  The Bourne Supremacy - Rotten Tomatoes
Supremacy is briskly paced and the screenwriting is fairly clever and crafty and salvages the film as a whole.
Supremacy is, minor quibbles aside, a worthy successor to The Bourne Identity.
The Bourne Supremacy is something of a double rarity: an exciting, intelligent Hollywood thriller and a worthy sequel to boot.

 The Bourne Supremacy Movie Review at Hollywood Video
As Bourne closes in on his adversaries, he also exposes a covert alliance between certain CIA officials and Russian criminals that the filmmakers reveal judiciously, without resorting to unwieldy exposition; they deserve additional kudos for keeping the narrative red herrings to an absolute minimum in their tightly constructed screenplay.
Supremacy not only surpassed the original, it was far and away the best action film of 2004, and Universal has packed the DVD with enough extras to satisfy the most curious of minds, just in time for holiday gift-giving.
Bourne is the anti-Bond: the latter uses gadgetry galore, has women at every turn, and kills without remorse.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Bourne Supremacy" movie review (2004) "The Bourne Supremacy" review, Paul Greengrass, Matt Damon, ...
Staying 100-percent true to the surprising, cerebral, cliché- and catch-phrase-eschewing spirit of 2002's "The Bourne Identity," screenwriter Tony Gilroy (returning from the original) and director Paul Greengrass have put together a breathless sequel with tense intellectual punch, smart, seat-gripping action, and a hero who is utterly compelling, almost without saying a word.
Bourne's hand-to-hand combat with another CIA field operative whom he's cornered for some answers is invigorating because it's bluntly realistic -- fast, brutal, messy, seemingly unchoregraphed and reliant on instinct and weapons of opportunity.
These are the touches that make "The Bourne Identity" and "The Bourne Supremacy" the kind of thinking person's popcorn movie that will stand the test of time.

 The Bourne Supremacy - Movie Review by Adnan Khan - TEN Movies
Because Jason Bourne is a harder-boiled spy with a meaner inclination even if his wardrobe doesn't quite match up (in our contemporary times, important point factor for chicks).
"The Bourne Supremacy" wastes little time with exposition so it might be an idea to acquaint yourself with its predecessor "The Bourne Identity," a wonderful introduction to the rogue spy thriller directed by Doug Liman (he only serves as executive producer for the sequel).
There is another sequence when Bourne is detained to an interrogation room; the few seconds of silence before the violence erupts is so effectively done that could you almost slice the tension with your ticket stub.

 MCN: The Bourne Supremacy
Jason Bourne is a character that fits America's sense of political reluctance while blaming individuals, not institutionsm for horrible missteps, making Bourne the ultimate guilt-free American hero of this generation.
Greengrass' cinematographer, Oliver Wood, was on Bourne Identity, but the pro he is, he adapts to Greengrass' style of shooting a lot of coverage from a lot of angles, surprising and expected, and then making it into something special in the cutting room.
I expect Supremacy to push past the $250 million mark, at worst, and that should be enough water in that cash pool to float the next boat.

 The Bourne Supremacy Movie Review - MovieWeb
So Bourne must evade everyone, while trying to figure out why the hell they're after him, yet again.In the first movie, I was incredibly surprised with Damon’s action/fighting skills.
Watch her in Pleasantville, or even The Contender and then watch this movie and you’ll see just how talented this actress is. She can play a wide variety of roles, and this role, like her turn in this year’s The Notebook, she plays a female of the chilly persuasion but with potential to thaw.
The Bourne Supremacy shares a similar theme to another of Damon’s flicks, Rounders, because they are both about the fact that, no matter how hard you try, you can’t change who you really are.

It might help if Bourne knew who he was, but the memory loss with which he struggled in "Identity" continues to plague him.
Damon doesn't ask to be watched and that's why we watch him, and the payoff is a quiet powerhouse of a scene in which, in front of one of the movie's very few innocents, Bourne finally lets his emotions get the better of him.
Most movie heroes punch through armies without scraping their knuckles, but Bourne's a believable wreck by midpoint, even as he's driving CIA spooks to distraction by calling them on their cellphones from nearby rooftops.

 Reviews: The Bourne Supremacy - Christianity Today Movies
And yet, looking at Bourne's face, we sense that he has lost something by returning to this former way of life; we sense that the fact that he even has those reflexes is yet another painful reminder of the fact that he once embraced a basically evil life.
Michael Elliott (Movie Parables) agrees that the director's "handheld 'shaky cam' approach quickly becomes tiresome and annoying." He concludes, "[The film's] goal seems to be to mirror the success of the original film by copying the elements of the story as closely as possible."
Bourne may have been programmed to be a heartless killer, but even the best programming cannot suppress his conscience.

 Joe Critic | "The Bourne Supremacy" Movie Review & More
The Bourne Supremacy is like a film on a sugar high; most action sequences are composed of shots where the handheld camera quickly pans following the action, while the editing quickly jump cuts from character to character.
Supremacy has moments that are as satisfying as the original; his relationship with the agency is interesting, but the side plot with the Russians is not.
The movie doesn’t really have a bad guy, there’s a Russian guy, but I couldn’t remember his name let alone what connection he had to anything, there’s Landy but she’s just “doing her job,” so she’s excused from all blame.

 Movie Review - The Bourne Supremacy - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
The cinéma vérité style that served Greengrass so well in his "Bloody Sunday" (about the violence that has plagued Ireland for three decades) is put to good use here, too, lending immediacy and believability to the action scenes.
Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), you may recall, was a CIA assassin who wound up with amnesia after the CIA ordered him killed.
Like Michael Corleone in "Godfather Part III," Bourne thought he was out, and they pull him back in: Framed for murder and on the run from Russians (yeah, the Russians are involved), he has to clear his name so he can go back into hiding.

Supremacy has all the action and corrupt motives of the first film.
Supremacy lacks much of the heart that was in the first film, but packs a wallop in a few action scenes.
Relief director Greengrass, (Doug Linman was at the helm of the first film) seems to his way around celluloid but the rapid-fire editing of the action scenes seem more like he's covering up something than he is trying to pack a creative action punch.

 The Bourne Supremacy - Movie Review by Abhishek Dey - TEN Movies
Their lives however, are far from heavenly, as Bourne is continously tormented with unpleasant visions of the horrific actions committed by his former self.
What transpires is the death of Marie, which leads Bourne to view the incident as yet another attempt by the CIA to track and dispose of him.
To sum it up, The Bourne Supremacy is of great cinematic value in comparison to it's contemporaries, and evokes a recollection as to why we were enamoured by films such as The French Connection.

 'The Bourne Supremacy' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
The new film opens with Bourne, now hidden away with the girl in the paradisiacal Indian state of Goa, coming under gunfire from an assassin (Karl Urban) whose deadly aim is as true as his.
And on and on as Bourne and his nemeses hopscotch from India to Italy, Germany and Russia, with pit stops in Washington, D.C. In keeping with all this globetrotting, director Paul Greengrass, who either has very creative attention deficit disorder or the fastest reflexes of anyone over 14, keeps his movie moving and then some.
Because of an early plot twist, but mostly because of who Bourne actually was in his shady past, the character registers as less sympathetic in "The Bourne Supremacy." His heart's still pumping, but one glance at his haunted eyes and it's clear something has gone deeply, perhaps permanently wrong.

As Landy unlocks Bourne’s secrets a critical event rocks Bourne to the core and sends the world’s most lethal man after not only the CIA but Landy herself.
Greengrass’s approach to Bourne is interesting in a lot darker and his drama filled scenes are his strengths but he seems to be lost in the high-paced action sequences.
When we are thrown into an action situation as Bourne fights for his life, the camera flies all over the place in a nausea-inducing frenzy.

 THE BOURNE SUPREMACY Movie Review
The stakes are now even higher for the agent as he coolly manoeuvres through the dangerous waters of international espionage - replete with CIA plots, turncoat agents and ever-shifting covert alliances - all the while hoping to find the truth behind his haunted memories and answers to his own fragmented past.
Jason Bourne doesn’t have many lines in this movie as his girlfriend has been removed from his life and so his character is a loner on the run, always one step ahead of his pursuers and as such we don’t get to know him as a person.
Seeing ‘The Bourne Identity’ before ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ is not entirely necessary (although it helps) as it is a movie in its own right.

 Review on Bourne Supremacy - Movie by HM4790 on MouthShut.com
Two years on from the events of The Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is holidaying with his girlfriend Marie (Franka Potente) before he is suddenly tracked by both a Russian hired killer (Karl Urban), and the CIA, who hold him responsible for a murder.
The Bourne Identity was solid entertainment, but The Bourne Supremacy is pretty close to excellent.
Another weakness is that there’s a distinct lack of heart in the film, which is probably due to the cold and distancing approach adopted by most of the actors.
