This movie was awesome. It can't quite top the first one though. I think what made it more interesting for me was the fact the bad guys were played by kiwis, and the first movie gave it its spin!!

There's a lot to enjoy in this latest movie. The photography is outstanding and the film uses locations as diverse as Naples and Moscow. The action sequences are the Creme De la Creme with clever use... Read more
of a handheld camera approach that works brilliantly in highlighting Bourne's episodic mental state. If you're like me - a great fan of the first film Mini chase you won't be disappointed by the chase sequence involving a taxi and there's also a great fight scene in which Bourne fights off an assassin with a newspaper. In short, The Bourne Supremacy is something of a rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a better sequel than the first. Highly recommended.

I liked this film in places, but then was let down a bit by the obvious plot. Not difficult to figure out early on in the film who the inside man is. Sometimes the cinemaphotography was a bit too full... Read more
on, with too many quick cuts and camera movement making for a difficult film to watch in places. Didn't like it as much as the first and why didn't they use Julia Stiles more???!!!

This was pretty much your stock standard Action movie. Nothing startling, but not a shocker either.

The Bourne Identity took the viewer on an often violent, highly entertaining and delightfully intriguing romp through Europe. The Bourne Supremacy employs much the same tactics but with a larger scope... Read more
, both geographically and narratorially. We pick up Bourne's trail in Goa India, track him through Europe and then finally follow him into Russia and the post-Soviet mess of Moscow for the tradition final show down between good and evil. This binary conflict, of course, occurs inside Bourne's rather mangled mind as well as in the East West paradigm that still lingers in these types of movies. Perhaps, in an allegorical sense, that's what makes the film interesting: Bourne's uncertainty as to who he is: a amensiac former hitman for the CIA trying to come to terms with who he was and who he is. Going on a killing rampage on the way to making an apology to an innocent victim of his rampant violence seems, in the end, a pretty good option 'cause that's what he is good at, what he's trained for - just as the confused American Government feels it necessary to attack whatever moves in the post-Cold War (Islam being the new Red). However, the lesson here is that one can put the gun back in the trench coat pocket and walk towards the light. Hmmm, maybe asking a bit much of the film here. But the flick seems desperately to want to make a comment about East West intrigue in an age where the very notion of such a conflict is dead. Hence, it posits - What do you do when your enemies become your friends? The complex patchwork of visuals and plot somehow seems to allow for the film to explore this type question without it becoming bogged down in its own special effects bonanza. Its a fun little film that manages, and this is remarkable for a sequel, to continue and improve on the original idea without killing itself.

Enjoyable movie of this genre with lots of action. Typical - good without too much mind stress. Could do without quite so much predictable car chases!
