I'm pretty sure Damon has said he doesn't want to do any more Bourne movies. One part of me wants this trilogy to wrap up perfectly and stay that way forever. The other part is the one that paid to see Live Free or Die Hard. I still feel dirty.

Spoiler *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Only gripe: why no wrap up of Nikki's claim of a prior relationship with Jason? He still doesn't remember her.

I hate to that this is the end of this series even though I understand why, I just love these movies . Movies this great are hard to come by and I think these movies have set a tottlly new standard for action movies, it has for anyway and dont think any thing will come close for a long time. Thanks for such a great trilogy.

The movie was great fun, though not as solid the first two. A little more sloppy, but who cares? I hope that--down the road--they do at least one more film. There are still aspects of Bourne's character to explore: why he chose to join the program in the first place, his relationship with Nikki, etc. But I feel they will need to get away from the CIA baddies and try something fresher. All in all, a satisfying threequal.

this is actually, to me, the best action film ever next to italian job with mark wahlburg.. its way different from all movies..its not just a kill him kick his ass movie its also an oh mann this guy is so smart and clever kind of movie.. especially in the train station where he directs the guys every move so he cant be seen from those cameras..effing brilliant! he never gets caught and you just wonder how the hell he does it.. and yea i agree that they should do another movie..just one last one to see what happened after he swam away..and im also wondering what happened between him and nikki..why didnt they cover tht part? my mom was just watching entertainment tonight 10 mins ago and they said that its rumoured tht they might have a sequel to the ultimatum..i hope thats true..i need to see bourne one last time.

SPOILER Yes, I too was a little put off that Nikki's supposed relationship with Bourne was never really explained or put into detail, that really saddened me. When Jason was watching Nikki die and cut her hair, it was an exact flahback to The Bourne Identity and Marie. I figured at that monent, coupled with Nikki's claim that they dated, that Jason would kiss her like he did with Marie, but I guess that was wishful thinking. I just wanted more detail, because when she said that line, my mind ran off with Jason and her being an item once and I retraced all the movies to figure out why she never brought it up before. I LOVED this film, best action movie I've seen in a very very long time and that fight with Desh completely solidified it. I too Ken am very sad that we won't be seeing Bourne on screen anymore and although I'd love too see him again, I know if we did, it would really tarnish the series' reputation. So, I'm happy with this ending, great action and an ending that was pretty obvious. Duh, he volunteered, no shocker there. I just wanted a tighter ending, it was pretty loose. I wanted Nikki and Jason to be on the run together, or have Jason meet up with Nikki at the end like he did with Marie in the first. Also, it would make sense that Jason would meet up with Nikki, because she could tell him more about who he was, seeing as they dated supposedly. I just didn't like the up in the air ending with Jason swimming away. I still have some questions I really wished were answered with the ending. Here's to what could have been though, great film all around, 9.5 is perfect score for the film. If the ending was tighter, it'd be a solid 10, no doubt. Byt Bye Bourne, we'll miss ya, God, John Rambo is gonna suck.....

SEQUEL or PREQUEL is still possible for Bourne's comeback !!! ***Possible SPOILERs included *** I had actually missed the first one in theater until my friend asked me if I had seen The Bourne Identity and when I said NO he got it on dvd and since then I have become a huge Bourne fan. I also went and read all the Bourne books and am going to read the latest The Bourne Betrayal soon. It is way late in the night and so I am just typing whatever comes to mind, but I am damn sure that a couple of more Bourne movies can still be made. For starters, there can be a prequel made where we learn about who David Webb is and how and why he was trained to become Jason Bourne, perhaps by using the main story from the book about him vs Carlos the Jackal and with some real good training stuff that would include martial arts, avoiding traps and detection, using weapons and technology to some superb driving skills lesson would make a really exciting movie. Add to that a part about Bourne/Webb being an army guy with family and his family gets killed with no bodies found, specially of his son (leaving a chance for his son to come back in another Bourne movie) and Webb/Bourne going into the Treadstone program to become the lethal weapon he is. I am sure this storyline would make an awesome movie. Just like it was fun to watch how batman became batman or how spiderman became spiderman, I am sure it would be awesome to watch Bourne become Bourne the lethal weapon who is damn hard to find and slippery as an eel. This story line could also include his romancy with Nikki that we get a hint of in the third movie (The Bourne Ultimatum). Add to this some really good cat and mouse chase between Bourne and say Carlos the Jackal or some other bad guy where each one sets up traps for each other, some exciting new locations and we got a damn good movie. Though I would wish that this time there won't be too much of the free-hand camera style else it becomes really hard to figure out what is going on. Somewhat like that Tangiers scene where he jumps through a window and if you blink you would miss the shock on the face of the people who see him come crashing into their home! The SEQUEL could be made using the above storyline in flashback mode as well and add some bad guys that are either from his past or want to get him blamed for some stuff he didn't do and that would work as well. Perhaps with him and Nikki gone into hiding and Bourne getting most of his memory back along with Nikki's help, the memory flashbacks could use parts from the stuff I mentioned above. So yeah there is a possible story or two that can make Bourne come back to the big screen. Hopefully the director and Matt Damon read this and decide to make a couple of more bourne movies and we can all enjoy more of Jason Bourne. As far as Ultimatum goes, I wish they had made it a bit longer, it is so awesome that once I was in the theater and then I was out thinking just one word: WOW ! I am definitely going to see it a few more times on the big screen for sure. *** For KEN EVANS : I totally agree with you about that train station scene. It was simply AWESOME and perfectly described the word : Breath-taking, as you would not breathe until it was over and once it was you would take a long breath! ** Bourne in BOOKS for those who want to read up: 1) The Bourne Identity 2) The Bourne Supremacy 3) The Bourne Ultimatum --- the above 3 books are by Robert Ludlum 4) The Bourne Legacy 5) The Bourne Betrayal ---- Legacy and Betrayal, these 2 books are by Eric Van Lustbader.
