Am I the only one who thought that the Bourne films were really repetitive?

I liked the first one, but every film after that was just another variation of "I need to know about my past" followed by some fights, a big car chase scene, and then learning one more piece of the puzzle.

I actually liked Bourne Legacy more than any of the mainline Bourne sequels because it deviated from this pattern.

Hmm I disagree. I loved the first three Bourne movies. Yeah they followed a formula, but it was executed well. And I thought Bourne Legacy was really slow. I didn't find Jeremy Renner interesting or even entertaining.

I really liked Bourne Legacy...until they made the last 15 minutes a car chase. I'm not sure why this series is so fascinated with car chases that always end in unsurvivable crashes.

I personally think that's a one movie premise, they failed at coming with other interesting concepts for the sequels, they all feel like the same movie in my memory.

I personally prefer Mission Impossible, every sequel comes with the promise of new action sequences and cool gadgets, kinda like the old school 007 ones.

Nah they’re pretty rough. The first one was fun but the rest are just like so what?
