• A sequel

I am personally convinced that Paul Greengrass suffered some traumatic childhood incident involving a camera tripod. KEpt thinking "this scene is two characters sitting at a dsek talking, STOP THE SHAKING ALREADY, you HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY."

And also, yeah, what would the sequel be? Ohoh Bourne, *yet someone else* working for the CIA is out to get you! Hmmm.

I agree that sequels are out, but how about one set between this and the one previous?

We could call it... The Bourne Penultimatum.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM SO AMUSING.

Yesssss! A bloody tripod! The same sort of crap was happening in The Bourne Supremacy, but not in The Bourne Identity. It's supposed to be some ghastly modern idea of how to convey "action" and "energy" but it just gave me motion sickness, and my companion got a headache.

Grrrr-rrr.

The same thing happened in Transformers, to the point where you couldn't actually see the robots, and it pissed me off.

Incidentally,

Item five contains one of the first four items.
