I saw The Bourne Ultimatum last night. We had to go to the 5:10 pm showing, as the 4:10 pm showing was sold out when we got to the theater. The theater was packed--so much so, that hubby and I couldn't find two seats together--and hot as hell (AC wasn't working).
As for the movie itself, well, hubby liked it; he likes all of those spy-vs-spy-type novels. I thought the movie was a tedious exercise in shaky-cam and very derivative. Heck, even soap-operas have had similar plots. It doesn't help that the protagonist of the story appears to be well-nigh invincible, if not superhuman.
The only reason I went to see it was because I like David Strathairn, but his role as Noah Vosen was a one-note disappointment and not worth having to sit through all of the camera jiggling.
My recommendation: save your money. Rent it on DVD if you must.
