It has been a couple of weeks since I have watched a movie and today was The Bourne Legacy's turn.It came highly recommended from my father whom rated it higher than Skyfall, although a coworker who had seen both scoffed at the suggestion insisting that Skyfall was far superior.
I have seen the previous Bourne movies, I don't know what it is about this series but I find it very easy to forget them. The storylines feel intertwined and there were several references to previous movies, however, I wasn't able to make the links. It almost feels like Bourne should be a TV show instead of a movie series - the plots are detailed enough, but thats just my opinion.
As far as action goes, this was great. The effects were a little better in Skyfall but this was certainly up to scratch. I also liked how the plot developed - how you get constant and significant scraps at the beginning but have to wait until two thirds through it to make sense of what they mean.
All in all, I'd probably give the edge to Skyfall but there wasn't much difference between them. I'd love to sit down and re-watch the Bourne series one day which may affect this opinion.
Either way, its not a bad flick.
