I just finished watching a couple of the Bourne movies and I always enjoy a good fantasy break from reality once in a while. But as I watched it again, I began to notice more and more plot holes to everything and it became a game to me as I watched and noticed how in so many instances, Jason Bourne just wanders around in public with no masks or facial changes, yet in the background, they keep showing these sophisticated control stations by the CIA/FBI/Secret agencies that can monitor and scan literally anything and everything all at once. I know its movie magic but the film at one extreme leads us to believe that they can monitor everything … yet on the other hand, their key suspect is able to just wander around in public without anyone seeing him.

So I thought to myself how it would be hilarious if someone digitally remastered one of the Bourne movies and turned every single character and person that appears into Jason Bourne … even the women, black guys, Middle Eastern people, Asians, big fat people, children, old ladies … main characters, officers, government officials, the president of the United States, waiters, agents, soldiers, background people … make them all Jason Bourne.

    Yeah, iirc first book is basically the length of the first three movies and entirely revolves around Carlos. I loved it when I read it in high school.

    The movies were also pretty great, but i think I always expected that as I grew up I would understand the action sequences more, and it turns out that no, the action sequences are just nonsense and don’t actually make sense.

      Yea, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they were trying to make. Good action fighting scenes held loosely together by low effort excuses disguised as plot. And based on how much money the movies made, it’s hard to blame them for their decisions.
