Wonderful review, as usual, sir! Thank you! I will be both seeing the film and receiving the score tomorrow, so I'm curious to see if I agree with your assessment. But regardless, your exceptional backstory to Powell and the Bourne series makes this review a gem. Thanks again!

No, thank YOU! I'm just happy people read them and (sometimes) like them smile

Another digipak

Another digipak

Yeah, it annoys me too. It's really annoying for me, and quite fragile.

I'd rather have a nice jewel case like all the others. I guess BackLot is just making cuts in budget..

I don't like Back Lot much. I'd rather the Universal movies score get released by another label.

Serious, non-smartass question: What are you doing to your CDs that the digipak is fragile?

I got mine in the mail today and the bottom corner was bent and the plastic was crushed.

I feel your pain

I watched the movie today and I thought it was good. The ending had me laughing pretty hard, because the millennial looking CIA agent thinks she can pull one over on Jason Bourne. As far as the score, I think John Powell did the best he could considering the circumstances he was going through at the time. I have heard some bad scores but this is not one of them.

Nothing, really, just at the end of the days that's just how digipacks are.

Jewel cases, please.. it's simple, but so, so much better.

I saw this movie, and unfortunately I think a better title for it would be "Still Bourne." The soul of the character – somebody longing for a memory of his humanity, programmed for a mission he doesn't understand – seems long gone. He's just a shell of a human who fast-walks his way through exotic locales, wreaking havoc to no particular end.

The score reflects this. It's done well, and I enjoyed listening to it such as it is, but it has nowhere to go, and offers no emotional payoff. How could it, given the cold pointlessness of the film? It's telling that the plaintive woodwind theme for Bourne – the one that always seemed to reflect his lost humanity – is barely present here. Bourne is a vengeful robot at this point, and sticking that melody behind his actions here would have been laughable.

Talk about more of the same…. Truly a sequel that never justify its existence story-wise, while it was the most important thing to do at this point of the franchise. Enough of the CIA black ops and global surveillance plots already!

Even if giving a pass to the unusual amount of illogical and idiotic things the characters do, I agree also with Schiffy that the morality of the character (perhaps a product of former screenwriter Tony Gillroy) is out of the window - a nail to the coffin near the end for me, even more so after the ridiculous editorial nightmare that precedes it.
Also, how many people can an "asset" kill (without anyone blinking in the CIA room) for us to understand he's the unstoppable bad guy?

The score unfortunately reflected the framework of the whole endeavor, like a bored version of what's been before.
Bring on "How to train your dragon 3"!

Is this a digipack everywhere? Or do certain countries actually have a jewel case?
