And then there were five. A trilogy that was superb, a fourth that was somewhat different but still intriguing and this one, where Matt Damon returned as Jason Bourne and Paul Greengrass as the director. When I was asked after the movie if I liked it, I really wanted to say that it was great. But it wasn't.
It's certainly entertaining, a fast paced action movie and I love me some Alicia Vikander, but the plot was shallow, the action scenes started to look a lot like an overdone Michael Bay movie (which I clearly do not like) and I missed the intriguing past-recovery from the trilogy. This was merely an action blockbuster and missed the quality of the previous films with Matt Damon. It wasn't a necessary addition to the franchise and although it was made well, acting and production, the script is just not good enough for a Bourne movie.
A thin 7 out of 10.
