The Bourne Ultimatum — brilliant movie and adaptation
September 12, 2007 
this is the film i anticipated the most this year. as a huge fan of the author whose book this movie was adapted from, i expected the same fast-paced, page-turning, and awe-inspiring feeling i get from reading the novel. after watching the film, i wasn't a bit disappointed, at least when it comes to the thrilling action. the movie didn't really tell the story Robert Ludlum wrote in his book.
but one thing that the film really captured from the novel, and which i think is brilliant and most important, is the character of Jason Bourne. the movie really depicted how brilliant, cunning and resourceful Jason Bourne is. as a film adaptation, it brought justice to Ludlum's creation. Jason Bourne is one the most complex literary characters ever created.
i give this film a standing ovation, not just two thumbs up, or a round of applause, but a standing ovation!!!

Tolerant on the movie (how could you fit a novel within a 2-3 hour movie?). Love the books. Salivating over how Jason Bourne kicks ass..
Oh, did you know that Jason Bourne uses the art of Kali in his moves? That martial arts originally came from Cebu, Philippines in the form of Eskrima, then developed to Dose Pares (12 pairs), then branched out to various techniques and styles.
We should be thankful to the producers of the movie that they applied Philippine Martial Arts
