DVD Reviews of The Bourne Trilogy (The Bourne Identity | The Bourne Supremacy | The Bourne Ultimatum) [Blu-ray]DVD Review: I would stand in line for this. Summary: 5 StarsJames Bond is too pampered and spoiled. Take away his ridiculous gadgets and fancy car, and he would be lost.
Not Jason Bourne. Bourne relies more on his wit and resourcefulness to make the most with what he has. Whereas Bond needs a tricked-out Aston Martin with rocket launchers and oil slick dispensers to make it through a car chase, Bourne only needs a beat-up old Cooper Mini. Whereas Bond sticks out like a sore thumb wherever he goes, Bourne is like your real-life covert operative who does his best to look ordinary, blend in and not attract attention-- You'd never spot him walking through a crowd at a train station.
With the much more intelligent approach that gives up nothing on action, the Bourne trilogy is a refreshing take on the spy genre.
Like Moby says in the Extreme Ways theme for the Bourne trilogy, I would stand in line for this.
The blu-ray discs in this trilogy look absolutely fabulous on my setup (Sony Playstation 3 / Sony Bravia KDL-52W300 52-inch 1080p LCD HDTV). I had rented the standard-definition DVDs from Netflix before I bought the Blu-Ray Bourne Trilogy, and there is absolutely NO comparison-- On a proper setup, blu-ray totally blows away the standard-def DVDs. The difference in clarity is like night and day.
DVD Review: The Bourne Triolog Summary: 5 StarsMy son in law wanted this for his birthday. IS totally into the Bourne movies
DVD Review: Blu-ray? Summary: 2 StarsDon't buy the Blu-ray copy of these movies! They were not originally filmed in digital so the blu-ray copies look the same as the normal dvd copies. Sad to say, these blu-rays look worse than alot of my normal dvds. Great movies though. Get the dvds for sure!
DVD Review: still too expensive Summary: 4 StarsA very good movie in any format, anyway the blu ray price is just not encouraging
DVD Review: Good Trilogy Summary: 4 StarsThis is a must have Trilogy set for Bourne fans. All three movies are entertaining with non-stop action. Story line is very good and links all three movies together nicely.
The image quality of the movies are good, but not great for Blu-Ray. Sound is excellent! There are tons of extras and control features with these BD discs. The box set design is very nice also. Overall, it's worth to have in your collection.
Description of The Bourne Trilogy (The Bourne Identity | The Bourne Supremacy | The Bourne Ultimatum) [Blu-ray]Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/27/2009 The Bourne Identity Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne Identity starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity. While his CIA superior (Chris Cooper) dispatches assassins to kill Bourne and thus cover up his failed mission, Bourne exercises his lethal training to leave a trail of bodies from Switzerland to Paris. Director Doug Liman (Go) infuses Ludlum's intricate plotting with a maverick's eye for character detail, matching breathtaking action with the humorous, thrill-seeking chemistry of Damon and Potente. Previously made as a 1988 TV movie starring Richard Chamberlain, The Bourne Identity benefits from the sharp talent of rising stars, offering intelligent, crowd-pleasing excitement from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon
The Bourne Supremacy Good enough to suggest long-term franchise potential, The Bourne Supremacy is a thriller fans will appreciate for its well-crafted suspense, and for its triumph of competence over logic (or lack thereof). Picking up where The Bourne Identity left off, the action begins when CIA assassin and partial amnesiac Jason Bourne (a role reprised with efficient intensity by Matt Damon) is framed for a murder in Berlin, setting off a chain reaction of pursuits involving CIA handlers (led by Joan Allen and the duplicitous Brian Cox, with Julia Stiles returning from the previous film) and a shadowy Russian oil magnate. The fast-paced action hurtles from India to Berlin, Moscow, and Italy, and as he did with the critically acclaimed Bloody Sunday, director Paul Greengrass puts you right in the thick of it with split-second editing (too much of it, actually) and a knack for well-sustained tension. It doesn't all make sense, and bears little resemblance to Robert Ludlum's novel, but with Damon proving to be an appealingly unconventional action hero, there's plenty to look forward to. --Jeff Shannon
The Bourne Ultimatum The often breathtaking, final installment in the Bourne trilogy finds the titular assassin with no memory closing in on his past, finally answering his own questions about his real identity and how he came to be a seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Matt Damon returns for another intensely physical performance as Jason Bourne, the rogue operative at war with the CIA, which made him who and what he is and managed to kill his girlfriend in the series' second film, The Bourne Supremacy. Now looking for payback, Bourne goes in search for the renegade chief of CIA operations in Europe and North Africa, partnering for a time with a mysterious woman from his past (Julia Stiles) and constantly--constantly--on the run from assassins, intelligence foot soldiers, and cops. Directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93) with the director's thrilling, trademark textures and shaky, documentary style, The Bourne Ultimatum is largely a succession of action scenes that reveal a lot about the story's characters while they're under duress. Joan Allen, Albert Finney, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, and Paddy Considine comprise the film's terrific supporting cast, and the well-traveled movie leads viewers through Turin, Madrid, Tangiers, Paris, London, and New York. Overall, this is a satisfying conclusion to Bourne's exciting and protracted mystery. --Tom Keogh Click to learn more about the BD-Live Experience
