The Bourne Ultimatum

http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/?p=1175

First of all, the writer talks about how a lot of people are complaining about the "shakiness" of the camera. This never bothered me while I was watching it. In fact, I didn't even really notice it. I thought that the way it was filmed really gave you the feel that you were right there with Matt Damon. I really liked that. This blogger is interesting, but in my opinion completely wrong about this movie. This blogger says that the movie has plot problems. He argues that the plot is so simple but it moves so fast that there are holes and gaps left in the viewers mind. I totally disagree with this. I understood this movie entirely and I loved it. It is an action movie and action movies are kind of supposed to be fast paced. If you don't like the movie's pace, then don't see it. The other two films were filmed exactly the same. Did you think it was going to be any different?
I felt like the blogger spent way too much time talking about the quality of the filming. He just kept going on and on and on about it. He argued that the director just tried to excite the audience with how it was filmed, and that it didn't. I totally have to disagree on that. The entire movie kept me on the edge the entire time! The entire series was AMAZING. I do not think that this was one of his best blogs. He totally slammed on one of my favorite movies! Some people may agree with him, but I don't. This type of blog is more for people who like to critique the style and not the movie itself. I was kind of disappointed because the actual plot and acting is the best part. But, that's just my opinion. If you want to read about how weird the camera style of the film, then I would recomend this blog to you. If you liked the movie, don't read it. It just pissed me off. I think the writer could have focused more on the positive.
More people need to focus on positive things nowadays. Everything is so freaking negative, it pisses me off.

The second blog I read was http://tassoula.blogspot.com/2007/08/bourne-ultimatum.html
I really like the varity of movies that she posts.
I agreed with her opinions about The Bourne Ultimatum, it was the best film in the trilogy. But I do not agree that the first one lacked sentiment. There was a great deal of emotions. There was romance and the feeling of not knowing whether they were going to live for the next few minutes. It was very emotional and powerful. I agree with her on several other points about Nicky's feeling for Bourne. I never expected that, but I liked it. I do hope that they make a fourth movie. Her blog is very intersting and I would recomend it for people who love movies. Some of her blogs are short, which is good because she doesn't ramble on and on like some bloggers do. I enjoy her blogs very much.
