Topic: I absolutely hate the Bourne movies
So I sat down and watched all 5 bourne films for the first time.
As a bond fan, I thought I might like these, but after watching them, I was highly disappointed. The first one (Identity) was ok, but the other 4 were some of the worst films I have ever seen. This is mainly because I had so much trouble following them.
Overall, the plots were incoherent, unclear, and downright confusing. Ok, I sometimes have trouble understanding what's going on in films in general, but with the bourne films magnify this by 10. It's like everyone's speaking in code or a different language, and it's bloody frustrating to watch. The plots are confusing as hell, but that's not necessarily because they're complex in nature, it is because they are so poorly executed and scripted. They are completely overloaded with jargon, and lack clarity. They also never slow down and give you a break. On top of this, the camera work is also confusing, just way too fast and switching between people too rapidly. For example, at the begining of the second film, they were rapidly switching shots between the 'good' guys (uncovering the files) to the 'bad' guys (causing the black-out), making it seem like they were the same people - absolutely no need for this. Just confusing for no decent reason.
Surely I cannot be the only one that hates these movies? Surely I cannot be the only one that was confused by these movies?
In conclusion, WHY THE HELL are these films compared to bond films? They are nothing alike!
