The Bourne Supremacy

I loved this movie. Maybe it was cause it happened all in Europe which is always great. Maybe it was cause of the great characters. But it was indeed awesome. A great action flick that'll make tons of money and they'll make the third in a few years to complete the trilogy like in the books in which this is based.

And about the books, I haven't read them so I don't know how Marie's character is there, but here in The Bourne Supremacy, when they were showing Franka Potente's Marie, I was thinking: what are they going to do with her now? Thing is, the first movie was small, and it was in Europe too, so they got German little-known-over-here actress Franka Potente to play the European girl. Now, I love Franka Potente. She's awesome in Run Lola Run. But in the first movie, she was just the girl in danger that rides along Matt Damon's Bourne. And looking at her now, she's not super attractive, and I was thinking that she looked wrong in this sequel, she looked liked she would just drag Bourne a lot, so It was no surprise that they killed her 15 minutes into the movie. Maybe it happened like that in the books too, probably.

The story is very good again. Still playing with Bourne's amnesia which causes us to keep trying to follow the hard story, since not even Bourne knows what happened, so none of the stuff villain Brian Cox does seems normal. A very good performance by Brian Cox here.

Also very good is Joan Allen as Pam Landy. She's the head of the mission now though she doesn't know Cox's story either. And she's got it all wrong about Bourne.

Julia Stiles is back. And before the movie came out I saw a lot of interviews with her, and she always said her part was bigger in this movie, but it wasn't. Looked kind of weird having her for just a couple of scenes in the middle of the movie and that was it.

Karl Urban as the Russian assassin Kirill was awesome too. He's been in great all I've seen him since his Eomer in LotR. I think I said he was the only good thing in The Chronicles of Riddick.

Matt Damon was again excellent as Bourne. And I love that he's getting a big recognition for this. And that the movie opened so big (it made more money than Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing, Vin Diesel's Riddick and even Will Smith's I, Robot) is great, cause now he'll get more shots at blockbusters though I hope he keeps making smaller movies too.

So to finish this, the movie is great, excellent shots of all the European cities featured in the movie, and let's hope they get the third one (no idea about the book's name though) done in a few years.
