The Bourne Supremacy Reviews |
Although The Bourne Supremacy disappoints relative to expectations established by The Bourne Identity, it's neither unwatchable nor uninteresting. The continuity is strong and the lead character, while not as compelling this time around, is still worth rooting for. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
"The Bourne Supremacy" is such an incredible piece of direction it's a pity the material doesn't have the depth to stand up to it. ... When the fight scenes and car chases arrive, there's no telling, from shot to shot, what we will see next or how we'll see it. [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
This film is a head above the rest, a thinking person's action film with enough flair, style, and substance to keep you on the edge of your seat until the last bit of revenge has been exacted. This is one hell of a paranoid summer spy thriller and some of the best cinematic entertainment I've seen in a while. [read review] A
--Joshua Sandefur (MovieJustice)
Never has a sequel disrespected its original so shamefully like 'The Bourne Supremacy'. ... A complicated plot does nothing but confuse the audience. Dark lighting, dreary European locations and a more complex hero doesn't masquerade the fact this is just an action flick and it's not really much of one. [read review] 4/10
--Chris Cappola (Movie Marshal)
The acting is superb, the direction immersive, the locales are impressive, with some beautiful cinematography by Oliver Wood, this is a top-notch thriller that should be enjoyed by those who like the first film for its intelligent premise and fantastic stunt-work. [read review] 
--Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
A brisk, engrossing and intelligent thriller... this is a studio production with an indie sensibility. It is not overly complex, but neither is it patronising in the manner of many mainstream movies which emphasise every plot point to exhaustion. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
You'll soon be hearing about it and talking about it yourself, but trust me now when I report: "The Bourne Supremacy" boasts one of the coolest, craziest and most enjoyably intense car chases of the past twenty years. Quite possibly of all time. [read review]
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
The movie is fun stuff -- not silly, not generally funny, but fun, you know? It's serious about what it's doing. It has enough confidence in the genre, and in its superlative material, to refrain from getting self-referential or goofy. [read review] B+
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
But in the end, it's the story and the strong central character that makes this film so special. Bourne's journey for atonement, which is the heart and soul of the film, puts a human face on the hyper-macho world of action movies. [read review]
--Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
...builds on the success of the first film, by also emphasizing action and elaborate set pieces based on retro-style stunt work and on-location photography influenced by early to mid-seventies American crime/thriller films. [read review] 8/10
--Mel Valentin (Movie-Vault.com)
Damon speeds through this espionage thriller with the unwavering intensity of a marathon runner, features steeled against emotion, but the indigo half-moons under his eyes betray a touching soul-weariness. [read review] 
--Megan Lehmann (New York Post)
A worthy sequel that won’t disappoint fans of the first film, The Bourne Supremacy has a decent, fast-moving plot, delivers cracking action sequences and features a terrific performance by Matt Damon. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
The Bourne Supremacy is slightly lesser of a film than its predecessor. As slick as director Paul Greengrass’ style is, his product isn’t nearly as engaging, at times, as Liman’s was. [read review]
--Danny Baldwin (BucketReviews.com)
That the director, Paul Greengrass, treats the material with gravity and uses good actors in well-written supporting roles elevates the movie above its genre, but not quite out of it. [read review]
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
“The Bourne Supremacy” makes up for its flaws with its skilled performances and elaborate action sequences that never go over the top, it’s a good summer movie and a worthy sequel. [read review]
--Dennis Swennumson (eFilmCritic.com)
...the movie is mostly a series of frenetic clashes, dubious near misses and car chases. It lacks the human interest and snowy splendor of the first movie, directed by Doug Liman. [read review] 
--Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
This flick is in the vein of Spider-Man 2: a sequel with more story and less action, a sequel that's better than the original, and a movie you definitely won't want to miss. [read review] 
--Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
‘The Bourne Supremacy’ is a high voltage thriller that visually vibrates with entertainment. Bottle of aspirin for the post-screening headache is not included. [read review]
--Harrison Cheung (Movie-Gurus.com)
...continues the rush of watching unstoppable Jason Bourne, providing a multitude of great moments where Matt Damon can shine in this, his best role to date. [read review] B-
--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
All-in-all, The Bourne Supremacy doesn’t have any meat to offer, but serves up a pretty satisfying appetizer for 100 minutes. [read review]
--Erik Childress (eFilmCritic.com)
There was potential here, and that potential remains, but The Bourne Supremacy doesn't realize it. [read review] 
--Jay Seaver (eFilmCritic.com)
Bourne's actions speak volumes. Smart and silent, Damon is the real deal. [read review]
--Blake Snyder (MovieWeb)
A thriller with a brain, a grown up film for grown ups. Well done, all. [read review] 85/100
--Dan Jardine (Apollo Guide)
