Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Jeremy Renner plays a government assasin who is deliberately infected with a virus to enhance his combat strength. This assasin program is terminated and all the agents in the program are killed. Jeremy Renner however escapes and tries to detox himself from the virus the government has infected him with. The chase to capture Jeremy Renner is what's this story and ALL Bourne movies are about. And the chase sequences are truly spectacular and among the very best in action movie history. The Gilroy family, (director, editor, screenplay, production) made this Bourne edition one of the best sequels. Total creative control in the hands of this Gilroy family and that pays off. Jeremy Renners performance in Bourne Nr 4 is very original and fresh. And director Tony Gilroy is to be thanked for that. This director is the same man who wrote EVERY screenplay of all the Bourne movies and the very same feel of excitement of Bourne's debut Nr 1 is back in this Number 4 edition which Gilroy directed himself.Let's mention a terrific cast: Jeremy Renner has got it. Difficult to imagine a Bourne movie without Matt Damon? I didnt miss him for a second in this edition. Then there is Rachel Weisz, the ever charming and talented actress. Splendid performance. Then a list of supporting roles that make your eyes ache: Edward Norton, Oscar Isaac, Stacey Keach. I dare say that this 4th edition of Bourne has got the best acting in it of the entire series. From leading to supporting roles everybody is very impressive. Photography is done by the legendary Robert Elswitt who conjurs up the most beautiful pictures. Really a master at work. Music and editing dance with eachother in this movie, what a joy to watch and listen!Number 4 in the Bourne series is realistic, fast and reeling with suspense. Furiously gripping from beginning to end. Terrific acting performances and the second best in directing of the entire series. The best direction is still to be found in the very first Bourne movie. Nothing can beat that, although fans that do prefer action above acting, often regard the second Bourne movie as the best. Choose your pick...

After the trilogy with starring Jason Bourne, the Bourne saga makes a change that many fans have left behind, The Bourne Legacy that would have another protagonist and would tell but the history of the Bourne universe, well the result was predicted, a medium film, The cast is good, Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton and etc, but Matt Damon has always been the great protagonist of the saga, a film without it does not work, and this movie was the proof, even though I'm not a fan of the saga, it's It is undeniable that this The Bourne Legacy almost spoils the franchise, even though it is not a bad movie, but it was not necessary, Tony Gilroy's direction is medium, the script has several problems, weak dialogues, unnecessary moments, some action scenes until good , But nothing surprising, and the pace is slow, where it is a tiring, The Bourne Legacy is a medium movie, not bad enough, but should not have existed. Note 5.6

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.

Unlike some, I do really enjoyed this Renner/Bourne flic!There are few flaws in this movie, and on the whole it is a delightful romp!Rachel Weisz as the heroine, Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, the main character, and Edward Norton as the opposition, is a powerful mix.Really nice movie for us who love action movies. Enjoyed every minute of it, from the very first scene, to the last!Amazing action by Rachel, and as good by Jeremy, and the wolves are not bad either!A fresh approach to action movies, drastically different from the previous Bourne flics, but they are too favourites of mine!
