365 in 365

time to try and catch up on the films, as i am falling very very badly behind!!!

Film No 11 The Bourne Legacy

this was a massive disappointment, im one of those rare people that didnt fall over themselves with love for the first 3 films in the series, personally i found the whole "i have lost my mind but i appear to be double hard anyway" attitude a tad tiresome about a third into the second film, but even through these annoying character traits the action was fast and slick and you didnt care if the story was over the top gash.
this one on the other hand just delivers you an annoying male lead, a vacuous female lead with no chemistry  between them, an overly needlessly over complicated script about under cover groups who pull the strings behind the closed doors of the american military.
where this film fails and the other succeeded is the action, for all the bad acting the other films delivered hyper kinetic and very slick action, be it through brutal fisticuffs or insane chases it kept the pace up and running, this one though, its a bit wet and very predictable.
and has such a weak ending that just smacks or opening up the doors for a fresh new franchise.
uck, no thanks.
