Critics Consensus

Jason Bourne delivers fans of the franchise more of what they've come to expect -- which is this sequel's biggest selling point as well as its greatest flaw.

One hour into the movie, you feel like you're watching outtakes from a Mission Impossible sequel.

3/5

It's just like old times. Once again, Bourne hurtles from one grey and gritty European metropolis to another at breathtaking speed... And once again, Greengrass stages the action with bone-jarring immediacy.

Much of Jason Bourne consists of grim action set pieces interspersed with long sequences of people sitting in front of computer screens. Somehow the movie is simultaneously frenetic and static, going nowhere really, really fast.

While ‘Jason Bourne’ doesn’t exactly set the world on fire or bring anything new to the action genre it is a serviceable film that certainly won’t bore its audience.

With high-speed chases and fearsome fight sequences, the visceral spectacle charged with conflict and excitement, anchors nostalgia from the original three films.

2/5

Its rote construction and stakes that always feel like an arm-length away from stronger impact, “Jason Bourne” may be questionable enough to make us wonder if we’ve been seeing the same film four times now.

The other reviews have covered pretty much the flaws of the film. I want to point out another thing that was extremely annoying. It is a multimillion budget film, with great actors. Was it unbearably hard for the producers and the director to make a minimum research (really a Google search at least) on how Greece and Greeks look like? The Greek - Albanian borders are in Pindos mountain range, so the landscape is forests and mountains and not middle east desert. Also Greeks don't look like Arabs or Pakistanis. Albanians either. I mean Matt Damon is all the time in Greece, did it look like Syria? It is embarrassing and offending when Americans distort other people's culture, history and as in here even their very existence

Forgettable. A film where the director thought bigger meant better, but it actually results in being a bland cluttered mess. The huge amount of explosions makes each one no longer matter. Tension is replaced with action. Moments of reflection replaced with...more action. The characters do stupid decisions for the sake of action. two spies trained to operate exclusively in the shadows decide to have an extremely public car fight (not chase, fight) in the middle of the LA strip. Every character seems to have a deep, personal relationship to every other character for... reasons? Overall just a bad film.

If it was "just another action" movie you might forgive its lack of plot and rather pedestrian nature but it DEMANDS that you know Bourne's back history and so makes comparisons with the original trilogy inevitable - and it's as aimless as they were direct and as flabby as they were taut.

A disappointing return to the Jason Bourne universe. Matt Damon still shines but the action feels uninspired and as a whole, it's a lackluster way to end the franchise.

It was fine. I definitely didn't remember anything from the other movies.

Jason Bourne is a competent but uninspired return to the franchise - enough to satisfy fans craving action, but lacking the spark that made the earlier films stand out.
