layne67I can't wait for this movie to come out. So much so that I'm kinda afraid that I'd be disappointed with it. You know, the kind of feeling that you get when you have very high expectation towards something. But so far, most of the trade reviews have been very good.
An excerpt from Variety:
If they could bottle what gives "The Bourne Ultimatum" its rush, it would probably be illegal. The third and purportedly final installment in the mountingly exciting series is a pounding, pulsating thriller that provides an almost constant adrenaline surge for nearly two hours. Worldwide B.O. will be terrific and likely surpass that for each of the previous two pictures, which combined pulled down more than $500 million.
In setting Jason Bourne on the home stretch of his search to discover who and what made him the killing machine he is, director Paul Greengrass has outdone himself, creating a film of such sustained energy and tension that the infrequent pauses for breath seem startling in their quietude. In other hands, unrelenting nervous camera movement and machine-gun cutting prove wearying more often than not, but Greengrass skillfully employs both not only in the service of excitement, but for the accentuation of telling detail and discreet parceling out of information.
It may not have been entirely apparent at first, but Bourne is unquestionably Damon's signature role, the one in which a viewer becomes most complicit in the actor's identification with a character. The subjective camerawork merely augments the degree to which one is completely with him in the series, and if this is indeed his last "Bourne," as he has said, then this is a performance to be savored all the more.
Matt and his buddy Ben at the world premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum in Los Angeles SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
And hey, Matt now has his own star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
"Ben and I lived in a really crappy apartment about five blocks away from here and we used to walk up and down here. It'll probably sink in when I've walked down the street in about six months and see someone peeing on my star," he laughed.
Here's the congratulatory ad from Jimmy Kimmel LOL.

Btw, did you read Sean Astin's book 'There and back Again'? He talked about Matt Damon, I think he was with Matt in 'Courage Under Fire' or maybe it was another film, I can't remember, and Sean was Matt was a great guy. He said a lot more than that but I can't remember exactly what.
