After a weekend where the little man only wanted to sit on the sofa and cuddle up with films, resulting in me watching Monsters Inc. (looks lovely on BD) 4 times, Tarzan (lovely sharp HD transfer, but fluctuating brightness in dark scenes) 3 times and Handy Manny's Motorcycle Adventure more times than I care to count, I went to the cinema last night and watched The Bourne Legacy. It was pretty average to be honest. The action scenes were pretty good, it had the obligatory Bourne car chase and Renner was as good as he always is, but everything else was a bit flat. Ed Norton's character seemed to be "Jack's Stressed CIA Director" in a lazy performance straight from Fight Club, Rachel Weisz was generic and ultimately, the story didn't really have a story. Will there be a sequel? Maybe. Will there be a prequel? Maybe. Will I care? Probably not.
