Review of The Bourne Legacy (2012) by Sonofosamadams — 11 Aug 2013

What a waste of money. Seriously. There was clearly a lot of talent in the casting with this movie, but apparently not behind the camera. Tony Gilroy did an average job directing, but what really just hurts this movie is the screenplay.

This movie has no sense of direction whatsoever. Also, there's really no tension making the action boring and pointless. Renner does a good job, but I think that people see his past work and think he makes any movie he's in good.

With Legacy, that's not the case. They waste him really, since Aaron Cross isn't an interesting character. He's hard to cheer for because the only thing that motivates him is getting his next pill fix.

Norton's character was wasted too, as was a lot of characters. Bourne was mentioned frequently throughout the film, rendering Cross's point in the story useless. Seriously why did this even have to happen? Its clearly an obvious cash grab with an ending that contradicts Ultimatiums near perfect conclusion.

I hope this is the last one.
