    Renner is a guy whose transition into leading man roles always baffled the hell outta me. Predominately because I never thought he had the charisma for and followers rapidly with the fact it never really seemed to work. Like is The Bourne Legacy anyone's favorite movie?

    Tonight’s film is The Bourne Legacy. No protests for me today, so got an early start, but taking another night off whisky. This started well! It set up a mystery to draw me in, looked good, and the first 20 mins were a cavalcade of stars. But it drew out the mystery too long, and isn’t doing much..

    Re-watched THE BOURNE LEGACY a few days ago. The more I watch that movie, the more I think it got a super bad rap. It is, frankly, the second best Bourne movie, and the one whose protagonist I actually care about the most. It's a great action flick, and deserves more love.

    Just watched The Bourne Legacy and I expected it to be much worse based on the reputation that it has. Lose all the MCU-esque references to the previous moves, kill the first like 20 minutes, tighten up the climax, and you've got a solid movie. Some great "guys talking in rooms" stuff going on here.

    Am watching all James Bond films in order, and am amazed at how much of a leap there was to Casino Royale. None of the preceding films even comes close. I’ve read that the Bourne Legacy film’s success helped them find the tone. Anyway, probably the best #JamesBond film of them all.

    I just thought of another fifth movie in a franchise: "Jason Bourne." The first three movies are outstanding, "The Bourne Legacy" is watchable and okay, but "Jason Bourne" seemed flat and pointless to me. Why was he still calling himself David Bourne when he had remembered his real name, David Webb?

    The Bourne Legacy (2012) Director: Tony Gilroy Making this movie was a strange decision. It is essentially just another Bourne film with a different Bourne. It’s fine but what’s the point? Also disappointing that crowds didn’t take to it as clearly was again meant to be part of a trilogy.

    Unpopular Opinion on a Movie™️ - I like The Bourne Legacy and probably rewatch it more than the other three. (“Jason Bourne” is unwatchable in my opinion.) Jeremy Renner does a great job with this “Bourne-Adjacent” story of behind-the-scenes machinations. Builds the universe.

    The plot in NEAGLEY feels out of step with with REACHER. In the sense that what the villains are up to seem more science fictiony but not by much. Its kind like after the original Bourne trilogy we got THE BOURNE LEGACY where that film was really into "chems" which might as well have been magic.

    The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner (not his fault). The movie seemed to end right at the start of act 2, the person I was with and I both looked at each other when the credits rolled and we're like "wait... that's it?" We thought the theater messed it up and didn't play the last part of the film.

    66/100 Because of Bourne's exposure of covert agencies within our government in "Ultimatum", these same agencies decide it's best to shut them all down. Aaron Cross, an agent from the Outcome operation isn't too happy about that. Much more a simple chase film and less an espionage / political subterfuge film, Jeremy Renner does a great job as our star agent and it still works as an exciting international action thriller. In fact, I'd like to see more Aaron Cross but that's probably not going to…
