Amazon.com:
Good enough to suggest long-term franchise potential, The Bourne Supremacy is a thriller fans will appreciate for its well-crafted suspense, and for its triumph of competence over logic (or lack thereof). Picking up where The Bourne Identity left off, the action begins when CIA assassin and partial amnesiac Jason Bourne (a role reprised with efficient intensity by Matt Damon) is framed for a murder in Berlin, setting off a chain reaction of pursuits involving CIA handlers (led by Joan Allen and the duplicitous Brian Cox, with Julia Stiles returning from the previous film) and a shadowy Russian oil magnate. The fast-paced action hurtles from India to Berlin, Moscow, and Italy, and as he did with the critically acclaimed Bloody Sunday, director Paul Greengrass puts you right in the thick of it with split-second editing (too much of it, actually) and a knack for well-sustained tension. It doesn't all make sense, and bears little resemblance to Robert Ludlum's novel, but with Damon proving to be an appealingly unconventional action hero, there's plenty to look forward to. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Why buy the HD DVD version?
You all know this film. Why buy the HD DVD version? Good question. If you already own an upconverting DVD player, you probably won't notice much difference in the picture quality. Some of the Special Features on the HD DVD are pretty interesting, including features on the car chase in Moscow and the explosion at the house in Berlin. On the other hand, the director's commentary is absolutely awful. He does nothing but tell you what's going on in the movie and what he believes are the characters' ... Read More
Rating:  - wonderful stuff
You would think that after the first one or the second bourne, this might go boring but let me just it was FANTASTIC
Rating: - SOLID FOLLOW UP TO THE ORIGINAL!
Jason Bourne is a welcome change from the normal action movie hero! This is a no nonsense, highly efficient killing machine! As sequels go this is really good and is just as entertaining as the original. I had no problems with the camera work as some reviewers have pointed out. It's a fast paced, action film with an intelligent story! The DVD transfer looks great and this film was followed by a sequel!
Rating:  - Drammamine required
I do not understand Paul Greengrass's choice of camera action. It is highly erratic. A dose of Dramamine is recommended before watching this movie. Perhaps it is a lack of the ability to actually plan a scene? Why plan when we can disguise the lack of scene planning with erratic camera movement????? It is hard to enjoy this movie, take in the scenes when the camera movement makes you sea sick.
Rating: - They should have left him alone
XXXXX
This movie is loosely based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum (1927 to 2001). The plot also incorporates aspects of the Bourne novel "The Bourne Legacy" (2004) written by Eric Van Lustbader (born: 1946).
It is a sequel to 2002's "The Bourne Identity" (as is 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum").
This movie continues the story of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), an amnesiac and former CIA assassin, and his attempt to learn more of his past. This time ... Read More
