Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers.

Honestly, I can't believe how good this film is. This film is an adrenaline rush that you'll not get anywhere else, even in 2021. Coupled with impressive storytelling, mind blowing action set pieces, spectacular fight scenes and brilliant performances from everyone, especially from Matt Damon. Sometimes I wonder, how did not Matt Damon win an Oscar for this film. Also director Paul Greengrass' shaky camera work is still very much unique to this day. And this film has the best chase sequence and the best hand to hand combat sequence I've ever seen. And the story wraps up the Jason Bourne trilogy on a high note, it's a very satisfying conclusion..

It says something about Paul Greengrass' directing style that he's able to make a movie as fresh and frank as The Bourne Ultimatum from a genre as moldy and bombastic as the spy thriller.

It's the rare action picture whose adrenaline-driven thrills neither overshadow the characters nor degenerate into cartoonish preposterousness.

For action junkies, The Bourne Ultimatum will be like a hit of pure meth. It's bravura filmmaking in the jittery, handheld, frenetically edited Paul Greengrass style.

For once, I didn't feel cheated by an unresolved ending, but let's hope this is the end. Robert Ludlum wrote three Bourne novels, and this is one series that ought not to be dishonored by inferior sequels.

The movie is so surreal it's just not very involving. As an action extravaganza, it's busy but dull.

Wonderful sequel that has a lot of amazing action and fun that The Bourne gives us throughout the whole movie.

Too blurry too little plot too thin of characters. It won 3 oscars for sound but all the sound effects sound the same to me. The Bourne Identity is one of my favorite action movies, seek that instead.

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was a very entertaining film. "The Bourne Ultimatum" was entertaining too. Both were full of cartoon characters and the plot, in both cases, was strictly for laughs. If you like non-stop action, no matter ridiculous it may get, you will like Bourne #3.

Although it could never be seen as a weak movie, there is no doubt that The Bourne Ultimatum is a bit of disappointment when compared to it's thunderous predecessor The Bourne Supremacy. A lot of elements are recycled from that movie albeit without the same the sense of furious despair that made Supremacy such a thrilling ride. The Bourne Ultimatum does have it's plus points in the form of some great action scenes; the battle in Morrocco and the London Waterloo escapade are both truly excellent sequences. Overall, The Bourne Ultimatum is a descent movie but it doesn't live up to it's classic prequel.
