All Critics (236) | Top Critics (44) | Fresh (229) | Rotten (16) | DVD (28)
While the crunchy fights and unflagging pace ensure this delivers as genre spectacle, the muddy ethics also make for a pleasing contrast with standard-issue wham-bammery.
Top CriticNot only far and away this summer's best three-peat, it's a pulse-pounding peak to Matt Damon's spy trilogy.
Watching The Bourne Ultimatum is like being strapped to a vibrating bed set on high for two hours in a cheap motel.
A great action movie, exhilarating and neatly crafted, the kind of picture that will still look good 20 or 30 years from now.
We've waited all summer for a wild ride to grab us with more than jolts. Now it's here. Hang on.
Fans of 24 will be amazed to find a hero who makes Jack Bauer seem like a study in sissydom.
You know, I used to think Matt Damon was kinda like a Streisand, but he's rocking the shit in this one.
Beneath the heart-racing action, Ultimatum strains to show how aggressive Bush-era tactics lead to our moral ruin.
The third Bourne movie keeps us enthralled by tapping into the surveillance-induced paranoia of the CCTV era.
We need an action hero to fit the times. Someone confused. Jason Bourne.
The Bourne Ultimatum is a thrilling and riveting action movie, played out on a global backdrop and a liberal political tone.
Greengrass comes full circle from the War on Terror film that bit its tongue to the popcorn flick that speaks volumes.
The best action film so far this summer.
Um desfecho à altura do ótimo padrão estabelecido pela trilogia, ainda surpreende graças a uma inteligente estrutura que, brincando com a linha narrativa da série, comprova o cuidadoso trabalho dos realizadores em sua concepção.
The Bourne Ultimatum keeps the pedal to the floor and burns serious rubber.
A significant achievement, held back but not much diminished by the unavoidable excesses of the genre.
two hours of powerful action and ultimate escapism
Ultimatum isn't just the best film of the franchise - it's the best action film of 2007.
As spy flicks go, The Bourne Ultimatum is the perfect chaser" to this successful series.
Bourne comes home, full-speed. Best yet.
It twists and turns without losing its footing, and its hero, an international man of mystery even to himself, is always ahead of the game, daring his would-be assailants - and the audience - to guess his next move. The trick is to try and keep up.
The Bourne Ultimatum rencontre, et surpasse même, haut la main les standards de qualité déjà très élevés fixés par ses prédécesseurs.
Audience Reviews for The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne trilogy is quite possibly the only series of film's in history in which every subsequent movie is better than the last. The Bourne Identity was a pretty mixed bag and wasn't anything more than a passably satisfying debut. I felt it was too slow and unevenly paced and lacked the action packed edge despite the fact it was well crafted for psychological effect. Then Paul Greengrass took over as director for The Bourn Supremacy and brought everything together. He brought terrific second unit directing to the table and demonstrated that Bourne was about action as much as profound character drama. It was a tremendously thrilling improvement. In the case of The Bourne Ultimatum, what you get is fast paced, emotionally engaging and action packed, and you simply cannot take your eyes off it for a second. Matt Damon's movingly compassionate performance from the previous films is at it's best in Ultimatum. This particular installment in the long-lived and oddly continuing franchise also features the best car chases, the most riveting action choreography and the tensest climax to an action film in recent memory. It may be slightly repetitive but that doesn't alter it's entertainment value in the slightest. Intelligent, thought provoking, whilst maintaining a hard-hitting and explosive ruthlessness, it's the best of The Bourne movies as of yet and another brilliant directing achievement for Paul Greengrass.
