Following
on the previous three films in the Bourne Universe, the main character, Aaron
Cross, finds himself targeted by the CIA people who are trying to contain the
damage caused to the system by the actions of Jason Bourne.
Let’s start
from the basics: why do producers do sequels? The most popular – and the most
sensible – explanation is that they are trying to bank on the same, popular,
liked characters, trying to get money from people who miss the universe and
will be happy to pay to see the continuation of the story. This is why we see
never-ending Twilight saga – producers (correctly) believe that 14 year old
girls will be happy to see the next portion of adventures of Edward (ok, this
is a massive stereotype).
So the idea
of The Bourne Legacy as the movie was flawed from the very beginning. Bourne
movie without Bourne? Seriously?
