"doesn't have as much heart or emotional depth..."When he says that, it makes me think of one of those Arnord Schwarzenegger. Like the sixth day. It had good action, but it didn't have any story. Mr. Berardinelli talks about how The entire film is about Bourne trying to get info on his old life. There is no romance is in it, which i think there should be atleast a little to make it a good action film. Even The Bourne identity, and the Bourne Supremacy had a little romance in it.
Mr. Berardinelli also talks about the action scenes.
"One could argue it's a little exhausting, but the action is consistently excellent". The fact that it has good action is a push for me to see it, but it can't just be all action like he is suggesting.
I think that this is a good review. He puts out his point, and states arguments opposite of his. This way, we get a wider view of what critics thought.He is able to show what alot more people think of the movie than just him. This gives the reader a broader opinion of the movie than just what Mr. Berardinelli wrote.
As a whole, I think that the review made me less excited than I was starting out. The review to me, made me think that this was just another attempt to have a triad. Even though Berardinelli it wasn't, it just sounds that way to me, and is no longer interesting.

Jake you are completely wrong in every way. First, the movie the sixth day does have a plot and not a half @$$ed one either. It has a more interesting plot than the Bourne Ultimatum. Also, you said romance should be in action movies!? The only job for a romantic sub plot is to convince appeal to the laddies and to give the hero a +5 bonus to his bullet repeling aura. The romantic subplot killed mission imposible three!
Well I didn't have much interest in this movie to begin with when it came out because I saw the first one and didn't like it. I have heard people say how this movie has great action but never talked about the story line much. Maybe what you say is true, but I would have to watch it to find out.
Nice review Jake. I love how you talk about the compelling action that is included in the final series of Bourne. I have watched this movie, and I can watch it as many times as I want. Once again, great review.
Nice review, however, I think that you assumed that if the reviewer didn’t mention something, it wouldn’t be in the movie. You say that the reviewer never says anything about romance, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s nonexistent to the film. Since the critic focused on the action of the film, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the only thing in the entire movie. Remember that critics have limited space and can’t mention everything.
I think you were right to notice how the critic spoke in two points of view. That is a very important thing for any critic and I’m glad you mentioned how Mr. Berardinelli shows both sides.
Sorry, i had to change my user name, so i'm commenting again.

Great discussion here (Ted's potty mouth aside). I don't have that much to add, since I'm embarrassed to say I haven't seen any of the Bourne movies (though I want to).
Oh, one more thing -- maybe give some examples of the action movies you do like so we know what you're comparing this one to.
Thank you for your review, I will try to write more next time.^^
