Critics Consensus

The Bourne Ultimatum is an intelligent, finely tuned non-stop thrill ride. Another strong performance from Matt Damon and sharp camerawork from Paul Greengrass make this the finest installment of the Bourne trilogy.

The Age (Australia)

t's full of tension, but it's also disturbing on another level: it's hard not to be reminded of recent events.

Rated: 4/5

New Statesman

If it feels like a non-stop demolition derby, at least there's a responsible driver at the wheel. The British director Paul Greengrass makes everything seem more plausible with twitchy camerawork and even twitchier editing.

I'm sure a lot of people will find it thrilling. Me, I just wanted to get headache [or] seasickness tablets.

Paul Greengrass, who also directed 'The Bourne Supremacy, continues his rough and ready style of choreographing complex action scenes on location 'and throwing the audience into the middle of the chaos...

Unless the spectator is prepared to relinquish his or her ability to reflect on things almost entirely for two hours or so, Greengrass's film does not stand up to close scrutiny.

Greengrass knows how to shoot action. There is a hand-to-hand combat scene in Morocco that is as exciting, chaotic and violent as any sequence in the Bourne movies, I just wish he had spent more time on the moments between the mayhem.

Rated: 3/5

Amazing end and even better screenplay. This film has some very memorable scenes that feels fresh and captivating. It’s an emotional rollercoaster let’s leave it at that.

"Bourne Ultimatum" is a rollercoaster ride of a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat, even if it doesn't quite reach the heights of its predecessors. While it's undeniably the best of the Bourne trilogy, it still falls short of earning a full five stars. Matt Damon reprises his role as the enigmatic and relentless Jason Bourne, and his performance is as electrifying as ever. The action sequences are mind-blowing, from the heart-pounding chase scenes through the bustling streets of Tangier to the brutal hand-to-hand combat in the heart of New York City. However, the plot, while intriguing, feels a bit convoluted at times, leaving you scratching your head instead of fully immersed in the story. The film's frenetic pacing can also be exhausting, making it hard to catch your breath. In the end, "Bourne Ultimatum" is a solid addition to the franchise, offering thrills and suspense, but it doesn't quite reach the perfection of its predecessors. If you're a fan of action-packed spy thrillers, it's definitely worth a watch, but don't expect it to surpass the classics of the genre.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Even though this has never been my favorite movie of this franchise and I think its a bit overrated but still it's a well shot, directed and acted movie.

Bourne continues his journey in this movie. Once again proving his intelligence each step of the way. This movie has some of the most memorable scenes from the beginning with him meeting Ross to the fight with Desh. One of the best endings to a movie where more is to come from this spectacular character.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
