I liked the Bourne Identity movies a fair bit. I kinda thought this was more how I would like to see James Bond until Craig took over that mantle. He does a fine job making Bond kickass just as Matt Damon gives that believable ass kickery to Jason Bourne.
So are we saddened that the Bourne Trilogy is over? Not so much. It was done well, but I am usually against racing with a retired horse. What does Matt Damon think about it?
“Personally, the character means a lot to me because the character has done so much for my career. You know, it put me in the position where I have a lot more choices of kind of movies I want to make,” he said in Tokyo.
“If Paul Greengrass, maybe years down the road, was interested in doing another one, then I would do it, too,” he said. “I don’t think either of us completely put the character to bed yet.”
I would be more worried that they would take it too far, spoil a good thing and ruin a wonderful character that was wonderfully played.
Its bittersweet, but I would sooner Damon left it alone than ran it into the ground. But who knows? Maybe he will revisit the character in the future (clearly he is willing) and they will have another winner on their hands.
