I gave it an 8.  My least favorite of the Riffs with all 3 guys.  Still pretty enjoyable but not one I'd watch over and over again. 

Minnesota

Finally got to watch this one. 10 (rounded up from about a 9.8 )

This is only my 6th RiffTrax...but, it is so far the BEST!!  Laugh-out-loud hilarious!  Well done!

Parturition Squeeze

I watched this for the first time last night and absolutely loved it.   The most non-stop riffing I've seen so far, and man are they "on."  For some reason I wasn't really looking forward to Bourne, but it immediately moves into my top 5.
Towel, please.

I was surprised by the (relatively) lower all-around reception this Riff seemed to get, because this one is easily among the most enjoyable ones I've seen.  Solid stuff all-around, and every bit as good as Daredevil and Transformers, to me at least.
Featuring the taxpayer-funded efforts of Blue Raja, Hellcat, and Skyroniter!

Although I felt there was a slight sag in the middle (though it was late, I was tired, and the Bourne Identity is a 2 hour movie), I felt this deserved a 10. Unlike some riffs where some gags just seem to sputter and fall flat in-between all the good ones, this was just solid all the way through.

Digging into the "never got around to it" archives... I found The Bourne Identity. I remember that I enjoyed the source movie... it was a decent action flick... so let's give the riff a try.

Well, I was left a little flat by this one. This is probably due to the fact that I found myself actually entertained by the movie. I'm sure that wouldn't be as big of an issue if I watched this one again right away... now that the movie itself is fresh in my brain.

That said, the guys nail a decent chunk of gems... but a lot of the recurring stuff fell flat. I dunno... it just didn't seem like the movie gave them a lot to work with compared with some of their other efforts. I was reminded of the old MST3K setup where Joel would look at one of the bots and just say... "That's a reach". That's how I felt about a lot of Bourne Identity... the laugh out loud zingers were surrounded by a lot of reaching to keep the microphones warm. 5/10

I was a little apprehensive with this one, since I really enjoyed The Bourne Identity. But then I realized that I also like Saw and loved that riff, so I went for it.

There were a couple stretches were the jokes fell flat, but for the most part they were forgiven for some absolutely brilliant parts (gotta love just about everything in the Paris apartment, especially the water talk). I took a point off because I also like Matt Damon, so the constant jokes about him (however funny) got a little grating after a while. So 8/10 overall, a good riff with some great parts.

Also, I really loved the American Beauty stab at the end(that's probably the best movie I don't really like, and that was a great joke).

Just caught up with this one.    I gave it an 8 too.  Overall very enjoyable. So far I've been pretty happy with their work on good movies. It forces them to concentrate their riffing on what's going on in the film as opposed to spending half their time just ripping apart the movie. The former type of riffing inspires them to be more creative.


not so bad really

I enjoyed the irony of Mike commenting on someone else having a square head.  :D

Watched it again recently. I think it's my favorite of the one's I've seen. 8/10 (You kids these days give out tens like they grow on trees! Why, I...), excellent riff.
