Amazon.co.uk Review
Here's a challenge: name one action blockbuster trilogy of the last ten years that's come close to matching the thrills and spills of the Bourne movies. Because this reviewer, and many others, can't. There's nothing that runs it even remotely close. And it's ironic too, given that the franchise kicked off with its weakest instalment. The Bourne Identity finds the title character (played by Matt Damon) without knowledge of who he is, yet with a whole host of deadly skills, and for two thirds of its running time is a strong and enjoyable action thriller. A muddled last act spoils it slightly, but fortunately, it brought in enough to convince the studio to pony up for a sequel. What a sequel it is, too. The Bourne Supremacy is an electric, pulse-pounding second episode, as Bourne this time is forced to confront his identity issues again, after being framed for a murder he didn't commit. It's a compulsive game of cat and mouse with some superb moments, and it leaves you salivating for the concluding chapter. That came in the shape of The Bourne Ultimatum, and this proves not only to be a terrific ending to the franchise, it's also the best of the three films. The word relentless barely does it justice, but in terms of direction, staging and draw, it simply has had no big screen blockbuster equal in some years. The end result is a trilogy that diligently tells a well-structured story, and injects it with fascinating characters, amazing set pieces and immense rewatch value. The Ultimate Bourne Collection simply demands to be seen and rewarded. And a fourth chapter wouldn't do any harm, either… --Simon Brew

ATrilogy un-rivavled anywhere else! September 21, 2008
K. D. Squire (Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK)
These 3 films are some of the most enjoyable films i have ever watched, the storys suck you in from the get go! The balence of action, speed and covertness are spectacular and as a trilogy im suprised to say they are fluent throughout!
The storys well written and well prtrayed on the big screen! Matt damons plays a blinder as jason bourne and throught the three films his character becomes darker and more callous than before. perfect for the type of story.
Revenge against the corporation, finding himself in amongst jumbled memorys of a forgotton past and seeking retribution the only way he knows how Bourne is not only a killer but human his tact, wit and suprising skills of evasion are what makes these films not only a pleasure to watch but hard not to watch again straight after!!
This boxset is a welcome addition to my collection its frequently used and borrowed by many of my freinds and all say the same.... The films are fantastic!
 Matt Damon - Born to play Bourne! September 9, 2008
Mr. R. J. Mcgregor (UK)
Having read and enjoyed the Robert Ludlum books of the same titles, I started watching these films with a degree of trepidation. Could they do justice to the complex plotlines and superb storytelling of Ludlum?
I then got confused as the story started to deviate significantly from the one in the books! Fortunately, I then found out that while the films used a few characters and some of the basic plots of the books, they were actually NEW stories. That was an absolute masterstroke by the film-makers as it enabled anyone who enjoyed the books to follow Bourne on even more adventures!
The character created by Ludlum is one of the all-time greats in the "spy" genre, and Matt Damon seemed born to play Bourne. He was absolutely perfect, and when I subsequently re-read the books, I actually had the Matt Damon character in mind!
The Bourne Identity was probably the weakest of the three films ... but that's more of a compliment to the "Supremacy" and "Ultimatum" rather than an indictment of the "Identity" itself.
It's somewhat refreshing to watch "old fashioned" thrillers that don't rely on ridiculous CGI effects, hi tech gadgetry or smug, wise-cracking heroes. As in the books, Bourne just gets on with the job, and he does it with ruthless efficiency ... and style! Again, testament to the character created by Ludlum, but also to Matt Damon himself. I shudder to think what these films would have been like with (for example) Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis playing the lead!
Overall, these are films you can watch again and again as everything just gels perfectly. Quite simply, the best films in their genre.
compulsive watching. August 21, 2008
M. S. Abhayaratna
A really good buy for the price. It's full of action, just what I like, not the tame James Bond rubbish, and the storyline is very good. With my surround sound system it's really great to watch. If you haven't already got it, it's worth all the money. A good buy.
The Ultimate Breathtaking Experience July 8, 2008
Nasir Jamal (Islamabad, Pakistan)
It was in November 2007 when I saw "Bourne Ultimatum" in the theatre. It was more electrifying than the previous two in the series. It was only after a month that the triple DVD pack came out containing all three Bourne movies, and I purchased it at once. Watching all three movies in a row is also a wonderful experience and it may be seen that how the cinematography, editing and sound effects improve in each movie than its predecessor.
All three movies are full of breathtaking car chases, ultimate suspense that goes around the globe. At one moment you are in India and at the other you find yourself in Italy. From the narrow streets of Tangier to the snows of Russia, the chase for Bourne goes on and on until it ends in the busy avenues of New York, in the last movie. Though all three movies and its characters are wonderfully linked together, however, each movie brings new characters, locations and situations.
The movies are full of wonderful sound effects, cinematography and editing and it grips you so much that you feel yourself being chased as Jason Bourne.
All three DVDs are packed with extra features, including director's commentary, deleted scenes, and details about various chases of Bourne across the globe.
For fans of action and spy movies, this is a must purchase.
