lol, can’t not but picture the team america puppet. And Definitely. There’s like twenty books so the movies definitely have more material to make more. Was at a used book store and saw a Bourne book, looked at where it was and yea jus jaw dropped by how many there were. For instance there’s …. The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Legacy, The Bourne Betrayal, The Bourne Sanction, The Bourne Deception, The Bourne Objective, The Bourne Dominion, The Bourne Imperative, The Bourne Retribution, The Bourne Ascendancy, The Bourne Enigma, The Bourne Initiative, The Bourne Evolution, The Bourne Treachery, The Bourne Sacrifice, The Bourne Defiance, The Bourne Shadow. I’m amazed at how the put “Bourne” in every title still.
would not work. the bond franchise works due to a lot of tropes inserted into the character. 'my name is bond. james bond', the martini, the gadgets, the womanizing, the secret service, england, the parties, the gambling, and so on. any memorable lines or tropes from jason bourne? none, whatsoever.
Oh hell yeah this is an instant classic. The whole mystery setup on who Jason is, is done so well imo. Like we get the idea he was an agent, we understand that it was a mission gone wrong but what was the mission, who gave the order, and why? Finding those out is the real juice of the story. And the fight scenes are insane imo since that even though he has amnesia, Jason’s muscle memory is clearly at peak performance, and he just kinda runs with it even though he has no idea why he knows how he’s doing it.
"HOLDAN THOMAS HARDMAN...!" aaah, I missed those 😂😂😂 With Mission Impossible and now Bourne, I hope this means we're that much closer to Val Kilmer's The Saint. Just some fun cheesy spy goings-on. Please?
Legacy is better than the 4th Bourne movie. It's also a fantastic spy tech thriller. It's written by Tony Gilroy, who wrote & directed movies like Michael Clayton, Nightcrawler & the excellent show Andor. So it's not a big surprise.
@@djjd8520it’s not really a standalone. It takes place after ultimatum but in the POV of another agent. I agree, it should be watched to fill in the plot holes
Miles better than the new Bourne movie at least. It's my favorite because I've always felt like Renner is better at action movies and I've always liked his fast hand to hand combat you see in Legacy and in MI movies. Never really bought Matt Damon in the role.
17:33 Holden: "Omelette du fromage!" I understood that reference, Holden hehe 😂Dexter's Laboratory was my show back in the day! My friends & I used to joke about that line when that episode aired, I remember I felt sooo bad for Dexter in that episode lol. Anyway, great reaction, guys, I always loved these movies. Can't wait for you to check out the rest of the Bourne franchise. The sequels were all solid IMHO.
sheesh I seen this so many times, many different reactions, and on my own, never once noticed the red bag at the end holding the plants until she mentioned it lol
If you haven't watched them, The Italian Job (2003) and Shooter (2007) are both good "man on the run" type movies. Both have Mark Wahlberg as the lead.
I highly recommend watching "Bridge of Spies" as a one off espionage movie based on a real story with Tom Hanks in one of his most underrated roles. Think you will both enjoy it.
I abolutly love yall commentary on these movies and i love the videos always bring me joy...on a side note I NEED a compilation of all the times jen has said we dont watch her movies haha shes right but its still funny
Unquestionably one of the best spy franchises. James Bond (007) and Ethan Hunt (IMF) were cool, but Jason Bourne was more my speed. Because he was so flawed, reluctant, relatable and stoic. The novel series by Robert Ludlum debuted in the year I was born (1980). I saw the very-first screen adaptation on television with Richard Chamberlain & Jaclyn Smith when I was 8 (1988). Definite Inspiration on The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (1998). Matt Damon getting his own franchise, 5 years after winning an Academy Award was unprecedented. So great from start to finish and more of an tradition approach to the genre. I have the special edition from 2004 with alternate beginning and ending that makes the story more complex. There was a video-game in 2008 called The Bourne Conspiracy on PS3/Xbox 360. It was a retelling of the first movie and kinda fun. The next 2 films (2004, 2007) are incredible. The 3rd film (2012) with Jeremy Renner is not liked very much. But was a decent enough sequel to me. The 4th film (2016) with Damon's return as Bourne, regardless of the years gone by since we've seen him is phenomenal. Extreme Ways (The Bourne Theme) by Moby in it's many versions throughout the films are so good.
By the way... it's never been a big industry secret that we have this flick* and its follow up to thank for getting the James Bond producers to just stop and close up shop and rethink their brand. This movie showed their caviar and tuxedo character had to be updated for a more 'modern' world/audience. Years later we would get Casino Royale and of course a lot of comparisons to the Bourne franchise. *Vin Diesel's Triple-X that also came out in 2002 was also the 'final nail in the coffin'; the very opening shot showed a man/spy wearing a tuxedo trying to get away from some baddies. He tries to allude them by hiding in a Rammstein concert. He can be made out a mile away(!). The world had gone and changed all around him. It was funny and sad to watch. You should look up the beginning scene.
Holden, "who am i" from jackie chan is a must watch. Understand where you got the memory loss vibes from. Cant just randomly call out a spectacular Chan film without following it up..
There was already a movie called The Bourne Identity in 1988 based on the same novel with Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne. The novel also inspired a franco-belgian comic book series called XIII. The comic books also have a really good video game adaptation and a not so good movie and tv series adaptation. You see the Bourne/XIII family tree is really wide spread ;)
This is one of my grandmas favourite series, i remember her watching these so much growing up... Thanks for the memories guys, glad you enjoyed the movie :)
I am so glad Jen hasn't seen these. I love these movies. They are among my fav. For me the rest are just as good as the first. Even the one with Renner.
the guy that got killed at around the 17:00 mark of the video is Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who played Killer Croc in the 2016 Suicide Squad, Malko in Game of Thrones, Algrim, Kurse in Thor: The Dark World, Heavy Duty in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Lock-Nah in the Mummy Returns and Hitu in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
First time watching your reaction and clicked when I saw Bourne Identity, such a geek fan. I read all of the books and loved them. The films do a pretty good job of entertaining and leaving one thinking quietly "can the agencies REALLY be like this, is this a revelation of MK Ultra?". Enjoy the Bourne journey.
I like Jen's reaction to it and hope she enjoys the next 2 movies as much. It is hard for me to pick which is better between Jason Bourne and John Wick movies.
I'm glad you both are doing this franchise. These movies are very well written and directed. They should get more respect than they do but I am so happy you are checking them out. Also, you have to watch The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner. It's a part of that world but it doesn't get a good review but I'll love to get your opinion on it.
So glad you’re watching the Bourne films, definitely need to watch Legacy as well. Also strongly agree with Holden regarding Who Am I, has maybe the best choreographed fights scenes of all time. 👍👍
The Bourne series (trilogy, in particular) is absolutely peak Y2K vibes action/thriller. I really resonate with the music: "Extreme Ways" and "Ready, Steady, Go!" were some outstanding track selections
The Bourne Identity released while I worked at a movie theater as an 18 year old. Any movie released between the summer of 2001 and the summer of 2002 (LotR: Fellowship, Harry Potter 1, Bourne Identity, Star Wars Episode II, Black Hawk Down, Jurassic Park III, Spider-Man, etc.) holds a special place in my heart and when I browse streaming sites like Netflix, I can pick out any movie that came out when I worked there with like 99% accuracy.
The pistol you’re holding in the thumbnail…. One of my first purchases in my 2A journey. Beretta APX… mine was a centurion. If it’s yours or the hubby’s… great choice! 😁
Mid '80s, I read Robert Ludlum's book The Bourne Identity, when I was about 14 or 15 and never forgot it, so it was a great surprise when the Bourne films started to come out. Highly recommend fans of the film read the book too. Well worth it.
By the way, when you get to the Paul Greengrass directed sequels don't fall for the generic hate for "shaky cam" that permeates RUclips. All Paul Greengrass movies are shot with the documentary style "shaky cam" style & he does it excellently. Every action is captured in a frenetic style but Greengrass doesn't do the generic shaky cam movement. You can clearly followe every move of the actors during action scenes. But of course, Hollywood simply decided to ape that shaky cam style without adopting Greengrass's unique technique. Years ago Chris Stuckman did a fantastic video on how shaky cam ruined action movies but he also pointed out that the Bourne movies are the exceptions to that.
So, technically speaking, movies like the Jason Borne trilogy are not actually spy movies. More like action-operator kind of movies. If you really want to watch a true, good spy movie, I suggest "The spy who came in from the cold", based on John Le Carré's novel. Not material for a reaction probably (it's a 1965 movie and I'm not sure how many younger people have watched it) but it's definitely worth the time for people interested in cinema. It's a true spy movie to the extent that it shows the spy game as a completely immoral activity where there are no good or bad guys, only a network of spy agencies with their own objectives and the determination to pursue them mercilessly to the point of treating even their own people as disposable assets. A great insight into the dark world of espionage.
Great Reaction. You should also watch Spy Game with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. It is an amazing film. It is arguably the most realistic and greatest spy movie of all times.
Love this series and really like how fairly grounded it is, it's always been one of my favorites since I was younger. I'm also pretty sure the Daniel Craig James Bond films being more grounded and serious than past iterations of Bond was in correlation to this series coming out
Really love these movies, a bit too much shaky cam, but damn great! Would like to see you watch the others! Also another sort of spymovie is "xXx" aka. "Triple X" with Vin Diesel, back when he did good movies. And I will still ask for you two to watch "Megan Leavey" because it is 1000% perfect for Jen! I admit, I never saw the red bag at the end, great catch!
solid series! The shakey cam gets a liiiittle bit more noticable from what i remember..at least, the 3rd one i believe? Still good and definitely worth checking out, but i do legitimately think this was one of the major reasons SO many action movies following this one overutilized the shakey cam lol
Did you spot Matt Damon running behind the little van when he "disappears" after disembarking from the fishing boat? You can just see a frame or two of him that they left in. 🙂
My dad was a huge fan of both the Robert Ludlum novels and these movies, even though they’re wildly different. Honestly, I’m a fan of both as well. And he preferred these movies to the James Bond films because Bourne wasn’t some slick bloke in a tux. These seemed more grounded to him. He passed away between the release of Ultimatum and Legacy, so he missed the last two films in the series, alas. Anyway, happy belated Veterans’ Day to the Mrs. Thank you for your service.
I don't know if you guys plan on it but I highly recommend the latest hunger games (the ballad of songbirds and snakes) it is my favorite and would love to see yalls reaction ❤
I hope this warms Jen's heart. I recently watched The Rock, which I know is Jen's favorite movie or at least I remember her saying it is, and I loved it. Holden should show Jen National Treasure 1 and 2, Nicholas Cage is great in those movies.
Great to see you finally get to this series. I actually prefer the 2nd one slightly better. I’m thinking you’ll both enjoy the 2nd one more. Overall, all of them are good in their own way.
I always loved the 90s europe vibe, its one of those movies that doesnt take place at the usual american places and takes the hole thing to a really underused setting. Part of that is that as a european its always cool to see a bigger production like that in familiar places. The hole thing is also more grounded and isnt over the top like other spy action movies. Its more believable and it feels very real, at least for me
Can't wait for Supremacy & Ultimatum. Unlike everyone else, I actually enjoyed the 5th installment (Jason Bourne) 4th if you dont count Legacy. Imo Legacy is a great stand alone, but doesn't fit into the marathon until the 5th movies tie in. Great watching these along with you 2 👍
"You could just kill her and keep the money..." Yep, Holden definitely played GTA.
And the car!
And SHE KNOWS THAT! Which is WHY she was SO reluctant to do it!
6:20 okay that Michael Caine joke was the most subtle sneakiest joke in a reaction video ever
Ikr? I had to do a double take at that, I was like: "Wait, what?" lol, that was great haha 😂
My Cocaine 😊😁😃😄😆
Can somebody explain the joke lol
This is the first time I've caught that. Maybe b/c it's been so long since I knew who Michael Caine was. lol

MAAAATTTTTT DAAAMMMON is a real treat in this series, and the entire series is worth watching not just the trilogy.
Also the TV series
lol, can’t not but picture the team america puppet. And Definitely. There’s like twenty books so the movies definitely have more material to make more. Was at a used book store and saw a Bourne book, looked at where it was and yea jus jaw dropped by how many there were. For instance there’s ….

The Bourne Supremacy,

The Bourne Betrayal,

The Bourne Sacrifice,
The Bourne Defiance,
The Bourne Shadow.
I’m amazed at how the put “Bourne” in every title still.
You know... I don't think we've had a full "Holden Thomas Hardmen" in some time. Well done.
Hard man by name, Hard man by reputation. :P
Thomas? I thought Danger was his middle name
@@animatorFan74Es HombreDuro
One of the greatest series of all time. I’m so happy you guys have started this 😄
Spot on mate. In my opinion it really is the greatest. Has a mix of everything, romance, sadness, action, adventure, mystery and so much more !!
bourne trilogy is underrated man. i m kinda glad there's more or less some closure instead of making him the new james bond franchise
would not work. the bond franchise works due to a lot of tropes inserted into the character. 'my name is bond. james bond', the martini, the gadgets, the womanizing, the secret service, england, the parties, the gambling, and so on. any memorable lines or tropes from jason bourne? none, whatsoever.
@@wiegandweitz9763 A spy shouldn't be that memorable. Still be careful talking about him 'cause he's standing right next to you.
Wow, great eye, Jen! I've re-watched this movie countless times and I've never spotted the red bag in her bike shop.
Neither did I. So many rewatches 😅
Those who have spent time in the military are detail oriented 😉
Oh hell yeah this is an instant classic. The whole mystery setup on who Jason is, is done so well imo. Like we get the idea he was an agent, we understand that it was a mission gone wrong but what was the mission, who gave the order, and why? Finding those out is the real juice of the story.

"HOLDAN THOMAS HARDMAN...!" aaah, I missed those 😂😂😂
With Mission Impossible and now Bourne, I hope this means we're that much closer to Val Kilmer's The Saint. Just some fun cheesy spy goings-on. Please?
Definitely agree about The Saint. Love that movie
Can't wait for Holden's inevitable comment during the hypothermia scene, and Jen's reaction to it. LOL
Bourne legacy with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz is great and underrated you should add that one into the marathon as well.
It's very underrated and very well shot. No shaky cam.
Legacy is better than the 4th Bourne movie. It's also a fantastic spy tech thriller.
It's written by Tony Gilroy, who wrote & directed movies like Michael Clayton, Nightcrawler & the excellent show Andor. So it's not a big surprise.
couldn't agree more, it was the first one I watched, then watched them in order, its a fantastic stand alone movie but does fill in a lot of holes
@@djjd8520it’s not really a standalone. It takes place after ultimatum but in the POV of another agent. I agree, it should be watched to fill in the plot holes
Miles better than the new Bourne movie at least. It's my favorite because I've always felt like Renner is better at action movies and I've always liked his fast hand to hand combat you see in Legacy and in MI movies. Never really bought Matt Damon in the role.

The picture of Michael Caine sent me lol.
Solid 4 minutes of laughing.

Can't wait for you to check out the rest of the Bourne franchise. The sequels were all solid IMHO.
Holden is looking so *_rugged_*
Dude I use the line no less than 3x a week when gaming with the bots! That and "DeeDee you are STUPID!" Are staples in my lineup.😂😂
YES!!! "WHO AM I" with Jackie Chan is an UNDERRATED movie.
One of my favorites FOR SURE!!!
10:05
“I have some other needs that haven’t been met in awhile.” 😂🤣😂🤣 Welcome to the club!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Fun fact the Bourne movie trilogy was written by Tony Gilroy, showrunner and lead writer for Andor. He also both wrote and directed Bourne Leagcy
That's Richt probably one of the main writers. phenomenal job by the way with the screenplay
sheesh I seen this so many times, many different reactions, and on my own, never once noticed the red bag at the end holding the plants until she mentioned it lol
Same!
the bourne ultimatum is absolutely amazing. "Jesus Thats Jason Bourne"
"I don't think this is up to code." ----- Holden, my man!!!!!:)
One of my all-time favorite series! You will love the rest of them!
Sweeeeet, I love this franchise. Perfect Saturday morning breakfast content 😂
Love this whole series! Matt Damon killed this role.
Didn’t realize you hadn’t done these yet. Probably my favorite movie trilogy. I’m so on board for you watching the next two.
Watch all 5. I watch them all the time and it's fun to hear a fresh perspective.
FINALLY A CHANNEL THAT WILL ACTUALLY REACT TO THE BOURNE MOVIES 😭
There are others who reacted to Bourne Trilogy. Jen Murray, Addie Counts, Asia and BJ reacts, Octokrool, TBR Schmitt, alot others.
@@beautifulbliss5883nice! ill be sure to check em out!
Good catch on the red bag. I've watched this movie dozens of times and never noticed it at the reuniting scene at the end.
This is my favourite movie of all time I can’t believe you’re watching it!!
One of my absolute favorite trilogies. So happy to be watching these with you guys!
Why does the thumbnail appear to be of Holden doing his first Desk Pop? Lol nice vid.
If you haven't watched them, The Italian Job (2003) and Shooter (2007) are both good "man on the run" type movies. Both have Mark Wahlberg as the lead.
Shooter is a great sniper movie
+ for Shooter, incredibly cool movie!
This was amazing. Please watch more of the Bourne movies pleaseeeee! It gets even better
I highly recommend watching "Bridge of Spies" as a one off espionage movie based on a real story with Tom Hanks in one of his most underrated roles. Think you will both enjoy it.
Mark Rylance is so great in that movie. Deserved his Oscar, imo.
@YoonbeenPark He won the BAFTA fir it too. Both sides of the Atlantic, baby.
Y’all’s banter is hilarious with Holden’s jokes. Gave me a laugh lol 😂

Unquestionably one of the best spy franchises.

So great from start to finish and more of an tradition approach to the genre.
I have the special edition from 2004 with alternate beginning and ending that makes the story more complex.

Extreme Ways (The Bourne Theme) by Moby in it's many versions throughout the films are so good.
Don't forget the Treadstone TV series. It got cancelled after one season, but I liked it.
@Sandstroem1981 I know.
I didn't acknowledge it as much because I wanted another film with Damon as Bourne to tie up franchise.
These movies are great...all of them. Enjoy the ride! and yes watch the Jeremy Renner one too.
If you want to watch the version closer to the book, you should watch 1988 version of the same name, starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith.
I wish the subsequent movies were even this close to the books they share a title with. 🤦♂️
By the way... it's never been a big industry secret that we have this flick* and its follow up to thank for getting the James Bond producers to just stop and close up shop and rethink their brand.

You see the Bourne/XIII family tree is really wide spread ;)
Still one of the best car chases on film. Chefs kiss 👌🏾
The best car chase ever on film? Ronin with Robert DeNiro
Love all of them
The end of 2 and 3 both give me goose bumps every time I watch them
A Holden Jason Bourne remake please big thumbs up

You guys should also watch the Treadstone tv show. It gives you more insight on the organization and other agents involved ✊🏽🔥💯
That's so funny you pointing out the stock dolphin sound effect. It was the same one used in the 60s TV show Flipper, lol.
Can’t wait for the next one! I love the franchise.
Definitely voted for it many times. Glad you all are watching it!

One of my favorite movies and that ending song goes so hard i luv it lol.
One of my favorite series, it’s such a well made, thought out franchise.
I saw this in the cinema on release and I had to wait forever for the DVD to binge it.
Matt Damon was really good as Jason Bourne. Whenever I watch these movies, however, I always think of The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Long Kiss Goodnight is my favorite of this type of story.
I like Jen's reaction to it and hope she enjoys the next 2 movies as much. It is hard for me to pick which is better between Jason Bourne and John Wick movies.
04:30 Love that, Jen is so cool 😊
10:04 - ** Jen middle-naming Holden ** - And there it is! 😂😂😂
I'm glad you both are doing this franchise. These movies are very well written and directed. They should get more respect than they do but I am so happy you are checking them out.

You two should check out RUN LOLA RUN! I think Jen would get a kick out of it!
Did you spot Matt Damon running behind the little van when he "disappears" after disembarking from the fishing boat? You can just see a frame or two of him that they left in. 🙂
Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner is also a must watch, there should be more of those too!
Dang, I’m gonna have to wait to see the reaction for the second movie 😂
My dad was a huge fan of both the Robert Ludlum novels and these movies, even though they’re wildly different. Honestly, I’m a fan of both as well. And he preferred these movies to the James Bond films because Bourne wasn’t some slick bloke in a tux. These seemed more grounded to him. He passed away between the release of Ultimatum and Legacy, so he missed the last two films in the series, alas. Anyway, happy belated Veterans’ Day to the Mrs. Thank you for your service.
Yeah Jen!!!
These films get better and I love “shaky cam” filming.
I don't know if you guys plan on it but I highly recommend the latest hunger games (the ballad of songbirds and snakes) it is my favorite and would love to see yalls reaction ❤
Dark City!!! Fun reaction
Huge fan of the franchise. Can't wait for your reactions to Supremacy and Ultimatum.
These movies are my fav.. they give me a feeling that I can't explain and I can watch this movie anytime I wana feel good 😊
a good follow up to this movie would be BASIC with John Travolta n Samuel l Jackson.
I hope this warms Jen's heart. I recently watched The Rock, which I know is Jen's favorite movie or at least I remember her saying it is, and I loved it. Holden should show Jen National Treasure 1 and 2, Nicholas Cage is great in those movies.
I will not give that order!!
@@JBeck33 oh, you were quoting the movie. I'm so slow lol.
Weird how they haven't reacted to that
@@kevinh9110 national treasure? Maybe they'll react to it someday.
@@TimothyMills77 I mean The Rock but yeah NT is outstanding
Great to see you finally get to this series. I actually prefer the 2nd one slightly better. I’m thinking you’ll both enjoy the 2nd one more. Overall, all of them are good in their own way.
I always loved the 90s europe vibe, its one of those movies that doesnt take place at the usual american places and takes the hole thing to a really underused setting. Part of that is that as a european its always cool to see a bigger production like that in familiar places.
The hole thing is also more grounded and isnt over the top like other spy action movies. Its more believable and it feels very real, at least for me
You guys should watch the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies they are fun and different from Daniel Craig’s
Can't wait for Supremacy & Ultimatum. Unlike everyone else, I actually enjoyed the 5th installment (Jason Bourne) 4th if you dont count Legacy. Imo Legacy is a great stand alone, but doesn't fit into the marathon until the 5th movies tie in. Great watching these along with you 2 👍
Jen: "We're watching the Bourne movies...neener neener neener". 😂 👍
Robert Ludlum is the author of the Bourne books the movies are loosely based on. 😅
