I am not sure when the obsession started with Matt Damon, but it has not subsided in any way. Now "The Bourne Ultimatum"hits theaters August 3. The Bourne movies (have not read any of the books yet) have, for me, redefined what an action movie should be. The mystery that comes with Bourne makes me want more. Who is Bourne, what did he do in his past life that makes so many people want him dead? Hopefully these questions will not be answered in the latest movie because if they are the mystery has ended. once the mystery ends, the movies become the old same rehash of Die Hard or movies by Arnold and Stallone. I personally have had enough of them.
So what happen in the next movie. Here is a synopsis from the book:
From Publishers Weekly
The literary faults and stylistic excesses that characterized The Icarus Agenda , The Gemini Contenders and other of Ludlum's works are present in his latest mammoth thriller, but fans will nonetheless cheer the return of his most popular character, David Webb, aka Jason Bourne, the assassin who never was. When the international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal penetrates his civilian identity, Webb must again assume the Bourne persona to protect his wife and small children. In their renewed struggle, the two master assassins uncover the revived existence of Medusa, the sinister alliance that originally led to the establishment of the Bourne identity. In action that moves from the U.S. to Montserrat to Paris before concluding in Moscow, Bourne and his allies prove incredibly inept, barely escaping the Jackal's traps and failing in their repeated attempts to ambush him. The Ludlum trademarks are present: improbable bloodbaths, repetitive action, stilted and off-the-point conversations and--most annoying--the use of italicized words or entire paragraphs to simulate passion. This is formula writing that delivers even less than its meager promise.
Below is the explosive movie trailer - enjoy:
