Matt Damon was born to kick-ass. the Bourne Supremacy. Jason Bourne is forced to assume his former life as an assassin after being framed for a botched CIA operation. Okay this is going to be a short review for this movie so let's go.the action is breath taking and the writing is well done.

The forgetful superspook trots the world again when he is framed for the death of two agents and sees his girlfriend killed by one of the conspirators leading him to go on the shaky-cammed warpath. All the grittiness and character dynamics of the original are replaced by the inevitable flashy car chases and shoot outs, leaving no room whatsoever for character development or emotional drama. It's all very slick but completely superficial and the constant fast cuts and wobbly camerawork ended up making me feel seasick. If you want depth, forget it. If you want slickly entertaining but brainless popcorn entertainment, look no further. It's got brainless in spades.

Like most sequels, the second Bourne film is a bridge between the inventive first film and brutal third. What it does well is maintain the frenetic and paranoid pace of the franchise that places the audience in the hero's shoes and injects even the most simple scene with a high level of tension. Entertaining from start to finish.

Great sequel. Every bit as good as the first. My only complaint is that the 'shaky cam' gets a little wild in one particular chase scene that it's very hard to see what's going on. Still awesome in every other respect.

One of the most entertaining films recently. Intelligently crafted. And Joan Allen's presence is pretty damn formidable.

If you ask me, this sequel is one of the few that surpasses it's original. One thing I WOULD change would be the fight scene in the house, the whole thing is close-up and the camera is shaking all around. Please hold the camera still so I can see whats happening. Overall it was a great action flick, the car chase in Moscow was awesome. I recommend it to anyone who liked the original, or for anyone who just likes a good action movie.

Personally my favorite of the series. I know most will disagree with me on that but the plot was great and this one tugs at your heart more so than the first one. And once again Damon is excellent

As entertaining as the original - if even more frentic (what's up with all those cuts anyway?). Still, the Bourne series has one thing going for it: action, good action, fast action, unrelenting action - vapid but fun.
