My kind of movie 100%. Love it. The character interaction& relationship development, plot subtlety, underlying conspiratorial web. So well done. Spot-on perfect by Renner and Weiss. Great ending!!! 10++++++

After the trilogy with starring Jason Bourne, the Bourne saga makes a change that many fans have left behind, The Bourne Legacy that would have another protagonist and would tell but the history of the Bourne universe, well the result was predicted, a medium film, The cast is good, Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton and etc, but Matt Damon has always been the great protagonist of the saga, a film without it does not work, and this movie was the proof, even though I'm not a fan of the saga, it's It is undeniable that this The Bourne Legacy almost spoils the franchise, even though it is not a bad movie, but it was not necessary, Tony Gilroy's direction is medium, the script has several problems, weak dialogues, unnecessary moments, some action scenes until good , But nothing surprising, and the pace is slow, where it is a tiring, The Bourne Legacy is a medium movie, not bad enough, but should not have existed. Note 5.6

The Bourne Legacy is some kind of an alien. It's somehow related to the Bourne general story and use the same mechanics of the movies.But still there is that feeling of something not really needed. A movie which has been made to keep us entertained while waiting for the real Bourne to come back and as such doesn't bring nothing new to the general plot.I wish it could have been different even if it's still entertaining thanks to the cast general performance. Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton are carrying the movie on their shoulders, keeping it afloat.But this won't change the fact that the script never achieved to really take off and keep us in like the first 3 movies did. The 3 previous movies were served by a script which was always focused on realism. A story about a man struck by amnesia willing to find out who he is only to discover that he's a CIA assassin and he became a high valued liability making him a priority target for his ex-employer.But here it's about one of those CIA recruits, some kind of chemically enhanced super soldier who tries to survive when the CIA decides to shut down the very program he was part of because of Bourne's actions. It seems already weird to see that guy swallowing those mysterious pills and bring some gibberish about it but it becomes clearly out of touch when he has to face that super assassin who would be more fit in Terminator rather than this. What's that? I give a 6 for the cast but besides that, it's definitely not worth the saga.

The Bourne trilogy not only made a stellar contribution to the action genre but effectively established Matt Damon as an unlikely action hero. From it's versatile mix of pulse-pounding thrills and adrenaline-charged action sequences, there is little wonder to why The Bourne trilogy has become a franchise cinema junkies have come to love. But some may ask: was a fourth installment all that necessary? While the franchise has virtually ran it's course required to sustain it as a firmly consistent series, a fourth installment (or perhaps a spin-off) would necessarily be a burden. However, this action thriller goes slightly different direction, taking its focus off the enigmatic Jason Bourne character and bogging down on an all new action hero set. It then all comes down to a plot limited with only narrative connections to the previous films In the process, this involves pulling director Paul Greengrass of the previous two films and the veteran lead Matt Damon out of the picture and substituting Tony Gilroy as director and Jeremy Renner as lead actor. Set shortly after the events of 'The Bourne Ultimatum', the film stars Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross, an agent of a Black Ops agency known as Operation Outcome who are set to expose the sinister agency known as Operation Treadstone who were pursuing after Jason Bourne in the previous films. When it's successor Company known as Blackbriar operated by Colonol Eric Byer (played by Edward Norton) conspire to eliminate him, Cross goes on the run with biochemist Dr. Marta Shearing (played by Rachel Weisz) to take them down.It is understandable that moviegoers everywhere were met with skepticism upon learning that Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass would not be making their return. After all, it can be somewhat hard to fully engage in a newly introduced lead character following the departure of a veteran protagonist who was easily more charismatic. Shockingly though, this stand alone sequel carries a surprising amount for an entry veering off in a slightly unfamiliar territory for the franchise. Jeremy Renner boasts a fairly versatile flair as the freshman action hero Aaron Cross as he sets out to face off against the sinister consequences. Predictably so, he doesn't quite pack the same visceral spirit Matt Damon demonstrated in the trilogy. Nonetheless, he shows off an incredible adrenaline-fueled testosterone that gratefully stands out from the somewhat muddled script. Director Tony Gilroy who served as the writer for the previous Bourne films sets up a nice premise during the first half building up firm connections to 'The Bourne Ultimatum' with Jason Bourne only verbally mentioned several times throughout. The only problem is that the story is bit exposition-heavy for nearly half of it's two and a quarter-hour runtime and at times a bit too talky to the point where it falls victim to an occasionally slug pacing. And the fun doesn't quite takeoff until the final half-hour when we reach a climatic action sequence. From there on, that is when we watch Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz on the run as bullets starts flying and cars starts flipping. These two easily catch the eyes in the midst of the large cast including Edward Norton is given very little to do offer than conspiring the plot to kill the lead character.The Bourne Legacy may fall shallow to the original Jason Bourne trilogy in terms of direction, it still boasts a surprising amount of entertainment enough to distract viewers from the unfavorable absence of Matt Damon's Jason Bourne. In conclusion, it is a slick action thrill ride that works fine even if Tony Gilroy's script and direction suffer in a few areas.
