Okay, they finally showed The Bourne Supremacy on TV and although I missed the first 30 minutes, which probably made it easier to watch, I thought it sucked. I mean I get the point already. Bourne goes somewhere, they find him, he gets away. Bourne goes somewhere, they find him, he gets away. Bourne tells them where he is, they find him, he runs away. Bourne enters a building. Bourne uses a telephone. Mix with some chase scenes that alternate between boring long shots and confusing closeups, both filmed with shakycam. Repeat formula about a million times. And I really didn't understand the point of the new hot girl character who literally had no part in the plot at all.
So, they didn't riff this. But they riffed the first one. Which I didn't think was too bad, despite pointless anti-climactic "ending." But it was also really long and really really slow, and not a film I would watch twice. That said, how is the riffing on this? Is it worth the 10 + 4 bucks? Will it make up for me having watched the second one? And in point of fact, should I get this on the off chance Riff Raff does the second one? And what are the chances of that?
I really ask only because it's one of the few with all three riffers, and I'd like to get all of those, but this wasn't on my must-get list. And I've seen it. And it's ten bucks. And I have a giftcard. And I have no intention of ever buying Transformers.
The books are better...
I have to agree. The books are much better, despite all being much the same plot.
Speed read the book while listening to the Riff! :rimshot:
It's hard to speed-read ludlum's books; it's like speed-reading a history textbook.
