I felt like I had to take a deep breath when it ended because I'd spent so much time tensed up on the edge of my seat (and probably not taking in a lot of oxygen). <BR/><BR/>My husband wouldn't stop on It's a Wonderful Life, the one day we turned a TV on in our hotel.

Remedy that! ;)<BR/><BR/>The Bourne movies did rock my world. I think they are among the best of the 'new' style of action flick. I consider Casino Royale of the same ilk. They are different than, say, the Die Hard movies. Not better, just a different style, and I love 'em.Carl V.

Let's just say that was a LOT of years ago!! I knew this movie was no way going to be as good as the book, so I pretty much didn't try to compare it. <BR/><BR/>BUT....you are right about the ending. Didn't really care much for that. <BR/><BR/>Carl - I'm pretty sure my husband is going to get the Bourne Trilogy box-set for Christmas. Like I said, the first two were good. They didn't rock my world or anything like that. But I really enjoyed the 3rd. <BR/><BR/>JP - I love Will Smith. I really do. But he just isn't a brilliant scientist. As good of an actor as he is, I just didn't FEEL it!! <BR/><BR/>Ack!! You've NEVER seen It's a Wonderful Life??? Go right now, and rent it!!

That is good news.<BR/><BR/>Bourne Ultimatum is a wonderful third act to this trilogy. I enjoyed it so much at the theatre and I believe it will be under the tree at Christmas and I will enjoy it then as well.<BR/><BR/>We should hopefully be getting in the rest of our Christmas movies this next week, including a favorite, Its a Wonderful Life.Carl V.

ACK...the ending. <BR/><BR/>I'll be posting my review on Monday, and I guess it's fair to warn you that it won't be pretty. :)<BR/><BR/>I might need to watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' again just to recover from the agony of watching "I Am Legend". :Pkookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994570192941993135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-7503937396975182742007-12-15T15:57:00.000-06:002007-12-15T15:57:00.000-06:00I want to see I Am Legend, but my husband isn't so...I want to see I Am Legend, but my husband isn't so sure.
