Absolutely agree. Seen them all, over and over.

The Bourne Identity was on tv a few nights back. I gave it an hour and a bit and stopped for lack of caring about Bourne or the girl or the hackneyed "I don't know who I am" plot, a lame excuse for a lot of car chases that don't move me. In a way I thought Damon was well cast for someone who has forgotten who he is. To me he looks empty and dull. That's just my opinion.

For a great "I don't know who I am" film, see Amateur by Hal Hartley.

You are the only person I have heard say you did not like a Bourne film. IMO they are all fanbloodytastic.

I'll tell you one film that I found was a pleasant surprise, and was almost completely over-looked, was 'Stardust'. I'm a massive Neil Gaiman fan, and I think the film was a pretty good interpretation of the story, and certainly did it justice. If nothing else, it's worth watching to see Robert De Nero as a Gay Pirate. Having said that, there's much more to this film, and I highly recommend it to people of all ages.

Funnily enough I ordered it yesterday. What is your opinion on The Bourne's Will?

**Will** · 02-26-2008, 08:54 PM

I missed the first film, and consequently haven't watched any of the others. I like Matt Damon, but I find he can get out of his depth now and again. Thought he was briliant in 'Good Will Hunting', and utterly average in 'The Departed', in fairness I thought it was a terrible film anyway, and seem to be the only one.

Yeah, agree about the Departed. Matt however, is perfectly case in the Bourne films.

Just watched it. Loved it, divine escapism!
