Rachelle and I actually did something besides work on the house this weekend. On friday night The Bourne Ultimatum came out, so we made our way to the theater at about 8:50 to get into the 9:50 show. The 9:50 show was sold out and we didn’t feel like waiting around till 10:50 for the next one so we decided to try again on Saturday.

We showed up about an hour early again, which was around 11:00am. We got the large pop/popcorn combination and waited around for the movie to start. Of course we were one of the first one’s there so we got the first pick of seats as well.

The movie started off with fantastic and never seemed to slow down to me. Right from the start there is a “chase” scene. I put chase in quotes because nobody is in a car, nor actually running away. It’s Bourne helping out another guy to evade some CIA operatives in the middle of a busy crowd. The whole scene had a very exciting feeling to it. The music really set the mood of the scene and I think they did a good job of that throughout the movie.

The third in the trilogy, this movie is in the same mold as the other two with showing Bourne as pretty much an ass-kicking ex-CIA assassin who is nearly always a step ahead of his pursuers. It’s always great to hear the phone calls with people who he’s watching from another location and they have no idea until he says something like “You looks tired, you should get some sleep.” Good stuff.

I didn’t think the movie ever really slowed down, you definitely learned a lot more about Jason Bourne than you have in either of the previous movies which was to be expected I guess. I heard today the 1st Bourne movie made $27mil opening, the second something like $50mil and this one with over $70mil. This is making some people think that the Jason Bourne character might turn into another version of Bond and make more than the trilogy. I think this would be a fantastic idea, I can say I’m a huge fan of the Jason Bourne character. All three of the movies have been great.

If you haven’t seen the first two movies, I recommend getting ahold of them and making time to watch them, then go see this movie. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you have to see in the theater, it’ll be just as good on DVD i’d say.
