What did you guys think of it?? I thought it was a great movie. Matt Damon makes it a heap more believeable coz he's not some hard-ass muscly puke like Arnie, I thought it was rad, great movie, great book, big ups to it.

yaaa... i dunno, i liked it a lot, i just found certain parts to be completely ridiculous - the part near the end when damon's at the top of the staircase, and the guys are coming up the stairs after him, and he jumps off the 11th or whatever floor with a dead corpse to brace his fall... this is silly enough; but then he manages to shoot one of his enemies while falling.. other than this scene specifically, it was a really good movie. i liked the chase in the mini, especially since he actually stops and looks at a map. i've never seen a fugitive take the time to stop and read a map.

i thought it was really good, the best part was the field fight, where they hunt eachother... that was fabulous.

the movie sucked, it had no plot. The book was amazing, so much better then the movie, it has the best plot ever. Even if you hate reading you'll like the book.

i agree the book is much better. the movie really doesn't have much in common with the book. the whole beginning is entirely different. that is if i remember correctly........

why do you think theres no plot in the movie? i think they follow the main characters problems very well.. what was the plot of the book compared to the plot of the movie?

The book sucked... even if you're writing about 'international intrigue' it doesn't mean that your plot can't still be shallow, and suck. Throwing a bunch of twists into a story doesn't make the story any better. I didn't see the movie.
