the biggest plot hole to me which no one is talking about

If they killed all the super assassins like they attempted to do with Cross, why the fukk was that Asian super assassin still allowed to live and no one gave a reason why? And since its at the same damn time as Ultimatum, why the fukk were the assassins from Ultimatum allowed to live and given assignments to kill Bourne? IT MAKES NO SENSE :mindblown:

Legacy basically fukked up Ultimatum for me.

It was pretty good, I wished dude wouldve fought the super Asian at the end instead of him dying how he died

I don't believe the Outcome program was ever mentioned in Ultimatum...which is what Cross and the several agents who were killed early on were from. The Asian super-assassin in the end was yet another escalation of the black ops programs, LARX. A program which apparently only Edward Norton new about...and why it's participants were never mentioned/hunted/called on in previous installments. But in general I agree...I think the timeline gets a little fuzzy...

The biggest problem I had with this film was the nonchalant introduction of the "LARX" program. I think the introduction of ANOTHER, more advanced, secret black ops program with super-human soldier assassins is some lazy writing. I didn't mind it the first time (Treadstone --> Blackbriar) because it was the first lol...or this one because it was a decent enough conceit to extend the franchise without Damon/Bourne.

I would have MUCH preferred there simply be another Outcome agent who they hadn't yet given the yellow "death pill" to, who they send to kill Cross. At that point, it would make sense for Cross to have an advantage after he's been "viraled out."

That said...I liked the film. The action wasn't really exceptional and the extended scenes were few and far between, but I didn't mind the story even if it wasn't told particularly smoothly.

But, the thought of Cross and Bourne teaming up for a potential 5th entry into the franchise has me like :krs:

The Asian assassin was a part of LARX, which was a different project than Treadstone & Blackbriar. That's why old dude was so heated cause he didn't know that the project was active.

I admit theres a lot of confusing plot points that arent explained too well but if you dont compare it to the other 3 movies and let it stand alone its still an entertaining flick :yeshrug:

I can't believe some of you want a 5th film after this garbage. shyt made no sense whatsoever and fukked up what happened in Ultimatum.

Barely any action scenes and EVERYTHING dragged on and on. The epitome of :deadhorse:

I'm gonna pretend this one never happened.

THIS!!!! I've only seen the Bourne Trilogy once & that was like 4 or 5 years ago, so I had forgotten a lot of the shyt that happened. I loved Bourne Legacy, the movie had me hyped. I give it a 4 out of 5 on the spoiled movie review scale.
