4/4  A Great Transition
A lot of folks were turned off by this installment's unstable camera technique. I thought it was another dash of brilliance because it matches the film's kinetic storyline. Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne, angrier and more astute as eve... (read full)

Bourne... again?

4/4  The Bourne Supremacy Quick Review
Personally my favorite of the series. I know most will disagree with me on that but the plot was great and this one tugs at your heart more so than the first one. And once again Damon is excellent

3/4  The Bourne Supremacy Quick Review
As entertaining as the original - if even more frentic (what's up with all those cuts anyway?). Still, the Bourne series has one thing going for it: action, good action, fast action, unrelenting action - vapid but fun.

4/5 My favorite of the Trilogy
  by E. Meyers (Germany)
This is my favorite of the Bourne series as it is the middle film where you are right in the center of the action...I think the characters work well together and there is already an inkling of the full back story of how Bourne became who he is. The action is fast-paced and we move with Bourne across the globe. My favorite scenes are those in Russia and Berlin. Highly recommended!

1/5 rip off

This was a terrible copy of a copy with the scenes incredibly dark with futuristic green flesh tones.
Do not buy this
IMO

4/5 An Entertaining Action Flick
  by S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)
This second installment in the Bourne series picks up where the first one leaves off and does so in a very entertaining fashion.

It begins a couple of years after the first movie and finds Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) living with his lover Maria (Frank Potente) in India. He is framed for the murder of a CIA agent and someone makes an attempt on his life. These events set the action in motion and it never slows down after that.

The story goes from India across Europe and also has action in Russia. Bourne is a very efficient operator and makes life very dangerous for those who are gunning for him. As the plot unfolds, he keeps regaining parts of his memory.

Anyone who liked the Bourne Identity should love this one. It is a better thriller and will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. I enjoyed it a lot.

4/5 NOT ONLY A SUCCESSFUL SEQUEL, BUT...
  by Josef Bush (Phoenix, AZ)
It would seem that the reason this sequel was made as it was is that the inner spring of the Agency's deceit was not revealed in the initial release. And so, rather than pile on the fight sequences, the producer/director decided to (yes, pile on the fight sequences, but) dive into the villany of Bourne's predicament. And its simply this: the USA for some reason, wanted to wire either 3 million or 3 billion dollars in aid to Russia, and it was stolen en transit. The theft was engineered by a corrupt member of Russian Intelligence, working with two corrupt CIA officials. The three split the money and faked the theft by cloaking it in a CIA assassionation by a new operator, Bourne. His fingerprints were stolen to be used later as false proof of his involvement, and his memory and/or identity snapped or malfunctioned. We can't be sure how, but it appears to have been a reaction to his home agency's guilt in not only the murder of the Russian businessman and his wife, but in its willingness to sacrifice personnel so that the CIA thieves could keep not only their stolen wealth, but their positions and perks in the Agency.

Not an easy skein to unwind at any speed, but seemingly impossible at the speed required to match Bourne's life as an international fugitive.

True, one of the two corrupt CIA officials was killed at the end of the original story, but as we learn, the survivor, in order to protect himself from the hidden but questionable file involving himself, has to use his contacts with the KGB to eliminate Bourne. That Avening Angel with Carl Urban's raptor face, like the hero in Prokoffiev's opera of that name, seeks out Bourne and his lover in Beach resort Goa, and kills her with a sniper's long range rifle, believing he's killed him. Then he's off to Russia never to be seen again, presumably.

She is shot behind the wheel of a 4X4 as it crashes through a guard rail and plunges into the water below, and the underwater sequence in which Bourne tried both to save the dead and/or dying woman and then to reposition her in the vehicle inspired, it seems to me, Daniel Craig's very similar attempt in CASINO ROYALE to save drowning Eva Green who's trapped in a metal elevator cage that is sinking into a Venedian canal. The intensity; the despair of love and sensuality irretrevably lost. Its all there. And then the movie gears up into Bourne's Revenge Mode. And it doesn't slow down. Bourne becomes, his humanity nearaly burnt away, like the edge of ALLAH's sword, Justice, which no man can evade, fortell or delay.

At Headquarters we see faces we remember from the initial show, and replacing the corrupt Management Operative who was taken out, we find Joan Allen as Langley's on-the-spot Inquirer, re-opening the Bourne file and searching through whatever evidence remains to find out not just who, but why. Good performance. But how unexpected: to play the character as the femenine side of Ann Coulter!

Well, there are chase sequences throughout Europe -- all thrilling and ingeneous -- and finally, in Moscow, Bourne -- piloting an old RussoFiat Taxi like a maniac -- manages to get his lover's killer, and we get a keen sort of sensual fulfillment looking at dead Urban's face, the top of his bloody head blown away.

Personally, I find this feature to be extremely rewarding and entertaining, but I think the best way to watch it is not as a sequal to the first film, but as the second part or reel of that story. Just watch it without interruption and any sense of dislocation of narrative tissue will be lost. Instead, the Bourne experience will be heightened. Which is amazing, even to contemplate in the abstract!
