Review of The Bourne Legacy (2012) by Knicksfan7 — 19 Aug 2012

This was a great film. Was it perfect? No of course not, its extremely rare to find a perfect film. The Bourne Legacy is a fast paced and intelligent film. It does have its flaws with some wooden moments from Rachel Weiz and the upsetting fact that Edward Norton really doesn't do anything besides word off some facts about the field agents and whats going on.

It was a bit overly lond as well. 145 minute running time is pretty steep for this type of movie. Jeremy Renner of course didn't disappoint as he never does. It didn't seem like their were very many action scenes but now that I look back at it, I think theres a good healthy amount, and in everyone Renner is just awesome.

He's a great action star and a great actor period. The story was well written but it wasn't executed to the best it could've been I believe, but overall it was a great and entertaining film. As good as the original trilogy? No, its a tad bit off from the original Matt Damon featured trilogy but it was still a damn good film and its definitely worth the admission price.

I'd go see it again and I will most certainly purchase the blu-ray in the future.
