefully with the third part of the Bourne trilogy without parasitizing it. It suffers from a very lukewarm start, but from about the 30th minute onwards, action follows action and everything culminates in a half-hour continuous set-piece in the Philippines. Jeremy Renner stood with honour up to a possible comparison with Matt Damon. That said, I won't be looking forward to the next piece of this spy puzzle, the Bourne universe has been gnawed to the bone by this film. (10.08.2012)

I was probably the only one in my wide circle of friends who went to the movie theater not to see the new Bourne, but to see the new Gilroy film. Unfortunately, I got it exactly backward. I'm beginning to worry that Michael Clayton was a successful fluke because this is a poorly directed spectacle that doesn't know whether it wants to be a personal drama about two individuals facing the all-powerful tentacles of the government octopus or an action-packed sprint for freedom. It doesn't step into either for even a minute and thus from the moment of "Forrest Gump on drugs," it definitely breaks down into grey tedium. This hurts all the more when the viewer realizes that although Gilroy has sketched out a world of almost limitless possibilities, he takes the path of least resistance, i.e., he goes in the direction of a copied scheme that compresses the previous three films into one two-hour film. I understand that Frank Marshall knows what kind of money can be made from the brand, but next time he should at least put an impactful dramaturgist on the set. It's not just Moby who failed here. 2 and a ½. (22.08.2012)

The problem with the reference is not that it is badly filmed or coordinated, the problem is that the real Bourne reference does not go anywhere - Cross has only a loose relationship to the main storyline of the trilogy, and he himself does not bring any major themes and twists and the most interesting (i.e., the other destinies of Pamela Landy and her duel with the system) goes from "something bad will probably happen" to "something bad really has happened". In the meantime, we are watching a not-so-dazzling pilgrimage of an excellently coordinated character without the secret of pills. The final question, "are we lost?", which the heroine asks the hero, is quite relevant. It's hard to say what will happen to the characters and whether the whole reference is just a spite project to show naughty renegades that it will work without them. Trodding around the main storyline proves it. Otherwise, it’s OK. Some scenes are great (the entire fight in the house, the episode in Alaska), others reveal that Gilroy should not push into a Greengrass kinetic ride, for which he has no skill or level (the whole final chase with the oblique-eyed Terminator). Just a useless movie in a pretty bearable way. (13.08.2012)
