vrod2011 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Just finished watching it. It's a very fun movie, great story, great suspense. Once again, the normal Hollywood crap where the right wing of government is made out to be the bad guy. But, that is very easy to overlook. If you are a fan of this series, you won't be disappointed. Last scene, did anyone catch the gun mess up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatMeerkats Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Saw it today and loved it! I guess I wasn't paying enough attention though -- what was the gun mess up? I saw that Bourne had a Glock near the end, so my guess is the bad guy cocked a striker-fired gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Total disappointment. Paul Greengrass uses a "manic", shacking handheld camera for the entire film. It's used here to REPLACE the action and suspense we're used to in this fine series. This is a disjointed mess. An uninspired effort. Greengrass hopes that bad film can be camouflaged with...bad photography. Save your money. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 My wife and I went to see it last night; I thought it was a good movie, maybe not as good as the first two but worth the price of admission IMO. I missed the gun mistake at the end as well. The one thing is I wish they would have ties up a few more lose ends in the story; I never read the books (probably should) so maybe they tie things up a little neater.

XRe Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 The cinematography gets old... And, yeah - is that a Sig or a Glock??? No, maybe it was a Sig... Are you sure it wasn't a Glock?? Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrod2011 Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Yep, the start of the scene, he's holding a Glock. Later on, its a Sig. It's the rear sights that gave it away for me. Edited August 4, 2007 by vrod2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterment Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Just watched it the movie and it was worth watchin' the prop mess up was noticable. What annoyed me more was the obvious deveation in the cameras pan toward Jason's "Sig Pro" in his waistband earlier in the movie. There are tastful product shots and there are tastless product shots, that was tastless. Not mention half way through film the movie turned off and the lights came on for a couple miniutes and the same thing happened at the end, we didn't even get to see the credits. I'll be writting Regal Entertainment Group about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos SC Shooter Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yep, the start of the scene, he's holding a Glock. Later on, its a Sig.It's the rear sights that gave it away for me. There were two mistakes. 1 - was the Start with a Glock end with a Sig issue that vrod mentioned 2 - in the same scene he did in fact cock a striker fired pistol before he pointed said glock in the face of the bad guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Ellis Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The wife has read the books and was eagerly waiting for this film. Her response... "I don't know what script they used but this was nothing like the book." Then over dinner she went over the movie vs. book differences. Way more than I can relate here. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. Not an Oscar winner. Not even close to the book. But I did enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've only read the Bourne Ultamatum book and not the other ones, when I saw the preview, I went WTF. In the book, Marie is still alive, and David Webb is in his 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrod2011 Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 There was a made for TV version of the Bourne Identity made in the late 80's that was pretty good as well. If you can find a copy, its worth the price of the rental. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094791/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to my mom who has read all 3 of the books and according to her the movies have little to do with the books besides the character's names.

John Heiter Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, this is one case where the books have "gun glitches" too. In one of them, Bourne "proves" he wasn't the one who shot an innocent person because he was shooting a Glock 21, and as everyone knows the "effective range" of a Glock 21 is only 25 meters. The person who was killed was almost 50 meters from him so there's no way he could have killed her. I kept thinking of my buddy who used to win dinners by betting the other guys at the range that he could hit an 18" gong at 100 meters off hand. He was always good for about 7 out of 10 and I could do 2-3 out of 10 as a C shooter. I guess Bourne must be new to D class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38superman Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I recently saw the movie and thought it was a decent action flick but not quite as good as the first two. It seemed to be an endless chase scene as Bourne out manuevers the security services in major cities around the world. Lots of action and not much of a story. Worth the price of admission but nothing special. There were mistakes on the firearms end of things but I quit thinking about that long ago. Hollywood never gets it quite right.

Ed K Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Here's the question. How many cities/countries were profiled in this flick. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevoro Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Guys, There was no gun mistake in the end of the movie. He was having flash backs to his indoctrination into the program. During the flashbacks, he was holding a SIG. During real time, he was holding a Glock. No mistake. I didn't catch him "cocking" the Glock earlier in the movie, but that is possible.

et45 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The camera was too close during the fight scenes but still they were good, however it seemed like a Motorola ad through much of the movie. I did like the last chase/wreck scene.And it was a cocking Glock when he pointed it at the bad guy and a Sig when he removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmap Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I saw this last night. I liked it. I am a huge fan of the Bourne saga and this didn't dissapoint me. I would've liked a couple of changes to it but I still liked it. I did like Identity and Supremacy better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Overall I liked it. And I watched Identity and Supremacy back-to-back before I watched Ultimatum today... so that made it a little more fun. And in addition to the gun screw-ups, there's no way he could stole that Audi (that he drove off the roof, which was a hilarious scene by the way) by just ripping into the wiring. I don't care too much about the technical screw ups though. I just like his character... Always aware, cool-headed and decisive. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNorth Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The wife and I thought it was pretty good. I caught the cocking of the glock but didn't notice the Sig/Glock discrepancy. My wife made a comment about the amount of camera movement in the fight scenes. She said it made her dizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Good movie, but not the best of the three. Although the fight scene in Morocco was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
