I loved Identity, hated Supremacy. I would take the original over the sequel every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

It kind of depends on what mood I'm in as to which I like better, and at sometimes I might even think the third film, The Bourne Ultimatum, is best.

"The Bourne Ultimatum"
The third installment in the Bourne series takes everything from the first two and makes it all better. The fight and chase scenes are top notch, and Matt Damon gives an excellent performance. This is not only the best of the three, it is one of the best action films of all time.

Ultimatum was my favorite movie of the summer and my favorite of the series. Damon is great as Jason Bourne again. With a rumored fourth film in the works, I'm interested as to where they'll take the series.

I thought Supremacy sucked so I wasn't at all anticipating this. Then the reviews were unanimous in their praise so I checked it out, and it turned out to be my second favorite film of 2007(#1 being Zodiac)

Proof that third installments don't always have to suck.

I thought it was pretty good for what it was, and definitely better than Supremacy. I loved that they included the "Look at what they make you give" line from the first film. That pretty much made the movie for me.

Yeah it was a nice callback to "The Professor".

True. Although Bourne Supremacy has the best carchase put to film since French Connection.

I felt that Supremacy was guilty of too much retconning in respect to the characters. I also hated them killing off Marie - it took me straight out of the movie and I never got back in.

A lot of people did not like the shaky cam or the editing.
Yes, me ESPECIALLY.

The NYC car chase in Ultimatum was better, IMO.

X2: X-Men United
I wasn't really a big fan of the original X-Men, so this one easily outdoes the original. Nightcrawler is my favorite character and his opening fight scene in the White House is the best part of the film. Although this is a good superhero film, I doesn't reach the upper echelon that is made up of Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins. I would probably put this on par with the first Spider-Man.
