| Posted by: quoth_the_raven at February 3, 2003, 2:23 pm | | Topic: Reviews: The Bourne Identity Forum: JoBlo | | ahhh i smell the smell of hollywood action filmy-ness. perfect stuff for me. personally i like fighting, guns, and big explosions. so i was surely looking forward to this film. and it did not disappoint me at all. Matt Damon was amazing here. i have never exactly been a fan, but man, he took to the role well and i thought he was pretty believable. and the boy dun good when it comes to the whole action scenes thing. i didnt think he could do it, but hes a pretty convincing ass kicker. overally he handled himself pretty well. Franka Potente is pretty good as well as the poor lass that gets dragged into all the fun (sorry, i mean life or death chase). i havent seen her in anything much before, but yeah i like her. and clive owen deserves a special mention here. the man is about the only candidate for James Bond once Pierce hangs up his shoulder holster. picking up one or two points others have made here, that i totally agreed with. was Julia Stiles there just to provide a little eye candy? cause she didnt really have much to do other than look fairly hot in this film. shes a fair actress and was wasted in what sort of looked like a hastily flung in cameo. also that horrible ending. why why why why why why did they insist on wrecking a fairly good film with a cheesy ending? that really does piss me off sometimes. why cant we have a good, dark ending to a film more often? i dont wannt Jason getting all happy with his lover. so gripes aside, it was entertaining stuff and it kept me out of moisture we call weather over here. so, a pretty good action movie, spoiled mainly by a cheesy ending, for which it has lost a point. 7/10 |
