9 Problems A Jason Bourne Sequel Must Avoid

9. There Are No Truly Stand-Out Moments

Say what you want about the Bourne trilogy. Maybe you think they're too formulaic, maybe you hate the shaky-cam or maybe you're just weird and hate Matt Damon. Whatever your opinion may be, all three movies are undeniably filled with stand-out moments.

Don't agree? Here's a short list; car chase in a mini, fight with a ball-point pen, scaling down a building like Spider-man, fight with a rolled up magazine, sniper on the roof, on the run in Waterloo station, fight with a book and of course window jumping.

He fights a whole lot in these films, but these are just the big, in your face moments. There are hundreds of stand-out, quieter moments between characters as well as just watching Bourne be competent in ludicrously threatening situations.

Jason Bourne has none of these; none that really stand-out anyway. Aside from the austerity protests sequence in Greece, no part of Jason Bourne will stick with you after the credits roll, and even that sequence will be gone come the next day.

Following on from its iconic predecessors this is certainly one of the most disappointing things to take away from the film. Much like Bourne, you too will feel like you have amnesia when you try to think of anything distinctive.
