Caught this sequel a few weeks ago on opening night, but forgot to write about it. It definitely builds on the original that came out two years ago. Just when you thought Jason Bourne was able to escape from his unknown past, a sting operation that goes bad brings him back into the CIA's sights.
Pretty textbook storyline with a familiar cast (Julia Stiles, Brian Cox, Gabriel Mann & Franke Potente are all back) and a few new faces (well, not that new if you watch LotR). Doug Liman (who's currently filming another spy caper, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.) was originally set to direct up to three Bourne movies, but he steps aside to just produce this one and lets rookie Paul Greengrass carry over his style from Bloody Sunday to give moviegoers a bad case of nausea.
In summary: Decent summer fare with good casting and shaky camera work. Still gonna try to catch Anchorman, I Robot, Harold & Kumar, and The Village before they leave theatres. Alien vs Predator and the Resident Evil sequel are the only other movies coming out soon that are worth catching.
