The Bourne series continues, this time with a new guy Aaron Cross played by Jeremy Renner.
Normally, I don't like it when they change the actor of the main star in movies and basically avoid watching it. But with this movie, since I am a fan of Jeremy Renner's and the movies are just awesome anyways, that I decided to give it a try and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed at all! The story is brand new, however they do refer to Tredstone and Jason Bourne an awful lot in the movie, so I would suggest watching the first three to understand fully what was going on. I would say that if I hadn't watched the first three before hand, I probably would have been completely lost.
I was totally in the mood for a very action packed movie and this movie really has it! It also has some of it's funny moments, too. So, that helped. The action was amazing, though. I read in my Entertainment Weekly that Jeremy Renner did a lot of his own stunts, which makes it 10 times better.
Very little romance in the movie, but I thought that Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz (Marta) had great chemistry. Even though there's very little romance, there are some parts where you can tell they like each other. I thought they both were great at their parts.
I'm not sure if I could ever pick a favorite. Like if I like Matt Damon or Jeremy Renner. Both different characters and different stories and they were both amazing and each different actors, too. I think they both have done great and not sure if I could ever pick between the two.
I was a bit confused during the beginning of the movie and I thought it was a little slow going in the beginning, but once the action started, it was basically none stop till the very end! And let me just say, that I think there is a chance they will make a 5th one.
This was definitely worth a watch. Especially if you have enjoyed the Bourne series thus far. And like I said, at first, I was a little disappointed that they changed the actor, but after seeing Jeremy Renner in Mission Impossible 4 and the Avengers, he's becoming one of my favorites, so that's mainly why I didn't have a problem with seeing this newest Bourne movie. Even though it's basically like a new series starting. But I was very impressed with how they tighted everything together from all the movies.
Have you seen this movie? If so, what did you think about it?
