The Bourne Legacy "Brief" Review

The Bourne movies have been pretty successful thus far and made a pretty good trilogy.  Does the Bourne Legacy live up to the first three?  Answer: no.  Film Crazy Adam went to see The Bourne Legacy believing he was going to see a summer spy action movie.  Thought he was.  Instead he doesn't really know what he saw.  It might've been a movie about spys...maybe?  It might've had something to do with Jason Bourne...maybe?  It might've been good...maybe?  This was the biggest let down of the summer - a bigger let down then hearing that GI Joe Retaliation was moved to March.  This movie made promises and didn't keep a single one.  The worst part about this movie: it was boring.  They made a boring spy.  How do you do that?  How do you make a boring spy movie.  Seriously, how do you f*%k that up?  Spy movies by their nature are thrillers.  There was NOTHING thrilling about this movie.  There wasn't much action, and when there was it was repetitive and/or hard to follow.  There was NO tension in this movie, dramatic or otherwise.  This movie wasn't worth it.

And upon further research, this movie has NOTHING to do with the Bourne series. The first trilogy was based off books by the same names. There is a book called "The Bourne Legacy" which follows "The Bourne Ultimatum." But that book stars Jason Bourne and the events of this movie literally have NOTHING to do with that book. This movie is a lie!!!
