Whilst the fight scenes aren't as visceral and expertly choreographed as the previous installments (but they are still good), The Bourne Legacy is a surprisingly great spin-off. Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton all give great performances. It's extremely well paced. The music by James Newton Howard is really good and the direction by Tony Gilroy is also really good. There's also an extremely thrilling bike chase in the third act that's fantastic.

As a fan of the Bourne franchise, I enjoyed this deeper look in to that universe. The movie really does feel like one giant glorified DVD extra for that trilogy and I mean that in a good way. Deeper layers are revealed and the intrigue is as good as what we've seen before even though the character motivation isn't as strong across the board. Renner is fabulous as the second generation super spy. My only real complaint about this installment (because it does feel like they are blatantly building for three more films) is that the resolution has no real teeth. Still, it's a very good effort from a very good cast with hints and touches to the Bourne films of the past.Overall, a thumbs up and a very enjoyable time at the cinema.

I really love theses kind of films where you have the agent running around like he's a fugitive wanted by the government so I was really excited going into this movieWhen I saw Bourne Legacy last month, I have to say a great film. Aaron Cross is much better than Jason Bourne in my opinion. The casting were also good. Jeremy Renner fitted the main role verywell and Rachel Weisz was also great as a female supporting role. I hope that they both will star again in the next sequel and the franchise in my opinion has finally found their right replacement for Matt DamonLets hope that in the future, both Renner and Damon agree to team up and put a stop to the program once and for all
