Matt Damon may have called The Bourne Ultimatum's script 'embarrassing,' but time has proven that the sequel was the strongest entry in the franchise.
While series star Matt Damon may not have cared for The Bourne Ultimatum’s script upon the sequel’s release, time has been kind to the spy thriller. Geopolitical thrillers tend to age poorly.
The Bourne Ultimatum’s Story Was Prescient When The Bourne Ultimatum was released in 2007, Matt Damon didn’t publicize his issues with its script. However, in a 2012 GQ interview, Damon called screenwriter Tony Gilroy’s script for the sequel “embarrassing” and claimed the draft would end Gilroy’s career were Damon to make it publicly available. However, Bourne’s influence on the James Bond movies in the coming years would speak for itself.
The Bourne Ultimatum’s Action Aged Perfectly Speaking of Bourne’s martial arts prowess, Damon’s antihero provided the franchise with some of its best fights, chases, and set pieces in The Bourne Ultimatum. Admittedly, The Bourne Ultimatum’s shaky handheld camerawork and parkour displays undeniably date the movie firmly to the mid-'00s. However, even over a decade later, the bone-crunching fights and high-tension chase sequences still hit as hard as ever.
