The Bourne Supremacy

[ProgWRX]

definately, i loved how everything was downplayed, oh and the music in the movie is pretty good too...

I wouldn't call driving a minicooper down two sets of stairs "downplayed."
that's like the must-have stunt in every car chase that takes place in europe.

[ProgWRX]

compared to chases in other movies, yeah it was downplayed, also the choice of cars, say compared to movies like Ronin... an old screwed up mini vs varios high end audis, bmws, etc...

It was okay... we've seen this movie before, but I had not seen a good old fashioned american movie in a month or so, so I enjoyed it. No annoying spy-in-love story, that was nice.

I liked this movie a lot. It was very well executed. It knew what type of movie that it was, and it hit all it's marks dead on. There was never a moment where I thought it was meandering.

Very excellent follow-up/sequel/continuation of "Identity;" nicely following the 'rules' that Doug Liman set, although it doesn't entirely live up to that. The hand-held camera work (and to some extent, the editing) was too frenetic and jittery, thus distracting. I've always been a fan of Joan Allen and she plays a worthy adversary. A great car chase that ranks up there with those in "Ronin."

Not being a big, big fan of action movies, I found myself actually enjoying this one, surprisingly so. I thought it was better than the first (though my friends disagree), and the car chase (in an incredibly durable taxi) was the highlight of the movie. The jittery camera really only bother me during, possibly, the most important parts of an action movie: the action scenes (fortunately though, this movie isn't all action, it works on the dramatic side a bit more than most). The fight was dizzying and I had trouble following what was happening.
But that's my only real gripe, that I can think of.

Did it end kind of suddenly to anyone else, or was it just me??

Not bad at all

It ended on a strange note for me. I thought, "Okay.. the end?" Nothing like Spider-Man swinging through Manhattan then perching on top of a skyscraper needle.

I totally agree with you for once. I even told my my brother the exact same thing, about the camerawork being a bit too jittery at times, but he said he was fine with it.

I liked everything about this film except for how it was shot and edited.  The short take, fast cut feel to it didn't work for the most part.  I was annoyed by it and I wish Liman would have directed it.  The performances and script are fine...and it's good to see an action film that doesn't rely on one liners.  Just the fast cutting didn't work for me, the big action set pieces were more confusing than exciting.
