Bourne Ultimatum Target Exclusive Limited Edition


Customer Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) "This is where it started for me, this is where it ends"   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
First of all, it you haven't seen The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, then make sure to watch those first. Ultimatum picks up right where Supremacy left off. You will be completely inn the dark if you don't watch those Identity and Supremacy first. The government is back after Bourne and are once again sending their best agents to take him down. Joan Allen wants to help Bourne, but there is no way her superior would allow that. The story isn't nearly as original as the first 2 movies, but it is a GREAT continuation. I don't really want to give anything away, but I will say that it is very intense and has probably the best spy sequence ever filmed where Bourne is trying to help out a reporter that the government wants to kill. The action is also great. The fight scenes are the best in the series by far, and of course there is a car chase. The movie is intense throughout the entire running time. If you blink you will miss something. If you are fan of the first 2 movies, you will be very pleased with the 3rd. I only had 2 problems with the movie. Bourne has a bomb blown up right by him, he gets in a horrible car wreck, jumps out of buildings, it just goes on and on. By the end of the movie he is limping, but it just isn't believable. I am willing to overlook that though, because the movie is just so darn good! My only other problem is one I am sure nobody but a select few care about. Scott Adkins has a very small role and has a fight with Bourne in an apartment, but he doesn't get to show off any of his moves. If you have seen Isaac Florentine's Undisputed 2 and Special Forces, then you know what he is capable of. It is a shame he isn't used properly, but it just goes to show where Scott Adkins stands in Hollywood. I don't want to make this a Scott Adkins review, but be sure to look for him in the next Jean Claude Van Damme straight to video release called The Sheperd. It looks promising. If this is the end of the Bourne series, I am fine with that. It is a good ending. 4.5/5 If this was only a 4 star movie, I would probably still have to give this DVD a 5 star rating. The special features go into very great detail on how the movie was made. This is a 5 star movie in my eyes with or without the special features, but I was very glad to see how good the special features are. I couldn't have asked for any more than this. And to my surprise, Scott Adkins gets more screen time in the special features then he does in the movie! This Target edition doesn't have any extra special features that the regular release doesn't have, but so what, it is still a great movie.

2) This is crappy case idea, but the movie rocks!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I picked this up on tuesday at target, and let me just say i could have saved 8 bucks if i would have just bought the regular dvd! This so called "Limited Edition" is merely just the regular $16.99 version with a horrible looking faded gold case and a tiny booklet called TOP SECRET Bourne Ultimatum files. There is nothing new in the files booklet, just some of the characters from the movie and a couple of fight moves. Just buy the regular dvd and save yourself some money. Anyway, this movie is by far the best movie ive seen this year. Two Thumbs Up! Love all the key elements to this film. Matt Damon is awesome. Get It!!!
