Anyways, I get that Legacy is meh compared to the original trilogy. It should be known that Tony was a writer for the first 4 Bourne movies, which is likely why Bourne 5 feels more different than it should be.
Legacy with Tony Gilroy is a different turn. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a trope in the books. I will acknowledge any downfalls they have, especially the reoccurring trope of having a person close to Bourne killed in the beginning to motivate him (also in Bourne 5). I like the sharper tone and merged arc of those two movies, and I prefer Supremacy a little over Ultimatum. The peak action scenes with well-directed music and plot really put Bourne in his cool phase, and I personally use them as productivity inspiration. The other assassins were mostly just there, though. Supremacy and Ultimatum with Paul Greengrass shift the franchise towards action and character building, especially building Nicky, Abbott, and Landy. All in all, it was progress on the right fronts with a hook for more. Kane’s assistant” scene was a good take on having a different perspective. It gave Bourne not only a good taste on normal life with Marie (and good chemistry of course), but also the hope for one. It’s mild in action and tone compared to the other ones, but that’s a good entrance for a franchise about assassination.
Identity with Doug Liman is the foundation of the rest in music, plot design, and visuals. I have preferences, but that doesn’t mean I’m limited to one movie.
