Can't wait for the new Jason Bourne. Matt Damon is what makes it. Found number 4 hugely disappointing. However the other 3,were by far the best spy action thriller movie trilogy out there.

I do have one complaint though, the fuckers killed his woman in the movies but she's alive in the book.

Yeah true, read two of the books (half into the third and got bored of Ludlums writing), and the movies litterally have nothing to do with the books except for the main character really. Dont follow the stories at all (especially sequel movies), so her dying is least of the issues even if a deal breaker since she was integral in the books. But also the movies are just flat out more fun, not fleshed out at ALL with the spy complicated storylines in the books, but for capturing Jason perfectly and making a great action movies. Books are kinda boring on the adrenaline raising parts of it. But story wise ofcourse cant compare.

Even though I read the first three books, they were a pain to read through. Didn't like the writing style at all. Movies were better. Didn't see the fourth one, not gonna either.

Watched Macbeth (2015)

I thought the cast was outstanding. Walked in on my cousin watching this movie before I got to it -Hey is that Banquo? -Yes - I thought so, he looks like a Banquo.

Depiction of Middle Ages was Hollywood kind of obnoxious again. Black clothes everywhere and lords sitting in dark halls in candlelight in the middle of the day. EYELINERS

Transition of Macbeth's character went way too fast tho. I bet they didn't want to risk a 2.5 hour movie as having a below 2 hour movie was their only chance to lure husbands into local cinemas.

8/10
