On this week’s edition of Scottscope, we discuss The
Bourne Legacy, the fourth entry in the Bourne
Film series. How does it compare to the first
three films? Should the franchise have
stopped with The Bourne Ultimatum? Are Jeremy
Renner and Tony Gilroy suitable replacements for Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass? Does Jeremy Renner have the star power to
carry an action franchise such as this? Should
Tony Gilroy have stuck to screenwriting?
Has any film series produced a fourth entry that was worth
watching?
The roundtable will also take a look at the current state of
the action genre. Do jaded fans expect
too much from it? Is there still a
market for traditional action pictures like the ones from the 1970’s and 1980’s? Do current stars like Jason Statham deserve
comparison to the greats of yesteryear?
Do feature length nostalgia trips like The Expendables 2 make the genre look silly? Were the 1980’s truly
the “golden age” of action cinema? Is the
“chaos cinema” aesthetic ruining the genre?
