      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It isn't quite as compelling as the earlier trilogy, but The Bourne Legacy proves the franchise has stories left to tell -- and benefits from Jeremy Renner's magnetic work in the starring role.

      Monica Castillo Dig Boston This is not the Bourne sequel you were looking for. Sep 24, 2012 Full Review Leonard Maltin indieWire (Renner) has the required intensity and physicality to make his character-a highly-trained, genetically enhanced undercover agent-completely believable. Aug 24, 2012 Full Review Chris Stuckmann Moviedex The Bourne Legacy exists only as a failed attempt to squeeze more juice out of a once-reputable franchise, which is hardly a legacy worth leaving. Rated: 2.5 Aug 22, 2012 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson With all of the detail being presented of this new area taking place beside the previous timeline, The Bourne Legacy is a little overwhelming to follow. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review When it’s all over, and we reflect on what was accomplished in The Bourne Legacy within the larger Bourne mythos, it’s clear this entry is a superfluous, if very entertaining ride. Rated: 3/4 Oct 3, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies While Gilroy does occasionally struggle matching up with earlier films, the movie definitely has its moments that nicely falls in line with the series.

      Aileen D I thought this was the best of the Bourne series, which were tops overall. Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz had great chemistry and it was a fine supporting cast. Good stunts, generally credible plot, fine photography and direction. I don’t understand why the ratings were so low. I’ve seen the movie at least five times, I like the last line asking “are we lost?” because their good chemistry was so believable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review The_Matthew S I am in the few who love this film. Great action and thrilling set pieces. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review diana Jeremy and Rachel were phenomenal in this movie...no arrogant and over the top sentimentality nor unnecessay lengthy dialogue. Jeremy did the bulk of his stunts, and I watch it over and over again to see him walk a roof at an angle and then slide down the side of a building from the roof to save Rachel's character...clever and beautiful. Plus, in the end she saves him after he had gotten shot. The two had a sweet chemistry... nothing lewd or over the top. The other Bourne movies were very good, of course, but Legacy is very very special. It teaches survival and staying calm and focus when all hell breaks loose around you and respect for others. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review matthias s "The Bourne Legacy" takes us on a thrilling rollercoaster ride that begins with a bang but unfortunately loses some of its steam towards the end. Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz deliver strong performances, injecting fresh energy into the franchise. Renner steps into the shoes of a new agent, Aaron Cross, and his portrayal is both charismatic and action-packed. Weisz shines as the scientist caught up in the chaos, adding depth to her character. The film's first half is a pulse-pounding spectacle, filled with intense action sequences and intriguing plot developments that keep you hooked. However, as the story progresses, it meanders and becomes a bit convoluted, leaving some loose ends untied. While Renner does an admirable job, it's hard not to miss the magnetic presence of Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. In the end, "The Bourne Legacy" is a decent addition to the franchise, offering moments of excitement and suspense, but it falls short of the high standards set by its predecessors. It's worth a watch for fans of the series, but don't expect it to reach the same heights as the earlier Bourne films. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Grant R utterly pointless. villains sucked. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Bruce L Had to give this a 5 Star rating to balance the absurd negative reviews of this movie. It's far more memorable than the 3rd and 4th installments of the films featuring Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Ritter give excellent performances and Edward Norton continues the tradition of abhorrent and ruthless government operatives. If you liked the first 2 Jason Bourne movies you will not be disappointed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
