My biggest problem with Ultimatum (I had many, including a camera technique which made me feel as if my head took every punch in one of the fight scenes) however was that they dropped most of the story line and took the easy way out. It was pure action without any of the plot twists and turns, as Flatlander put it, of the previous movies. No thinking involved, no need or reason to care about the main character (unless you had already *connected* with him from the previous movies), just an evil government plot which appeared to be run by an exceedingly evil man. The End.

As the movies portray a secret U.S. gov't program that turns people into assasins... BTW I've read the books... “Get it right” means what to you Michelle?

I couldn't believe how disappointed I was in it. I hope they don't even consider making any more (although I'm sure they will given the money its already made) unless they go way back to the basics and this time, get it right.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two movies for their twists and turns, but the third was just about setting up the intelligence community and, not so subtley, the current admin, as an evil bureacracy. Yawn. Even the 3rd Bourne movie was a huge disappointment to me, as it took a promising plot line and wasted it.
