The Bourne Trilogy

I will not break these down individually in terms of a summary because I believe I was the last person in the world to see them. It was by accident that I even did, to be honest. I have never been a fan of James Bond-ish type movies. The only Bond movie I’ve seen is Dr. No, which was made roughly 212 years ago.

But I was recently at my brother’s house and saw that he had all three Bourne movies so I borrowed them. I had them for a couple weeks before I even started watching them too. I lost momentum in my drive to see them for whatever reason.

Then I watched em…

Fuck these movies are badass. And it’s not like no one told me this, I heard it all the time. They would talk about how amazing they are and my mind would just blank out because I couldn’t see Matt Damon as a superagent killer guy.

The third film (The Bourne Ultimatum) was particularly spectacular. Damon turned in some Assassin’s Creed shit in there. Jumping through windows, leaping atop buildings and crap. Insane.

When the Moby song played at the end of each movie I got chills. Lord. And the formula of the movies is bloody brilliant. Somehow he always knows the only possible way to get out of every situation. And seriously, if you have a gun, DO NOT walk up within striking range because you will be summarily disarmed and fucked up.

I was really hoping to like these movies, but I didn’t…I loved them. I am glad too. I feel it has opened up a new arena of movie watching for me. Hell, maybe I’ll give 007 a try now. I am badgered endlessly to do it.

When I got done with Ultimatum I wanted more. Robert Ludlum you need to get off your ass and write some more effing books. I won’t read them, but Matt Damon will own the world with his badassmotherfuckery for my enjoyment.

Score – 90 across the board

Since I was the last man on earth to see the movies, here is the Moby music video with the uncommonly amazing song with movie clips:
