Sequels better than Originals - No. 2 - The Bourne Ultimatum

This film brings the perfect trilogy full circle. The action is sequences are bigger especially the car chase/crash scene. Very on-the-edge-of-seat moments including the Waterloo Station scene and the chase scene in Morocco. There are some very clever nods to the first two films and the last scene mirrors the beginning of the first film. The ending very emotional. Matt Damon is at his very best (I'm surprised he doesn't get enough Oscar buzz). Julia Stiles role is expanded from the first two films, as Nicky she's very likeable. Instead of romance, it's implied a romantic past, they mirror the relationship Bourne had with Marie, you can sense romance just by the way they look at each other knowing it would be dangerous if they stay together.

Not looking the fourth chapter: The Bourne Legacy starring Jeremy Renner. If it's not Matt Damon, it not Bourne.
