Just got back from a promo screening. If you love Bourne you'll enjoy this. If you liked bourne, but want a little more out of the next bourne film, this isnt it.
It's funny because I had a pass to a screening of this on 34th Street for 7PM. I decided not to go because I'd heard from a few sources that I trust who'd seen it in earlier screenings that it felt like Greengrass and Damon were just collecting a check and the movie really added nothing new.
I'm not a fan of shaky cam action and hold Doug Liman's first entry as the best in the series. The best fight though is still the fight between Bourne and Desh in the third movie and my favorite moment altogether is near the end of the second movie when Bourne confronts the child of a pair of his earlier victims.
I've always had a soft spot for characters who are fully aware of who they are and what they've done and take full responsibility for their actions even though they may or may not have been fully themselves at the time. See: the Operative in Serenity (his speech to Mal midway through the film). Also Bucky in Captain America: Civil War:
Tony: Do you even remember them?
Bucky: I remember ALL of them.

Its funny there were at least two points in the film when I started thinking about "Scorcher 5" from Tropic Thunder.
