Reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum

Although the picture doesn't really do much except run and jump and punch and explode, it does all those things extremely well, and is viscerally very exciting.
08/02/07
It's frenetic to the point of crazy while achieving a mark that barely exceeds mediocre.
08/02/07
Top CriticDamon, however, is perfect. He doesn't say a lot, but he's able to suggest the turmoil and mistrust of a man with no memory.
08/02/07
We're unsure if there's to be a fourth film in the franchise; but if there's not, Jason Bourne's going out in real style.
08/02/07
I don't know that if an action film can, in fact, be art -- but I do know that The Bourne Ultimatum has stuck with me, and will stick with me, in ways that will linger for a while.

Will someone get this man a steadicam?
08/02/07
Another potent PowerBar of a movie, all protein and no fat. I sat there transfixed and chuckling with joy as Greengrass let. Her. Rip.
08/02/07
Summer's prime noisemaker, with twice the adrenaline of Live Free or Die Hard and more crushed metal than Transformers.
08/02/07
Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon team up again in this third - and final? - installment of the reliably thrilling but increasingly repetitious Bourne series.
08/02/07
The way that Bourne gets from one place to another with such speed and no obvious source of money makes me wish he was my travel agent.
08/02/07
The propulsive strength of Paul Greengrass' direction and the intensity of the non-stop chases usher you past any questions into a new reason to cheer.
08/02/07
Like the other two, Ultimatum has little problem working up a frantic pace & maintaining it. However, Ultimatum has other problems that make it the least effective Bourne.
08/01/07
It’s no small feat getting to the third movie in a series and still managing to create something watchable. More remarkable still -- unprecedented, really -- is making a movie that’s actually better than its predecessors.
08/01/07
This adrenaline-charged, bullet-riddled sprint from Moscow to New York is the best of the Bourne films, a politically-charged actioner with chases, brawls, shootouts and dry wit that never relies on one-liners.
08/01/07
Should be one of the best action films of the summer, but the director is so enamored with his hand-held camera technique that the film becomes difficult to endure.
08/01/07
...a whip-smart rollercoaster ride of bullets and baddies.
08/01/07
A knockout roller-coaster ride custom-made for adrenaline junkies, it’s easily the savviest and most satisfying spy movie in years, besting both of its preceding Bournes -- Identity and Supremacy.
08/01/07
This is Bond stripped of any glamour, but just as dazzling, as Bourne, without any of those nifty Bond gadgets, improvises with what is at hand, at one point, turning even a hardcover book into a lethal weapon
08/01/07
A lone man outfoxing (and outboxing) whatever is thrown at him by the most powerful spy agency in the world is irresistible drama.
