self-destructing signature

Because the word-of-mouth of the 1st to 3rd films was so good, Universal refused to let go of the brand, Matt Damon didn't join, and the original director didn't work.

The first half an hour was too boring. In order to explain the plot and prove that this work is closely related to the first three films, at least inextricably linked, the director frequently made the "people" of the previous work appear, including real people and photos. You guys didn't see the first shot of the third Bourne after he fell into the water. As a result, he couldn't see it. There was only one photo in the whole film. How sad. What is even more tragic is that the name "Jason Bourne" runs through the whole film but has never appeared. It's really "Brother is not in the rivers and lakes, but there are always legends about brother in the rivers and lakes." In fact, the director does not need to talk about it for so long, this is the problem of rhythm control. At the end of the film, there is a little thing after the end of the third part, in fact, it is also to explain the role of this film as a sequel. In fact, half an hour after the film started, the director kept trying to withdraw from the first three films to show that this is an independent story. In such a contradictory situation, the whole film looks bland overall. What annoys me is that this one seems to want to use blue-green pills to explain why Jason Bourne is so powerful, but the first three have no clues about pills or anything like that at all. Although this forced insertion is well-intentioned, But it's really abrupt, but it's offensive. A good spy movie almost turned into a sci-fi movie that transforms people. The style of this film is actually very similar to the first film, the same music, similar shots, especially the most exciting shot (the car chase part) at the end of the film, which has the style of the former director everywhere, but the degree of camera shake not enough. Even the ending is similar to the first one. The hero and heroine go to avoid the world together, and by the way lay the groundwork for the next one. The plot is too weak, it's basically all trifles, even if the big boss didn't kill the big protagonist in the end, he was actually kicked by the heroine and turned around for N weeks and a half. Compared to the first three, the opponents in this one are simply...

This film and the third film are developed in parallel. From the point of view of time, this film should start shortly after the third film begins, and when the third film ends, this film will reach the middle position. In order to maintain the "inextricable" connection, it is really well-intentioned. If this one is not a series of The Bourne, it can get 4 stars, but as a sequel to The Bourne, it can only go to 3 stars at most. The core of the first three parts is "passive-find the answer-explore the conspiracy", from being wronged to finally being wronged, everyone is very happy to see it. The answer to this one was revealed too quickly, and the rest were all action scenes that wanted to "paint a tiger but not a dog". If you want to copy the action scenes, you just want to copy the fur of the first three films, and the action scenes are not the core of the first three films at all. The director mistakenly regards the expression of the first three films as the core, and is destined to fail to reach the height of the first three films. In addition, the quality and plot of the action scenes are not comparable to the first three films. This film is doomed to fail!
