Watching THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM for the FIRST time || Movie Reaction

[@JBeck33]

Her smile at the end is the best part of the movie.

[@CybrSlydr]

YES. So much said with a little smirk. :D

[@mrannointed40]

The scene when he was in the office and breaking into the safe is my favorite of the series. "If you were in your office, we'd be having this conversation face to face." Click Perfection!

[@ByeFelicia-ho3mm]

“HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN!” 😂

[@abeclark524]

That whole Desh sequence is peak Bourne.

[@YuNgHaSaN]

Bourne in his prime 👌🏼

[@ice-iu3vv]

since you asked about jason bourne vs john wick, here are a few points. the actors who played these characters had extensive training. that training went much further with matt damon in hand to hand, but much further with keanu in weapons training. damon trained in a phillipine martial art called cali which is based on incorporating your surroundings and whatever is realistically available to use as a weapon. bourne's pen to the hand in the first film was 12 years before the pencil story in john wick. since bourne is a cia assasin, and so is denzel's character from the equalizer, and liam neeson's character in taken, ( although the others are more implied than spelled out like the bourne films). the first question is "who would win out of the cia assets"? john wick is a hit-man in an immensely fictional paradigm. secret clubs with gold coin payments and unusual services and policies, i mean, john wick is set far less in the "real world" than the other characters i mentioned. any of them might succeed on any given day against any of the others is the real answer to who would win. i have a strong preference for bourne if we are talking about sequel quality. all of those franchises have a great first movie, and some of the sequels are good too. bourne starts out amazing, and just keeps getting better for 2 more films. and the bourne films came first. they set a standard that hasnt been equaled by the others.

[@NavsangeetSingh]

I feel like John Wick's endurance and stamina would win out. Look at the stuff he went though just in the last one. But I get your point. Just depends on the day.

[@CasJC08]

“Do you even know why you’re supposed to kill me? Look at us, look at what they make you give” Chills everytime i watch this movie. Full circle moment for Jason and now he finally understands what that meant. It’s my favorite scene from the entire series.

[@Phantomgreen29]

Jen, Your enthusiasm for this series has been peak throughout, you gotta convince Holden to finish the series and watch the rest. You'll get lore on the programs that involve Bourne and get the whole enchilada by the time it's done.

[@JBeck33]

Identity is good. Supremacy is great. Ultimatum is good. One of the best trilogies of all time.

[@michaelcottrell7906]

😂😂 Holden floating underwater BROKE ME!! 😂😂

[@Khay-77]

The best Bourne movie in my opinion. Great theater experience as well, people were cheering throughout.

[@Y0Da77]

If Holden hasn't seen The Recruit, definitely react to it.

[@b.benzzx6926]

everytime the song (Extreme Ways) hits i get goosebumps

[@GodxMischief]

I liked Bourne legacy. I like the world building. Sucks that not many ppl like it

[@touringband]

Really? The first 3 movies are all above 80% on rotten tomato, with ultimatum over 90. Very poplar in my circles.

[@Whataboutbob-b4w]

Legacy was my favorite but all the movies are good..

[@TheBlond49]

Legacy goes Supersoldier, of course people don't like it.

[@aphextwin5712]

In the first movie, Jason fights with a pen. In the second movie he fights with a magazine, and in the third movie, he fights with a book.

[@vnilla1579]

I think you guys should definitely watch the next 2 movies. You get more behind the scenes about the CIA programs and even more backstory on Jason Bourne. Jeremy Renner does a great job in Legacy and you get more inside information about what life as one of the agents is like. All good stuff.

[@Zach_Bliss]

One of the best action movies of all time🔥

[@ninja11793]

6:08 "Gimme eyeballs on the street" HAHAHA

[@hidilydidily8963]

Jen sees Julia Stiles in The Borne Identity says,"Yeah Im not a fan!" Jen sees Julia Stiles about to be merked in The Borne Ultimatum and has a mothers level of worry for Nikki.... love it 😂

[@bfunk-sx2wi]

A lot of people hate on Legacy but I really enjoy that movie. Great Renner and Weiss. I think my least fav one is Jason Bourne just because we waited so long for it and when it was announced I was so excited and it didn’t live up to expectations. Not to say it was bad it just wasn’t AS good as it should have been.

[@jimglenn6972]

Yes, I agree. Jason Bourne is a “B” movie plot.

[@Maikigai]

5:53 Omg props to your editor here xD I actually thought in my head when he said “where’s my picture please…” that it would be funny if they put his face on the screen and that’s exactly what happened lol

[@Whataboutbob-b4w]

Hopefully you guys react to The Recruit PG-13 2003 ‧ Thriller/Action ‧ 1h 55m

[@pheverdream5618]

The "Extraction" movies on Netflix are a worthy follow-up to the Bourne series. Have you seen them?

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

She mentioned The Recruit. That was good, y'all should put that up!

[@shawnevans26]

26:55 yes if he has not see the recruit, you guys should react to it!! I love the movie!!

[@GooRu.]

❤

[@mikeaninger7388]

I saw this in the theater. When Jason started to swim, the theater was on its feet.!

[@topcalderon]

You guys really need to watch Jason Bourne to finish this Story

[@c0untaga1n]

The Waterloo train station scene is my favourite from the series, it was my main station when I went into London growing up. Me and my friends loved looking for snipers in the advert banner that was there for years after the bourne series finished 😃

[@TerryYelmene]

Please consider watching/reacting to 'Jason Bourne' (2016). Jen's curiosity about 'Nicki' will be answered a bit more, (and it's a fun ride against Tommy Lee Jones!)

[@mattyk6288]

I love that Jen noticed it was a 2.5 sequel not a trilogy. I thought it would be Holden 😂

[@jdhowell916]

Oh my gosh, yes! Make Holden watch the Recruit!!! @26:56

[@Mystur3]

🤣🤣🤣 Not even five minutes in and she hits him with his full name!

[@mrannointed40]

This one was my favorite out of the 5 Bourne movies.

[@oshingi]

Holden and the shaky cam is hilarious. I remember when these came out it revolutionized the way you film action movies.

[@thebkg]

It wasn't a good revolution. Today they use a far smoother version of shaky cam because audiences didn't like it on full tilt. It ruined hand to hand combat scenes because you couldn't truly see all the "moves" they were making.

[@jeffcunningham0389]

@@thebkg disagree. They did shaky cam the right way. Its the copycat movies that did it wrong. I never had issues seeing the action

[@TheBeatenPaths]

OMG, you two are awesome!! "I'd go the bathroom and wait it out"....."Solid plan".

[@nathansmith5583]

I highly recommend watching the other 2 bourne films they are both great legacy actually takes place during ultimatum they roughly run parallel to each other

[@EliasuSan]

Wait. There’s a fifth??

[@Sandstroem1981]

@@EliasuSan there is five and also a tv show in the same universe

[@Peter-ny4mu]

It's not really just a trilogy. There is more info about Bourne (in number 5). Number 4 is also really good. I would like it if they did another one to follow on from 4.

[@ams914]

They actually backed off on the shaky cam in this one, it's not as bad as number 2. This is my favorite installment of the series. I think they streamlined and refined the formula in the best way.

[@JohnEDepth752]

Man, you're whiny about that shaky cam. I absolutely love it.

[@Nemophilist850]

The "shaky cam" is good and enhances the movie.

[@chefskiss6179]

I loved that you went through this beautiful series, that was a fun watchlaong with you two! It would be pretty great if you did the flip-side (kinda) of this and did 1973's Day of the Jackal. Pretty much the 'invention' if not first iteration of the cold, methodical, focused, much less civil assassin, matched alongside with 'actual' old-school detective work.

[@P-M-869]

I always loved when Jason would say. Get some rest Pam, you look tired. and such things. Myself, the shaky cam doesn't bother me. It adds a deeper feeling of the chaos in the fight scenes.

[@bigplanett]

The Bourne Legacy is actually a good movie. Worth watching as a Bourne related film. The Jason Bourne movie, the last one, I found wasn't worth my time and made odd choices. 👍

[@jinxie712]

I knew that David Webb reveal was gonna confuse them. This movie takes place in between the last movie and that ending scene when she gives him his real name.

[@alfonsobiggers2452]

I adore this film. _The Bourne Ultimatum_ is one of the best action films of the 2000s, and maybe of all time for me... I fear that shaky-cam has, perhaps justifiably, gained a bad reputation since these films were released. But, with this and _Supremacy_ before, it has never bothered me in this series. In fact, I believe Paul Greengrass's hyper-energized documentary style lends greatly to the gritty fights. He is by far the best practitioner of this kind of camera work. I highly recommend seeing _Captain Phillips_ for another great case of his methods. I never felt disoriented or confused here in the fights. This is largely due to the edits being timed so as to draw your attention to the small movements and gestures that turn the tide in the moment to moment swings of combat. Couple that with perfectly timed zooms, it puts you in Bourne's head as he quickly discerns how to gain the upper hand. The result is a fun, visceral, and kinetic fight in a dingy bathroom. The story, while fairly minimal, is coolly efficient. We don't need to know the details of what Nikki and Bourne's relationship was before the amnesia, but its allusion makes for a more rich tapestry upon which the action takes place. He has lost so much of who he was, that the only thing left for him is to run to the end. Look at what they made him give... What we were given was a fun ride, a biting look at contemporary paranoia, and a tragedy where a hollow man desperately searches to find his soul. _10/10_

[@jayj4408]

Luv the reaction and for me Legacy was not that great but i liked the last one Jason Borne.

[@NavsangeetSingh]

Thank you. I thought it already got posted and removed, and I missed this reaction, for some reason lol

[@daneph]

Goose bumps for ending every time I watch

[@llxBUNKxll]

From Jen getting upset at 5:35 with the classic “HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN!” to the edits until 5:50 had me cracking up harder than I should have.

[@tomhoffman4330]

26:55) Shout-Out to Jen👋I have seen "The Recruit" and That is a really Good Spy-Thriller!👍

[@joshuadigiantomasso41]

I showed my buddy the Bourne series for the first time last week, and he showed me John Wick for the first time also. After we were all done we asked the question: If Jasone Bourne, John Wick, James Bond (Craig) and Ethan Hunt were in a room with no guns or fancy weapons, just normal office supplies, who would come out on top in a free-for-all. It was honestly easier than we thought. We both almost immediately agreed that Wick would come out ontop, 2nd would be Bourne, followed by Bond then Hunt. We agreed it came down to Bourne and Wick for hand-to-hand combat, but we gave the edge to Wick seeing as Bourne is technically just acting on instinct since he lost his memories where as Wick is in full control of all his abilities.

[@YuNgHaSaN]

In my opinion, Bourne would definitely beat them all. Just because he uses 100% of his brain and adapts to his surroundings. Also he is the most realistic out of all of the other respective characters

[@jkhoover]

Please! Please! Do a My Husband Watches The Recruit. That's a gra Eat forgotten movie along with SAWT with Colin Ferrell.

[@GooRu.]

❤ SWAT & Recruit tooo

[@Mr10before9]

Jason Bourne would obliterate John Wick...people forget that John Wick should have been killed multiple times in the first film, except Plot Armor protected him. Were it not for John's teacher, his enemies would have killed him on multiple occasions...but John was saved. Jason Bourne doesn't need saving this entire series, Jason Bourne isn't fighting a criminal organization but rather he's fighting other super assassins built just like him and he's dispatching all of them with extreme ease.

[@jeffcunningham0389]

Yea, No. john wick defeats him easily. John wick literally beat all the best assassins in the world in had to hand combat. Like what are u talking about?

[@janiv6621]

The newest Jason Bourne movie will answer Jen's questions.

[@AbA_DBAA23]

I can't recall if you have reacted to this movie or not but I HIGHLY recommend reacting to Sneakers (1992). It's not as frantic and hectic as the Bourne movies, but it's a great entry into the spy/espionage genre. It's dramatic, suspenseful, and quite funny too. It's got a great ensemble cast as well.

[@claytonbishop4021]

In the Tangier chase scene, Nicky, played by Julia Stiles, and Desh, played by Joey Ansah, are seen pushing past the citizens. These are not extras; Tangier was too crowded and the flow of the people was hard to control, hence the two are genuinely pushing through the crowd.

[@kabnoot]

5:50 hahahaha i swear you have the greatest edits and cuts!

[@dboss7239]

The shaky cam criticism stems from two issues: 1) it's meant for a big screen. a 50 foot wide one. As such it uses some trickery of the eye/brain functionality - which is your eyesight can only really focus on a tiny postage stamp size region of the visual field (the fovea). Everything else is rather peripheral. As a result the shaking does not bother most people on the big screen, but on a small screen your entire fovea covers the screen. And 2) Holden may have a maladapted brain as to why it bothers him so much and not Jan so much. We move our eyes and heads a remarkable amount in everyday tasks, but the brain smooths this out with complex higher function editing so to speak. Even if you are say driving on a bumpy road and being jostled about, and having to look at a sequence of scans of the dash, the mirrors and the road ahead - the normal brain smooths this jerky motion out in your perceived vision in the brain. But if that function is not really well developed, well this film will bother you. If you ever use a VR headset and record what you see, say in a flight simulator, the video is even shakier than this film, because your eyes and head flit about so damn much, but the person wearing the VR googles did not experience this extreme shaky cam, because of that brain smoothing.

[@jeffcunningham0389]

The general consensus is that Ultimatum is the best in the series and 1 of the greatest action movies ever made

[@maxmaker76]

There comes more information in Jason Bourne!

[@chadbailey7038]

Funny you mentioned John Wick v Jason Bourne. Because the John Wick movies helped to kill off “shakey cam” once and for all

[@slr_novaswrath53783]

Yet another banger thank you two

[@Chambej]

Jen I would recommend watching the latest 'Jason Bourne' film, it will answer alot of your questions and is one of the best in the series.

[@faybancollins]

The Bourne Legacy is a jewel if a film, particularly if like seeing the workings of the agency as they put out fires that involve the different assets. Lots of good performances from big names as well.

[@chadbailey7038]

“Time to go… mobile” 😂😂😂

[@Maikigai]

Please absolutely watch Legacy and JB. The trilogy works on its own, but the other two are fun watches being in the same universe. There’s also a show in the same universe called Treadstone that’s worth watching.

[@YuNgHaSaN]

I’ve been eagerly waiting for the reaction video to the Bourne ultimatum to almost conclude. I really really really hope you watch Jason Bourne (2016). If it’s a big ask, it would be worth skipping Legacy as that really doesn’t build any story around Jason Bourne. Absolute legends the pair of you! Much love ❤

[@PlaylistsRUs]

Legacy is vital to the whole franchise. It reveals information that ties up the whole story.

[@1Atlkid]

That’s the one with Renner?

[@TheBlond49]

Shame it goes sci-fi and ruins Ultimatum ending.

[@CSSymbiote]

The series Treadstone that was on Prime which forms part of this franchise was really good I thought.

[@jamesosteen09]

Please watch Legacy...sure it may not be on this level, but it's still solid and it's fun to stay in this universe. I'd be curious to hear/see your thoughts on comparing the two stories.

[@aznthy]

nope, its blah

[@KogleyBroDude]

Shout out to the editor 5:45 please tell me how you did that. Lol. So funny

[@CheGuevara-uf4pm]

I Never realized they cameout with another bourn movie after legacy

[@sweepist]

the googley eyes on the train station make me almost choke on my potatoes ! A+ edit :P love it

[@cmurr1174]

I think you guys would like watching the borne legacy. Jeremy Renner plays a pretty sweet “Borne” like super spy/assassin.

[@robertanderson6929]

Phones are a big problem for movies producers. They instantly date a movie. Whenever someone sees The Matrix for the first time they notice the old phone immediately.

[@SkunksterPlaysPoorly]

Not only the type of phone, but even mobile phones at all. Read a Hardy Boys book to my kid and those stories play out very differently if you consider mobile phones and internet. The original Bourne Identity book was written before all of this technology. In the same vein, I had to laugh while watching Robocop and seeing the old-school stenographer in the board meeting in that futuristic world.

[@robertanderson6929]

@@SkunksterPlaysPoorly Yeah. A few years ago they did a trilogy of movies for Ayn Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_ a story originally set in the 1950s. But the movies set the story in modern times or even near future and it just doesn't work. High speed rail is no longer revolutionary. And the ability for "pirates" to seize ships at sea is offset by the existence of modern jet fighter planes. Instant communications also makes much of the plot unworkable.

[@jaredunderwood978]

The Jason Bourne movie has answers to questions don't even know to ask

[@JFizz76]

I'm just going to put a vote in for Bourne Legacy. It's not the most popular, but I wish it had done well enough to continue.

[@lightsabermetrics]

Jason Bourne vs Jack Bauer vs James Bond (the Daniel Craig version) Last man standing. Who wins? I vote Jack Bauer.

[@Raivo_K]

Depends. Are they allowed to use their support systems? Bourne is the lone wolf. So that immideatly puts him at at a disadvantage despite his extensive hand to hand training. Bauer could have the benefit of an entire anti-terriorist task force behind him. Bond could have some cool gadgets and is by far the best socializer and sweet talker. Rather than fight against each other i would love to see them team up. Each bringing their unique strengths to the table. Not to mention the banter between them. Also add Ethan Hunt to the mix.

[@lightsabermetrics]

@Raivo_K Ethan Hunt would have to rename himself Jethan Bhunt to keep the J.B. initials thing going.

[@TorreyBostick]

Another consistently great Action series is the Lethal Weapon movies. They all have great action and they are funny, they would be a great watch.

[@thebkg]

Bourne did try to cut Marie loose twice in the first movie. She insisted on staying. I totally agree about Nicki Parsons. Julia Stiles is a good actress, they just never gave her character any time to develop. Could be that her character played a bigger role in the books and the scene where she alludes to something was giving a nod to that even though they didn't want to go down the road in the movie. I never read the books, they don't have great reviews. Seemed like a rare instance where the movies were better than the books. But as I said I haven't read them so I can't say for sure that would be my opinion, just offering a possible explanation of that scene.

[@TheQuadFather45]

I think the fight scenes in the Bourne series is the only time the quick cut style has ever been done right, with the exception of Supremacy. That one went a little too far but the rest are done more tasteful in my opinion. It's supposed to give you the feel that you're in the same room, so it's chaotic but you can still catch what's happening.

[@christiancarranza1003]

In these movies. They like to say "Jesus" alot!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@tommyw9754]

Jason Bourne is when you get a little more background. I don't like it as much as the trilogy though. So if you watch it or not don't really mind. Obviously I want to see you guys react to more movies.

[@MakinBacon97]

I feel like I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t mind shaky-cam

[@ctbhaley]

I think you guys really should watch Legacy. It is an awesome movie in Renner does an excellent job, it just doesn't have a lot to do with Jason Bourne, it's more about the progression of CIA black ops programs. The movie Jason Bourne is also really good but it really just puts a period on the end of the story. It definitely recommend Legacy though.

[@Cobinja]

20:00 Did Jen not notice the fight actually ended in the bathroom? 😅

[@romansOneSixteen]

29:56 Lol nice touch!

[@lzz9376]

Do as you please with Legacy but you should definitely watch Jason Bourne. Legacy has a different cast and runs parallel with the end of Supremacy and all of Ultimatum. Jason Bourne, on the other hand, is set a number of years after Ultimatum and brings back some familiar faces, a must watch in my opinion. And I just really love Alicia Vikander ;) Must be the proud Swede in me Thanks for a great time, and for sharing your awesome :*

[@Sandstroem1981]

dont forget the tv show

[@jRoy7]

A couple solid films of this type I hope you'll react to are Shooter, and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

[@jamesgardner2101]

The next 2 movies aren't part of this story, but definitely worth watching!

[@Sandstroem1981]

I wish someone would react to the TV show set in the same universe

[@l.piloto7964]

The shaky camera is to give the movie watcher what it is really like to move quickly in combat situations. If you can't decern what you see in real conditions, then you can't analyze and react efficiently.

[@karanyakorn555]

"Jason Bourne" Next one please

[@gekkehenk1673]

Please just finish this series and watch the other ones as well :)

[@dissolution9843]

Personally, I find the Jeremy Renner Bourne Legacy to be more enjoyable than Jason Bourne. Something about the final movie didn't sit quite as well as the original trilogy. They're both decent though!

[@gabedavis3294]

The Bourne Legacy is also worth watching, but it feels a little disconnected from the other films. It's a solid action movie, though doesn't necessarily feel like a “Bourne” movie. Would recommend. “Jason Bourne,” however, lost a step, I think.

[@javelldunn3379]

This is the best action movie ever

[@mitchrogers4217]

Just a perfect ending to this trilogy, shame they kept doing them but I get why , cash grabs

[@lvl-3bot]

13:16 speaking of umbrella yall should check the Resident evil movie series.

[@Mr10before9]

Jenn mentioned multiple times that Jason doesn't have very many wins...which has me wondering what movie series is she watching? Jason Bourne has nothing but wins across his entire franchise and only really struggled in a fight even once. The only Ls he ever takes is in keeping people alive long-term, but he never loses in any type of fight at all.

[@DELBOY01509]

5th Jason Bourne is a must watch… Legacy wasn’t that good to be fair but you have to watch the last one to cap it all off!
