Customer Ratings & Reviews

I loved the continuation of the whole Jason Bourne/top-secret agent/government intelligence/conspiracy/cover up series. Who could possibly fill Jason Bourne's shoes? Maybe now that we've seen Aaron Cross, as another one of the program's agents gone solo, they'll start a new series with him. Great movie, great action scenes, plots, twists, and turns. The only thing that I absolutely didn't like was how they portrayed the wolves to be the vicious, man-eating, blood thirsty predators in the wilderness/mountains in the movie. They should have done a lot more research on the topic of wolves and not gone with the popular misconceptions of what people think wolves are like. This movie loses points w/ me in that regards. If it had a better scenario involving the wolves, or no wolves at all, I would recommend. Everything else was great.

Yes, its well noted by now that The Bourne Legacy is just a way for Universal to make more money with a different star, and the film suffers a bit because of Matt Damon's lack of presence, but Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross is a pleasant enough diversion. The PQ and AQ is terrific with the 35mm film transfer and a scene or two of digital photography lends itself well to BluRay, with sharp, detailed images and an awesome soundfield to make you duck for cover from every gunshot heard and felt throughout. The extras are pleasant if not totally in-depth with a few features to satisfy temporarily, with the filmmaker commentary being the main draw here. The featurettes are decent as well as some deleted scenes, but overall nothing to get worked up over.

Enjoyed this new movie in the Bourne Series. Not sure it was as strong as the first group in which Matt Damon played Jason Bourne, but it held it's own. I'm glad that they actually created a new group of characters in this one and the actors did a good job of pulling this off. There are a couple of points in the story where I felt they jumped over some elements too quickly and the character was all of a sudden in a different city. However, overall it was possible to keep up with what was going on. This is a good movie with plenty of action to keep the viewer engaged.

If you like the Bourne movies this fourth one in the series, with Jeremy Renner as the test subject, gives you more in the understory of the secret soldier program. This story takes place in the same time period as the third movie; we get a little more insight into the secret soldier program and that the agency is now trying to end it, and the test subject soldiers, to bury the flaws of the program. But of course, in addition to Jason, there is at least one more 'legacy' soldier who discovers all is not right with being a robot after recieving an assignment gone awry. The fun begins and he starts looking for answers in the face of attempted assassinations...

This was a very entertaining movies that weaves itself into the previous installments in very interesting ways. The only bad thing about the film is the same issue I had with the previous two Bourne films (the ones directed by Paul Greengrass, not the first one by Doug Liman) is that there is way too much handheld camera work. In my view, the current overuse of handheld to convey action is lazy and unnecessary and does not in any way reflect how the human eye perceives anything. If you are prone to motion sickness and the previous two films made you a bit dizzy, you will have the same experience with this one.

I'm a huge fan of the first three Jason Bourne movies. I like how his character is developed throughout the three and the story tied together. I felt that having Jeremy Renner (great actor) star in the fourth with no sign of Jason didn't fit. It was already understood that there were other agents in the program, but a whole movie about just one of them? The title is also misleading if Jason Bourne is not actually in the movie. Good action film, but not a good tie in to the original three.

Having been a super-fan of the first three films (after being a super-fan of the original novels), I was reluctant to watch a new "Bourne." Don't hesitate. There is a very good story that connects the films and the embedded flashback scenes from past films also help the continuity. Great chemistry between Renner & Weisz (although not as spectacular as that between Matt & Franka).

Jeremy Renner is good as Aaron Cross, another Jason Bourne type "asset." The movie has an excellent ratio of action versus character development. Thankfully, it also leaves things wide open for another installment. A major negative for me was the depiction of workplace violence, which our society obviously doesn't need any more of. I understand that it was an integral part of the movie, but perhaps it could have been more told about rather than so graphically shown.

If you are a Bourne fan, them this latest sequel will most certainly not disappoint! This movie delivered more than fans were expecting. It's plot held your attention, the action was never-ending, they did a miraculous job introducing the latest "Bourne," and it is so well done that it makes it very difficult to wait until the next one comes out.

Another action packed movie in the Bourne series. Though I missed Matt Damon in this one, it still was decently acted. I did think a few storylines were repeated from earlier movies in the series and would not have preferred this, but overall it did not disappoint. Looking forward to the new movie that's out in theaters now but wanted to watch this one first.

If you have a 4k blu ray player and a 4K tv with HDR, this is a good buy for Series fans. The visual upgrade from standard blu-ray is noticeable, but I would only upgrade if you are a big fan of the series, and want the them all in 4K, as this Jeremy Renner spinoff is a decent movie, but not the same without Matt Damon as Jason Bourne.

I am a fan of the Bourne series and really enjoyed the movies with Matt Damon playing Jason. I guess they felt that they needed to expand the plot or maybe Matt was not available, etc. While I did enjoy the movie, I did not like it as much as the earlier movies in the series.

Despite people complaining about the movie not having Jason Bourne this is still a great movie that ends like the others " wanting another". Jeremy Renner does an exceptional job of playing another agent from the program. Let's hope they make another and maybe the two agents story's might come full circle.

My summary says it all: As entertaining as it is, what truly drove the original Bourne Trilogy was the acting of Matt Damon. Jeremy Renner is too taciturn and shows a little too shallow an emotional range. But, as a continuation of the Bourne tale, it is worth seeing this new story arc.

I really enjoyed the action and story but so much of this series depending on the awesomeness of Matt Damon. I was really bummed he was not a part of this movie. It was a good movie but it simply did not do much for me like the original Bourne Identity. Movies are always personal opinion but this is worth renting.

Really good movie.Jeremy Renner takes the reins as a Bourne-like trained super soldier. Great action sequences throughout but the final "chase" is really well done! If you like action movies, this one is not to be missed. Now that Matt Damon is coming back, maybe we'll have simultaneous franchises!!

Big fan of this writer and director and all the previous Bourne movies. This is definitely a league apart in terms of story, but still good and intelligent movie. I wanted to buy the blu-ray for the bonus features and that is the real selling point for me and the Best Buy exclusive edition is the one to own for that.

The Bourne Legacy is the fourth movie in the Bourne franchise. Although it does not feature Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner does a good job with it. It gets a bit slow in the middle, but it picks up with a fantastic motorcycle chase scene at the end reminiscent of the earlier films.

This movie was good but is just different seeing someone other than Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. I now have the set of 5 Bourne series movies to complete the set.

this is a connection to the Jason Bourne movie series in a different way but is not bad , is very entertaining to watch , but Mad Demon should have done this movie better.
