DAmn look at the reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum

Agreed, I couldn't finish it.
How much do you know about adapting novels into screenplays? If the answer is nothing, who are you to tell the dude who wrote the screenplays how to do it?

I'm sure he knew that people would want him to stick to the book and had good reason to do otherwise. Screenplays aren't a literary art form, they're very structure based, and my guess is that the novels structure didn't work and needed revision.

I read an interview with the guy about the making of the second movie, he said he had almost completely departed from the original text because it didn't have what he needed in a script.

Irregardless, if you have that much of a boner for the books, check out http://imdb.com/title/tt0094791/
That's one of the reasons I didn't like the second one, I'm hoping this one is better.
 
Sigh...

All I'm going to say is, fucking shaky cam, what the fuck. No further comment, walked out about an hour and ten minutes in. I can tell there were good characters and plot under there, but seriously, is it necessary for the cameraman to be having a fucking heart attack?

Also, it seemed like a remake of The Bourne Identity. Identical plot, same female interest subplot, same type of action scenes, there's even a scene where Bourne watches the new chick die and cut her hair. That was one of the 'memorable' scenes from Bourne Identity.

Bad directing. Good writing, good character, good acting by Matt Damon, but you can't really tell because of the horrible fucking camerawork.
