Review For The Bourne Legacy
Perhaps the most interesting question arising from The Bourne Legacy is just how long the filmmakers hope to trade on the Bourne name without any, you know, Bourne. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic Renner and Weisz work well together as two hunted souls who initially need each other for utilitarian reasons. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Gilroy's a fine writer - he also penned Michael Clayton - but without the discipline of an action veteran like Greengrass to rein him in, he indulges his weakness to over-explain things. Peter Howell-Toronto Star It's twists and turns and nothing else. And fast and furious as it may be, if this is the best this once-smart series has to offer, this is no legacy. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The Bourne Legacy is one of Alfred Hitchcock's "refrigerator movies," in that it succeeds pretty well "in the moment" but starts to fall apart when considered in retrospect. James Berardinelli-ReelViews The movie's last hour or so squanders these rich narrative possibilities in an incoherently plotted, generically action-packed anticlimax. Dana Stevens-Slate Unless America is really that stuck on Matt Damon in the Bourne franchise, I see no reason that Renner's work here shouldn't make him a star. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com Tony Gilroy's involving and smart installment of the Bourne series comes to Blu-ray armed with a superb A/V transfer and a solid packing of extras from Universal. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine If you can get past the distinct feeling that this is the Bourne B-team at work - Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are nowhere to be found - you'll probably be able to enjoy this frenetic spy thriller for the guilty-pleasure romp that it is. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Semi-successful revamp uses Bourne's name Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit It couldn't ever hope to match the Paul Greengrass/Matt Damon movies for sheer punch and propulsion, but it's as close to replicating them as you could expect, and marks another excellent entry into the Bourneography. Ali Gray-TheShiznit.co.uk Nicely overlaps the previous films while carving a name of its own Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) 'The Bourne Legacy' is by no means a bad film. Unfortunately, it just has trouble living up to the real world Jason Bourne 'legacy.' Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant There's a lot to like about The Bourne Legacy, but it's hard not to feel a little worried that the rich complexity of Ludlum's past work might be lost in the transition-and that's a legacy that really needs to be upheld. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic ... all middle with no beginning -- and, of course, no end, so the franchise can go on. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review "The Bourne Legacy" may not be the thriller the first three films managed to be. But, it's well written and very entertaining. Renner has become one of my favorite action stars. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers The Bourne Legacy is the strangest sequel to come out of the Hollywood studio system in a long, long time. It's a product of shallow studio greed and staggering creative ineptitude. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered Though the weakest of the series, "The Bourne Legacy" is not a throw-away action film. It's one of the best thrillers of the year and a sure bet on the future success of the "Bourne" franchise. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com If you can survive the first hour's complexities - you'll need to focus hard on the narrative to keep up - a pay-off, of sorts, awaits. Ed Gibbs-The National Renner and Weisz make an entertaining action-movie odd couple, the terse man of action and the chatty scientist who learns fast how to react when the shooting starts. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune (Renner) has the required intensity and physicality to make his character-a highly-trained, genetically enhanced undercover agent-completely believable. Leonard Maltin-indieWIRE It's not Renner's fault the script is a heap of dung. Erick Weber-NECN It's watchable, but doesn't have enough sense of character or purpose to make us care about anything that happens Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall It's a mostly unnecessary addition to the smart, exciting "Bourne" trilogy. Jeffrey M. Anderson-San Francisco Examiner Jeremy Renner steps into this reboot of the "Bourne" franchise and the series doesn't miss a beat. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com The Bourne Legacy exists only as a failed attempt to squeeze more juice out of a once-reputable franchise, which is hardly a legacy worth leaving. Chris Stuckmann-Moviedex
