This new film was yet another revamp of The Bourne Supremacy, complete with absurd revelations to justify going through the same plot as last time, revelations which not only turned Bourne into a proverbial "Chosen One" but negated the whole moral underpinnings of the entire franchise. But those are just a few random ways that Bourne 6 could be significantly different from Bourne 2, Bourne 3, and Bourne 5. Think, for example, Jason Bourne/David Webb willingly working for the government on a genuinely moral covert mission (while dealing with moral compromises that occur even in "good" missions) or Bourne being captured or compromised and the various CIA office folks having to use all of their technology to save his hide. I’m not the filmmaker, so it’s not my place to make artistic decisions. We can argue all three original Bourne movies were variations on the same film (Bourne runs from a deceitful government, is hunted by an assassin, gets into a car chase, etc.), but Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity at least looks and feels like a different film from its successors. Plenty of critics noticed this time that Jason Bourne was the same movie they had seen in 2004 and again in 2007. Well, if Universal wants a few more of these, the next time out this franchise needs to do something, anything, different than what it has done before.īack in 2007, I seemed to be the only one who noticed/cared that The Bourne Ultimatum was a glorified remake of The Bourne Supremacy. The franchise had been gone a long time, so they got away with The Bourne Clip Show thanks to audience loyalty. A $110 million global debut weekend, on a $120m budget (an important qualifier), appears to indicate that Universal's action franchise has been "rebourne." At that budget, they can make a few more of these if they so choose.
