Bourne Classified Collection

I got the whole collection on a blu ray in a beautiful steelbook. Can't go wrong with Best Buy. Awesome movies and you must see them before you die. Great action and I thought Matt Damon was softy but he kicks butt in these movies. Must buy!!!

Excellent presentation of the blue ray package and excellent service in Best Buy

All Bourne movies (with the exception of Jason Bourne) in one set. Not to worry... enough room inside the case for the final installment.

This steel book has the first Bourne movies together with a bonus disc of special features in a very nice package. The bonus disc are about an hour of extra special features, mostly highlighting the incredible special effects needed to go into the chase scenes in the movies, and I enjoyed them. As for the movies, the Bourne series is uniformly excellent. The first movie seems very European. Matt Damon makes a great reluctant hero and Franka Polenta is fabulous as the woman dragged into his situation. The second movie enlarges the scope, moving away from the intimate mayhem into more large scale set pieces. The ending sting in New York City feels shocking because the viewer has been in Europe so long. The third film is somewhat frustrating, as the first hour is about keeping Jason Bourne away from NYC, but when he finally gets there, the action goes epic. The joker in the pack is 'Bourne Legacy', which received mediocre reviews. Not as many people have seen this one, and it is a shame. Not only does Jeremy Renner make a great hero but Rachel Weisz is superb as the female lead. I think it ranks up there with the other Bourne film as well as doing other things unique to this film, especially in showing the horrors of a drone strike. Don't overlook this one!

I had never seen any of the "Bourne" movies before but with the buzz of the latest it suddenly became a top priority for me. Thankfully there ended up being a beautiful steelbook available featuring all of the movies and, as a sucker for steelbooks, it was impossible for me to turn away from it. While the standard version of this collection features a spot for the latest movie once released on Blu-ray it does not look nearly as great as this. And while some may have issues with the discs being stacked on top of one another, since Blu-rays are manufactured to be resilient (and as long as you treat them with respect) these discs will have a long life. Digital copies also a fantastic addition as these are also extremely convenient and nice to have. Of course, the movies are great, picture and sounds are wonderful, but we all knew that (or at least I do now). Highly recommended for those that way to not only own the movies but also do it in style.
