  • Just saw Bourne Identity. Not bad, but not overly special, just an average flik. I was expecting a little more considering it was supposed to be a pretty good book

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>If I was to rate the last five "big" summer movies, it would be (outta 10):

1 - Bourne Identity: 8.5
2 - Minority Report: 8.0
3 - Men In Black: 7.0
4 - Mr. Deeds: 3.0
5 - Sum of all Fears: 7.0 minus 7.5 for casting Ben Afflek = -0.5</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I leave out 'acting' of course...since you've admitted the SOAF you watched starred Afflek...

Honestly though, what was good about that movie? Out of all the Jack Ryan flicks, this was easily the worst...

Maybe I would have found it more engaging if I was American?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You think Patriot games was better than the Sum of all Fears? I wouldn't complain about Ben Affleck in Sum of All Fears with Harrison Ford in the last two movies, he's almost old enough to be Jack Ryans grandfather.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>lol. Personally, I'd put both Minority Report and Bourne Identity as 7.0, which is average for me (for the films I'll actually see). Once I see the others, I'll see if I agree with you</div>
