1. Shakey Cam ?
2. Joan Allen is back ? Great. She's the only advesary that didn't look they were sleepwalking through the scene.
3. Renner finds out he was part of the group recalled .... nicknamed Firestone *barum bump*
4. Edward Norton's in it ? Wonder if he was a bitch to work with (as noted in past movies he's been in) ?

not sure if you knew Alex theres a new minute trailer of the expendables 2 with more footage.
this looks hilarious.he's climbing walls like spiderman and jumps kinda high for a leprechaun
Personally, I didn't mind the shakey cam. Looks like everyone is back, it runs parallel to Ultimatum. Pretty keen for this, can't wait for it to release.
bah, I liked all the bourne movies. silly popcorn movies, the lot of 'em, but relatively enjoyable if you could get past the epilepsy-cam and albert finney chewing up the scenery. damon was perfectly acceptable. this looks like decent fun too. tony gilroy is at the very least a competent director... michael clayton was great
I don't get the Renner hype (or the Damon hate for that matter) at all. He's one of Hwoods most overrated new talents imo. He's way too tiny to ever be intimidating, and yet that's the only roles he gets cast in. The Town was a joke (yeah I said it) and so was Hurt Locker. And though he was decent in both, he couldn't come close to carrying those films out of mediocrity. But he single-handedly almost tanked MI4 with his whiney sniveling tittybaby performance. Every time he was on screen I seriously wanted punch him in the face (and by the looks of it so did Tom Cruise).
Now this ugly little troll is out to tank another decent franchise. After seeing the trailer I thinks its obvious why they kept the Bourne title. It leaves you with a slight hope to see Jason Bourne make a cameo just to kick the sh*t out of this Munchkin and take back the franchise. I'd pay just to see Damon put a bullet in him to end the film. In fact, that's not a bad idea for this new phase of the series. Each new movie could star another flavor of the month wannbe (like Taylor Kitsch) doing their best Bourne impression only to have Damon kill them end the finale. $$$$$$$$
It looks faithfull to the Jason Bourne franchise and therefore I'll pay for this as long it's intense with great fighting scenes without jerking off with the cam, exciting chasing cars scenes, I'm all in.
In The Bourne Identity, it was said that he's a $30 mil worth trained soldier. Now the real question is Renner that kind of a soldier?
Looks watchable, but I wonder: did they intend to make excuses, in the actual trailer, some fifty times for why it's called Bourne-something but without the actual Bourne? It's like they know they're screwing us over with the title, but they lack the shame to stop themselves.
they should remove the bourne from the title. it is a new character all together. looking at the trailer this could be the bore identity, mr norton and renner should meet in a parking lot and call the film fight club redux.
the editing does not look as sharp on this one as the first 3 films. i hope the pace will be better then hurt locker. that film was as awkward and wearing all the bomb protection equipment.
bourne redefined the bond-ness in action films.
me thinks i am going to wait for the dvd on this one.
despicable me 2 is the one i am waiting for.
MAN!!! The trailer quality has gone down the drain in the past few weeks. It sounds like watching a preview in my bathroom...and I do that often enough to know what that sounds like to compare. What's up WP?
mink, you're probably pretty close with that theory- but mostly, it's just because studio executives have the mental capacity of a 2-year old with Tay-sachs and can't comprehend how a movie with 'Bourne' in the title actually lacks a character named Bourne in the film....
