well-conceived but annoyingly random franchise reboot, that culminates in a patience-testing 15 minutes chase scene, so boring that even Jeremy Renner falls asleep on top of his speeding bike mid-chase (!!!)

Among the most aggressively awful summer tentpole releases of the last ten years. A soulless, shapeless, sluggish lump of nothing. Arguably a new high watermark for "they should have quit while they were ahead." The Phantom Menace, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Spider-Man 3, the Matrix sequels, whatever you think the worst Bond movie is (I'd personally go with either Diamonds Are Forever or The World Is Not Enough) - they all look like masterworks next to this astonishing, dreadful bore.

It's almost avant-garde in the way it just throws you into the movie and expects you to understand all the pseudo-science jargon and conspiracy plot points they throw at you, and then jumps from scene to scene with no transition. Eventually I figured out that it's about a super soldier who teams up with a doctor so he can get drugs while the CIA is trying to kill them. There's the whole movie, a wolf blows up, good times.

This film has less frenetic editing than the prior entries in this series, is thematically a little more interesting (the very notion of the "film franchise" being a textbook example of behavioural control through "neural design"), and makes no mention whatsoever of amnesia. For these reasons, this is the least irritating of the four films made thus far. The failure by critics and audiences to recognise this is further evidence of the pressing need for mass distribution of the blue pills.

People's expectations were too high for this one. It's not that bad. Granted, they are clearly trying to suck more money based on the name of one of the greatest trilogies of all time. That said, I was pretty entertained. True, the plot was pretty stupid but I will never not enjoy one guy beating the shit out of groups of people single handedly. It's just a difficult thing to fuck up. Jeremy Renner is a great action star

Might turn off those who came for pure action, since at least half of this is dedicated to exploring the science and politics of the Bourne series. I don't mind though; I enjoy the technical side, Weisz and Renner are fantastic in their roles, and it still delivers some great fight scenes. Its biggest flaw actually is not delivering a stronger conclusion, since they're too busy setting it up for sequels.

First half of the movie drags like crazy, and there's little payoff as the plot is much simpler even than the prior films' and the characters are cutouts. The second half picks up with some effective action sequences before skidding to a halt with a non-ending. Even if this is just a "part one" for a new trilogy, Legacy brings nothing new or even all that interesting to the series.

Matt Damon didn't played role in this film, only his name was used instead. Jason Bourne has been hanging out the dirty laundry of the illegal clandestine programs Treadstone and Blackbriar. To cover up, the top of the conspiracy decides to take out the remaining agents permanently. Among them is Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), from the Outcome program, who flees together with an associated scientist (Rachel Weisz).

A competent sequel that should not have been made. Jeremy Renner is a poor replacement for Matt Damon, the plot just spins its wheels, and I'm just not invested in the proceedings. Competent direction and a few decent action beats can't save this from being an unnecessary, bloated addition to a tightly constructed trilogy.

I saw this an hour ago, and I can't say what it was really about. The story is pretty thin and fairly unoriginal. It ended so abruptly too. I can't fault the film on a technical level - the direction, the cinematography and all that were all good. It just wasn't very engaging. I didn't care about the characters or what was happening to them. Yeah, it was an alright film, but not one I'll remember.

Better than expected considering the general mixed to negative reviews. Renner is good, Weisz is excellent, and I thought they worked well together. Gilroy's direction is solid, if not as slick as Greengrass' and the movie is all a bit linier, and we're not given too much more information in the Bourne universe. But aside from a fairly underwhelming conclusion, I can't point to anything I actively disliked. A perfectly entertaining action thriller.

While The Bourne Legacy lacks the smarts of the previous trilogy it isn't a bad movie. Renner and Weisz are both admirable leads which falter only when the script does, specifically a blossoming romance that feels tremendously forced instead of genuinely. Still, the climatic chase scene at the end of the film, a staple of the Bourne films by now, is in fact one of the best in recent memory making the film worth seeing at least once.

Passes the time and entertains in spurts with some of its action scenes, and with a few cases of bad and laughable writing as well. It begins rather uninterestingly, but Weisz and Renner eventually more or less save the film. Cross is cooler than Bourne, but Gilroy is no Greengrass.

Excellent esponiage film. Already severely underrated. Yes, you will have to turn your brain on and think, for a change, as it is quite complex and sometimes hard to follow. Both Renner and Weisz are on top of their game and deliver. Pacing is spot on and Gilroy is yet again great. The previous Bourne films were all good, but on a different level. I actually prefer 'Legacy'. There I said it. And to you who complain Bourne isn't in it, no shit, really? Renner is a worthy successor.

A decent entry in the series and noticeably the worst of the bunch. Jeremy Renner is at times charismatic and surprisingly a good enough replacement for Matt Damon as the lead. Unfortunately The Bourne Legacy suffers from some serious pacing issues when scenes with next to nothing going on will drag on forever with no end in sight. This movie is seriously nothing you haven't already seen before in the series, but if you're a Bourne fan you'll get a certain level of enjoyment out of this one.

Meine niedrigen Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Der Film ist eher als Ableger der Hauptreihe zu sehen. Nicht nur der Protagonist, auch die Machart hat sich geändert, was wohl damit zusammenhängt, dass statt Doug Liman / Paul Greengrass der ständige Drehbuchautor Tony Gilroy selbst Regie führte. Der Anfang ist recht spannend, aber die zweite Hälfte lässt nach. Die mittlerweile übermenschlichen Fähigkeiten sind bedauerlich, statt trainierten Spezialagenten sieht man jetzt Pharma-Superhelden.

Movie by committee, designed for a new audience that did not understand the original but wants the same experience, like other nonsense sequels like "Blade Runner 2049," The Hobbit," and all the Star Wars movies after 1977. They ape the original plot but shovel it into a pile of cliches from the Terminator movies, Flowers for Algernon, James Bond, and Wallander. The acting is good, cinematography bad, and script like a soap opera. This was an excruciating watch.

Kurunun yanında yaş hikayesi. Bu sefer senaryoda sıkıntılar var. Mesela suçsuz ajanlar ölmesi gibi. Filmin sonunda, Rachel Weisz ile Filipinler macerası. Doktor bana bul 1 çare. Çare Filipinlerde.

The whole pill addition felt very dubious and like it threatened the previous 3 movies. But if you take it as a standalone movie, it makes it much better than compared to the rest. Renner's character was likeable, Weisz goo and I would have liked more of them and less of Norton's team being angry

The idea isn't bad: a different hero with his own story inside the universe established by the Bourne trilogy. Problem is, there is nothing original or even interesting about the characters. The movie constantly cuts from one setting to the other without finding the time to introduce and establish anything properly. The action is competent and the results are mildly thrilling throughout, yet the scope is decidedly limited.

The Bourne Legacy benefits from Jeremy Renner's charm to a fault. Even so it can't help but feel incomplete. Had this movie included the unmistakable style of Greengrass and the powerful presence of Matt Damon, it would have worked far better. That being said, it's an enjoyable distraction. A wholly unnecessary one.

Kicks into gear pretty effectively once the stakes have been established with some dope action scenes, so much so that I started to wonder why everyone hated this movie. And then the unbelievably wrong-headed Manila chase sequence happened - that if I wanted to break down all the bad aspects of I wouldn't even know where to start - and I got really depressed. This is the same guy who made Michael Clayton?

Well-wrought continuation of the Bourne saga finds Renner much more at home and comfortable with his man-of-action cipher than Damon before him, though as with previous entries, insanely convoluted plotting and storytelling (a trademark of writer-director Gilroy) attempts to fool its viewer into thinking it's more clever than it is. Backed by a strong supporting cast, and an excellent heroine in Weisz, this is still a fun timewaster, elevated by its best elements.

The original trilogy had a nice balance of action and plot. This one tries to strike the same balance, but the difference is that the plot is trite this time. So instead we're left with only half of a good movie and everything in between the action scenes is tiresome. It's still decent for the action sequences, though.

The Bourne Legacy is disappointing, dull and completely unnecessary. Identity was decent, but the quality that Greengrass brought to Supremacy and Ultimatum gave the Bond films a real run for their money. But Legacy is a lacklustre experience and a big step back for the franchise. Renner gives a forgettable performance and Weisz & Norton offer little. The set pieces are fun, but the pacing is all over the place. This isn't a Bourne film. This is another generic and forgettable action thriller.

The Bourne Legacy is by far the worst installment in the Bourne franchise, and is the only one I don't necessarily recommend watching. It's a boring, overlong, convoluted film, filled with a simple plot that the film does little with, and very few action scenes. Jeremy Renner makes for a capable lead, and there are some big names in the supporting cast, but without giving them anything to do, their talent is wasted. I can't think of many reasons to see this movie.

Then you realize that none of this matters as it turns out to be a simple case of cat and mouse. A soldier tries to get hold more of the medication that his employers have been pumping into him before the effects wear off.

grab bag of drones, adderall, post college white collar angst, yellow peril, and adolescent power fantasy but it's totally hip to itself you see.

The Bourne Legacy is the best of the Bourne movies. Jeremy Renner plays a good character that makes you want to care about. Really fun action and great techno-jargon.

Renner proves to be a worthy successor in this tightly woven, suspense drive action flick. Weisz and Renner have good chemistry, and the slower moments provide clarity for a series that has long needed some. Great action, great pacing, and great future potential. Perhaps a little more of a cliffhanger would have been better, but the set-up for a sequel was inevitable.

Somewhat disappointing. Overwrought performances by Strathairn and others detract from the believability of the story and make it not much fun to watch.

Benefits from the involvement of Tony Gilroy as it builds on what's come before it. On it's own strength it's still a worthwhile thriller.

the bourne legacy does indeed have all the right ingredients of the trilogy, but all in all, it just doesn't click. renner does his best, weisz and norton also do an adequate job, but somewhere along the narrative it chugs down, and falls through. the editing and the direction is not up to par with the original trilogy.

Jeremy Renner is far less amusing to watch than I remember him being in the Avengers, in addition the story is so generic that I've already forgotten what happens in it, the chase and fights scenes are a bit of a mess to watch because the camera shakes clumsily around to ensure you have no clue where anything is.

Renner's performance is terrific, and really holds the film together when everything around him starts to feel like a sluggish bore. The movie takes forever to get going, and comes to an abrupt end about as soon as the ball starts to roll. A handful of great scenes, including the marathon motorcycle chase that comprises the finale, make it worthwhile. Having heard that Paul Greengrass and Doug Liman kept a lot of Gilroy's dumb ideas in check in the trilogy, this pretty much confirms the rumours.

I felt like the first 15-20 minutes really drug (no pun intended), but that's potentially my own fault as I'm not entrenched in the whole Bourne mythology. I'm sure it was more interesting to hardcore fans of the series. Let's just say the movie's intro is not very kind to "Bourne newbies". Indeed the pace barely increases through the flick's first hour. When the personal & political storylines finally intersect it gets better. The ending is very abrupt & not very well-done to me. It's passable.

Bourne was always about suspense; an element sorely lacking in this open-ended and frankly unnecessary continuation of what was a great series

It is all quite engaging, up until the last thirty minutes or so, when this smart, tense movie becomes a very, very long chase scene. If you dig chase scenes, this is probably the climax of the film, but I find them to be mostly a drag, and there is really nothing to separate this one from any of the others I've seen in recent years. It is a disappointing resolution to a pretty cool story, but not disappointing enough to erase my mostly good feelings about this picture.

There's little to recommend here beyond some engaging cinematography, especially in the film's first half. Great actors do little to liven up a desperate attempt at holding onto a franchise. The story could have been interesting, but Renner (a gifted pre-star) is given a character of little pursuit and even less intensity. The protagonist is after pills and the government is shady. Give us more than that Universal Studios, or give us back Matt Damon, or simply grant a cash cow a peaceful death.

Solid action, but the ending is way too sudden. I enjoyed it a lot, anyway.
