 The Bourne Ultimatum is the third movie in the Bourne franchise and continues the awesome adventures of Jason Bourne. It takes off directly after the events of the second movie, and Jason finds himself still in Russia, running from multiple different governments. While still trying to recover his memory and past, which both still have holes in them, Bourne eventually finds a reporter with information about the Blackbriar brigade. Jason immediately knows that he finally has an opportunity to gain information. But because a few certain, powerful people know that their secrets will soon be revealed to the world, including the amount of bodies they have buried, they are very keen on stopping Bourne once and for all, and it will take Jason's natural cunningness, wits, and survival skills to not only defeat elite assassins, but he must also run from multiple governments, including America's powerful CIA. 
 The Bourne Ultimatum does its best to try to live up to the lofty expectations that people had, and it manages to do exactly that.

The enticing ending is able to transform all of the first three movies into a cohesive story and is able to do accomplish everything that the creators could have possibly wanted. 
 The Bourne Ultimatum greatly benefits from having thrilling twists and turns at seemingly every inch of the film, and some of them are sure to genuinely shock the audiences. Secondly, Jason Bourne is actually an amazing character to watch, and because of his ingenuity, he instantly becomes a fan-favorite and is insanely enjoyable to watch as he outwits and outmuscles all of his opponents. Matt Damon is perfect as Jason Bourne, and he does nothing but add intensity to the terrific protagonist. 

 The Bourne Ultimatum is able to take the meaning of blockbuster to the next level and is truly entertaining to watch. The whole thing is just relentless, heart-pounding action, and because it is also combined with a thought through, carefully crafted plot, the movie is able to turn into one enjoyable roller coaster.
