Review of The Bourne Legacy (2012) by Gavin P — 23 Jul 2016
A decent action film, but it doesn't really add anything to the Bourne franchise and has nothing new or interesting - except a wolf fight (which was done in 'The Grey', one year earlier). Renner is fine as Aaron (is he in every franchise now? Marvel, Mission Impossible, Bourne, 28 Days/Weeks Later.
..), another "program participant", along with Jason Bourne (#5 - 005?) and #3 ('Poe Dameron'), but everyone else is conveniently wiped out. The CIA links are tenuous and Norton is wasted as the chief hunter.
Weisz is OK, but isn't really suited to the damsel-in-distress role anymore. Good motorbike chase scene, but very weak ending - took over 2 hours to get to and obvious and non-exciting conclusion.
