...a lot - while it may be the weakest of the trilogy in terms of character development and plot, it more than makes up for it in action.
Roger Ebert once said you know you've seen a good film when you walk out and can't remember where you parked your car.
This film was like that - I got so involved in the action and what's going on that at the end when the lights in the theater came up, I felt a little disoriented.
Definitely the best action film of the summer.
Follow Ups:
I enjoyed it but. I'm tired of the rapid cutting, fight choreography was very good but lost in that rapid MTV style of editing.Plus the scene with
the brother, I'm sure they could afford a tripod or maybe cut down on the
cameramans coffee.
I might go see it again tho cause I did enjoy it.Who would have thought
Matt could be an action star.

Pull the camera away and let me see what's going on. What's the point of choreographing a fight scene if you're not going to show the fighters? Bourne Supremacy was guilty of that too. The first one was ok.

a sense of violence and involvement that a wide shot can't bring. How many westerns have you seen where an outdoor fight scene is almost boring-the absolute antithesis of what the director hoped for. Compare that to, say, the barroom fight in 'Shane'. The small interior dimensions of the set forces close camera work and, because of that, you get to feel the intensity of the violence. To the point, at least for me, of increased heart rate and goosebumps.
The fight scene in 'Supremacy', between Bourne and his fellow assassin in the modern-furnished flat, was just superb: from the tension-filled early moments to the wild, in-your-face camera work, and the use of anything and everything available to defeat your enemy. In one scene, it summed up what these men had been trained to do. To me, it was very, very well done.
