The Jason Bourne Collection (DVD, 2007, 4-Disc Set; Limited Edition)

Wow! These 3 films are just terrific! I read the first Ludlum novel (IDENTITY) in 1980, and I've been an avid fan ever since. The 1988 TV miniseries with Richard Chamberlain was pretty good, but then came these 3 films, and now, for me, Matt Damon simply is Jason Bourne. This package has all 3 Bourne movies+extras in a "Swiss bank account" box complete with a cool mock-passport that has a special extra inside--a 4th disc with a nice bio of Robert Ludlum. And the silver box looks great on my DVD shelf.

The Bourne series is a canny, sometimes brilliant hybrid of genres. Yes, there's exciting, breathtaking action all the way through, but there's a great deal more. The movies start with a man who's lost his identity, and the loss goes much deeper than he realizes. He seeks both knowledge and revenge once the depth of his damage becomes clearer, and learning who he really is and what he's done, and what the cost has been to others, is a terrible but thrilling burden.
Damon is remarkable. The other cast members along the way, like the wonderful Franka Potente from "Run Lola Run" and of course the inimitable Joan Allen add depth, humor, passion, darkness. At a time when government policies are so controversial, the trilogy is a powerful condemnation of victory at any cost thanks to Matt Damon's layered, sophisticated performance. Yes, there is bravura camera work that some people don't like, and utterly original long sequences that are close to astonishing, but there's also real heart to this movie, thanks to Damon, who by the way has a superb ear for languages. He listens. Watch him watch the world around him and listen to it, scanning for threats and clues--you won't be disappointed if you're open-minded.

As for the 3 movies themselves, what can I say that hasn't already been said? They're great. Doug Liman and Paul Greengrass are fine directors, and they seem to be inventing a new way to film action thrillers. The cast is first-rate, and the action sequences are among the best ever staged. The scripts have cleverly updated the original novels to reflect current events, and there's just the right somber, serious tone to them, especially regarding the central character's search for answers about his former life. There's been a lot of argument about the lightning-paced editing and the naturalistic lighting and the hand-held cameras, but I think these elements give the films their sharp edge and constant sense of immediacy. And Damon's portrait of the tormented hero is one for the books. Any way you look at it, the Bourne trilogy is incredibly intelligent, entertaining, state-of-the-art filmmaking. Highly recommended.

I bought the item and never recieved it.I contacted the seller twice. The first time they told me it was on its way, and the second I got no response. I then went to pay pal asking for a refund. After I submitted the complaint, Ebay emailed me saying the seller had been shut down. DO NOT BUY!!!

I never purchased this product because eBay suspended the seller's privileges and told me not to pay for it.... The rating is because if eBay felt they needed to suspend his privileges then he probably wasn't a good seller anyway

I finally found a seller of this item that wasn't scamming people. Great product and service. I had to have these movies and the case it comes with is wicked cool.

Paid through PayPal but no goods delivered. Tried resolving through e-mails since Feb. 16th but no results. Satisfying replies but no results. ????? I am surprised at this being his rating is so high.

I would have loved the Bourne Collection DVDS if the seller had actually mailed the DVDs to me. I payed for them but never recieved anything on them. Watch out for guys like this....they're only out to make a buck.

I have seen all of these wonderful action packed movies, but wanted the "Bourne Collection" DVD set for my library. I enjoy all action type films; however, the Jason Bourne (aka David Webb) are the type that keep you on the edge-of-your seat and if you have a home theater system, well you just can't beat them. The car chase scenes are like no other. Brilliant acting as well.

I have read all of the Bourne novels by Robert Ludlum as well, so I am a big fan.

If you have not yet seen any of the Bourne movies and enjoy non-stop action and with PG-13 rating's, don't wait any longer!!! You won't be disappointed.

This product has been discontinued and/or out of stock on various other websites such as buy.com and deepdiscount.com, but it is available via many sellers on ebay and probably the best deal I've ever gotten for an ebay product, let alone the best online purchase. It comes in a really cool box, and of course, all three movies are great! Very suspenseful, very good storyline, and cool alternate ending & special features!

The packaging is top-notch. Very nice silver, flip-top box contains all 3 dvd's and also comes with the Jason Bourne Passport. A must own.

Great movies! Extremely engrossing and a fun ride. I really like the idea of putting the hours of extra features in a Bourne Passport. Fast pace that keeps you knowing only what Jason Bourne knows.

My 24 year old son had been wanting this dvd collection for quite awhile, so I surprised him and bought this as one of his Christmas presents. He likes limited edition sets with bonuses and such, which is why he was specific in wanting this collection and not the individual dvds. While I have not seen the movies, he has watched all of them, including the bonus dvd. He was extremely pleased and enjoyed all the dvds that were included in this set.

I love it, man. Good condition and everything. Thanks! -----------------------------------------------

I have been looking for this item for a long since i lost the first two i looking to find all three and the case with the Passport ID as well. I love the way i looks and it just adds to my recently building of all the DVDs that i have i like to thank the buyer for the quick ship out and i look forward to watch them over and over.

Sincerely

we needed all 3 DVDs, & its a good series, so therefore we found a deal & bought it. My wife & I are very impressed by this food deal of a trilogy

I really enjoyed all three movies, very suspenseful. This collection came out before Christmas and was very hard to find, glad I finally got a copy for myself.

This Trilogy is one of the best movie series I have seen in recent years. And this package is a great deal, putting 3 movies together with an extra DVD on special features and a nice box set. You don't get some of the extra feature with each movies, but for the price I think this is a great buy.

The movies themselves are awesome, very tightly tied together and well executed. Tons of actions and twisted story lines.

I never received my purchase, Jason Bourne Collection, and it has now been 7 weeks since I made my purchase.

A great set of movies. Good Drama, Good Action. A good mix of reality and conspiracy. Does the CIA really work like that? Who knows! Great Acting! One of those movies you never get bored of watching..

Matt Damon at his best!

Never received the dvd set paid for thru Paypal(thank God). I will never buy from Ebay again. So buyer beware. Don't let this happen to you too.

I really can't tell you much about this product because I never received it. It was the first item I have tried to purchase on eBay in four years and I got stiffed by the seller. It cost me more to put a stop payment on my check than the winning bid price. I hope to find a copy of this title at Best Buy or at Borders, or I may go through amazon.com. It was very discouraging to finally get up the courage to try eBay again and not receive the item.

It was quickly shipped and arrived in the exact condition (brand new) that it was sold as. I was very happy with this experience and would defintely buy from this seller again.
Thank you very much!

i decided to purchase on ebay as all the stores were completely sold out. The seller was very descript about the product and was shipped promptly. I was very satisfied with my first experience bidding and purchasing on ebay and will continue to do so in the future

This was a gift for my son. He called me and told me that it is a very beautiful, sophisticated packaging, and was nicer than he expected. He was very pleased with it.

I purchased this boxed set for my Dad, the man who has everything. What great movies. They are fillied with action and many twists and turns. They made a wonderful gift. They did take quite a LONG time to be shipped out even paying more shipping to get them qucker. It didn't seem to make a difference. Just more money.
