The Bourne Idiosyncrasy

I just finished watching the Bourne Supremacy and I officially have healthcare. Clearly the first is more important

I have to admit, the Bourne Identity was a bit disappointing. While I applaud the creativity of the idea and I'm sure it was a hell of a book, I feel like the story was incredibly rushed along. Given the formulaic pattern of movie lengths, I understand why things were so condensed, so I was willing to proceed along the trilogy, soon to be a quadrilogy in 2012. For example, I would have loved to see some background on the other assassins. What a waste of Clive Owen. I'm thrilled that they kept Julia Stiles off the screen for as much as possible though.

The Supremacy was decent enough. I just don't understand why it's so important to kill Bourne. It's not like he possesses all these secrets. Yet, here I am watching fight scene after fight scene, very fast paced. Chase scenes, all of that. Frankly, I haven't seen the third one and I can already tell you what it's about. The CIA goes looking for him for some BS conspiracy reason and Bourne kicks their asses and manages to prove that he's right and they made a mistake. Fighting and chase scenes mixed with Hollywood's stereotypical government agency bureaucracy dialogue that Fox's 24 manages to do so well.

I hate to digress already on my second post back, but what is it with government agencies and power clashes in Hollywood? It's so boring. Can't these government agencies just work together?

I suppose the beauty of all of this is that we're watching actors pretend that they know what it's like to run covert investigations and track government assassins. Blowhard after blowhard, rarely making shrewd decisions. I'll have you know that even covert organizations have employees with a sense of humor. Think Mission Impossible III and Enemy of the State. Yeah I know I just listed 2 movies whose main characters I hate, but they make my point.

Ok Time to watch how the CIA will misunderstand something about Bourne while other people set Bourne up to be killed and Bourne ends up showing the CIA they were wrong.
