Review of Zootopia Full Movie: Amorous, stout, pale, with a sad mustache and a pair of rimless glasses, David checks (Colin Farrell) in a rural hotel. It should continue for forty-five days and like the other guests, who, men and women, not united, will use the time to get a suitable partner. Someone is not the task will suffer unusual punishment. As head (Olivia Colman), David says: "The fact that you are an animal if you are not in love with someone during your stay here, it's not something you should worry about if you come down What if an Animal will have a second chance. Find a partner. "She tells him that if changed, should limit their choice of love for the same species." a wolf and a penguin can never live together, nor could camel and a hippopotamus, "he says. After a moment, he adds, "it would be absurd." As something that is completely normal.
Only a movie with a tenacious grip on the absurd would that conversation, and "cancer," the first English-language film by Greek director Your's fits the bill. Still, as a strong driving force in the foreground of the story without pausing to fill the background; track by track, we have to work for ourselves. The basic principle of the company, we will understand, is that people are not allowed to be alone. A woman stopped at a shopping mall guard, asking, politely but firmly, to know what happens to her husband; She explains that he is away on business. He asked another buyer solely for his "certificate" to prove to produce a spouse.
The film opens up with Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) hiding in Europe punching the crap out of guys stupid enough to think they can take him in order to cope with the pain he endured so long ago. He is found by his friend and franchise vet, Nikki Parsons (Julia Stiles) who says she has discovered a new CIA program similar to Treadstone called Iron Hand. What does this have to do with Bourne? His father was involved apparently. After the CIA tracks Nikki to Bourne's location, the CIA director (Tommy Lee Jones) sends 'The Asset' (Vincent Cassel) to kill them both. Then, to the surprise of no one, Nikki is killed, but not before she gives Bourne an encrypted hard drive containing all he needs to know about Iron Hand. Now fueled by revenge and a thirst for this revelation about his past, Bourne goes out of hiding to once again uncover the truth.
The story, as simple as it is, still feels like Bourne, and that's thanks to director Paul Greengrass' direction of the franchise. The action, camera work, and performances remain consistent with his previous Bourne films.
Unfortunately this film can't save itself from feeling completely unnecessary. You can feel Universal Studios praying that this film reinvigorates the Bourne franchise, and in a way, it does! It's refreshing to see Bourne back on screen, but it's painfully obvious that even Greengrass wasn't keen on coming back. The word is that unlike previous Bourne films, this one actually had a completed script before shooting. If this Bourne film proved anything, its that they were better off doing the former.
With a title like Jason Bourne, you'd think this would be the Bourne film to end all Bourne films, but sadly, it's a very forgetful adventure with great action and a lazy story. If you're a Bourne fan, it's mildly satisfying. For casual movie goers, Jason Bourne gets tossed aside with the rest of the disappointing blockbusters to come out this summer.
Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne in the fifth entry of the Bourne saga, which still entertains after some years off-screen. Though I still believe the Bourne Ultimatum is the best in the series, the movie still delivers with some action-packed sequences and thought- provoking characters. Directed by Paul Greengrass, who was also at the helm with Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, the movie is able to bring back some of things that made the original Bourne trilogy so good, in particular the incredibly awesome action pieces that are sprayed all throughout the film. It also showcases Paul's signature use of a shaky-camera, and though unconventional, proves to be useful in many situations.
Almost a decade after the end of the Bourne Ultimatum, Bourne (Matt Damon) is still hiding, isolated from the world, where he only joins up in the occasional street-fight. But, his involvement begins when former contact of Bourne, Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles), hacks into the CIA server in attempt to expose information. Files concerning the identity of Jason Bourne and how they attempt to take him down brings him out of hiding.
The film boasts a stellar cast, which includes Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander, Tommy Lee Jones, and Vincent Cassel, all who of whom suited their characters well within the story. The story itself wasn't as intriguing as many of other Bourne films, as there were some minor plot-holes, but it didn't concern me that much. Its ability blends a decent plot with amazing action provides a fulfilling experience for the viewer, in particular, those who are fans of the series.
Matt Damon's Flashback saga continues with the straightforward title 'Jason Bourne'.
Being a huge fan of the last four, yes all four, movies I couldn't believe it when I heard this was in the pipeline. Looking back on how the original film single handedly reshaped the Bond franchise, or how spy movies became more mysterious and gritty in the 21st century, all thanks to an agent who couldn't remember his name, I was sure this long anticipated Bourne instalment would take things to a new level faster than Keanu Reeves could fuck with the matrix.
But like most movies you look forward to seeing these days it was a complete let down. What made the previous Bourne movies such superior flicks was their edgy realism, a factor this chapter completely sidestepped. From the very opening and right through this film you can't help but think, 'wow, that was lame, was that meant to be a fight scene, you know he was impressive in Behind the Candelabra - wonder if he's going to return to acting anytime soon'.
The plot is terrible to begin with, it factors in a very topical issue on cyber security compromising personal freedom, but then fails to really do anything with it or make a meaningful statement. It fails to build on a central character, Aaron Kalloor, with any real depth which is probably the biggest let down in the movie. The character Aaron Kalloor could have evolved the espionage element of the entire series by demonstrating the level of intelligence government agencies now have at their disposal, and perhaps make further assertions on how this information is gathered, collated and processed.
Regardless the Aaron Kalloor fiasco was a mere sub plot to the main storyline of Bourne crying over premature orphanism not unlike 'Skyfall's whingefest, which further disheartened the now growing feeling that this Bourne film was nothing more than a late cash in on an epic franchise.
Further tiresome moments included Bourne once again getting help from inside the agency from the lead female character, a ridiculous clichéd ploy to equate youthful femininity with an innate sense of good moral judgement. What's even more aggravating is how polarised everyone in the movie is, there is so little dynamic in the agency after four movies, you're either in complete shit and the only way out of the dog house is by killing Jason Bourne, or your an intern who has access to more Treadstone e-mails than Hillary Clinton and you decide to commit treason by dropping Bourne some breadcrumbs to get him out of harm's way.
Another burnout factor is that you're not likely to survive longer than twenty minutes unless your name is actually Jason Bourne, all characters are dispensable one dimensional drones who look and act like their predecessor, again diluting the realism and significance of the role characters play in the movies, which damages the franchises ability to build a world fans can truly dive into.
Perhaps if you like ridiculously silly car chase scenes that surpass the boundaries of reason, but you're too heartbroken to watch old Paul Walker movies; you might get some guilt free kicks by fast forwarding through most of this movie.
Or if by chance you've never seen a movie where the good guy chases the bad guy down the wrong side of the motorway, narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic at full speed, you might consider this a poor film with average road rage compilations and a bonus Moby track at the end.
?
However if you love the Bourne franchise and want to protect its reputation in a violent pub fight in New York City some night, don't watch a single minute of this movie, or you could get it on DVD with some popcorn and stay out of New York for the rest of your life, but that's a choice you're going to have to make.
