Matt Damon doesn't believe you have the right to own guns and you guys go to a movie theater and plunk down cash to watch him act ?

I enjoyed it. Has the entire plot become less and less plausible? Yes. Has the movie series stayed true to the book? No. Do I give a shit about either? Not in the least.
I enjoy the genre, and appreciate the fact that an action movie series can be made without the Bond moniker. |

Never going to watch that anti 2nd monkey dance.
Boycotting even his old shit. |

So, how does it work in this series? Happy days was (by the standards of the day) a good show. Then it had an episode, in particular scene in fact, that was so silly it lost all credibility for the entire series. So, by using that phrase, OP is saying that the matt damon series was good, up until this iteration. This last movie is particularly worse than the others?

Who uses the phrase jump the shark Happy Days. Fonzie was water skiing and literally jumped a shark. The phrase is now used to describe a ridiculous scene that destroys any credibility in the movie.

Didn't see a jump the shark scene. Just another action movie with crazy car chase scenes. OP should explain what he thought jumped the shark. |

Never seen any of those films.
I've hated Matt Damon since before it was cool. |

Yes, because as silly as the first was it was a pretty good action flick with good gun play and fighting. Realistic?....no, but none the less good. When you just keep rehashing the same thing and each fight scene gets longer and more ridiculous and each car chase gets more "spectacular" with more crashing off several storied buildings ...all while no one gets more than a small scratch....there comes a point when you say "enough, you did this the first time....now it's just repetitive and dumb" |

At least Selleck isn't an anti-gun hypocrite. He is supposed to be a big fan of the 1911. Yeah, he's charming like grandpa, that way - but I like him despite his 1911 dementia. Actually it is referred to as common sense and good taste. |

I'll be damned if I'm going to spend money to see a movie starring that leftist hypocrite POS. Fuck him and his whole crew.
He's about as believable as a ninja, sniper, kung-fu, tier one operator as Rosie O'Donnell. Laughable. |

Any details? After Maaaattt Daaaamon's latest bitchfest about guns, I'm not going to see it in a theater. I may not even watch it at all. View Quote Pretty much this. He's a complete hypocrite. He bitches about guns and then makes millions using them for entertainment. Then he turns around and stars in movies where the rich elite are supported by the labor of the poor... making millions from the tickets sold to people poorer than he is. So I say fuck it. Don't give him money anymore. |

The books are a great read. The movies have zero in common with the books with the exception of the main characters name.

Spoiler Alert!
The main female character is the cute, tall, flat-chested chick. Early in the movie when we don't know what to think of her, she is sans makeup. As her character develops and becomes more dangerous, she gets make up and begins to look formidable. My bitch about these movies is the lawlessness. Newton's Laws are constantly broken.....big time....and that is just wrong....and impossible. Wifey wanted to know what I thought the next one would be. I told her it would be like the first three since they have been the same. |

FMD. The version with Jeremy Renner was the best one. Agreed. Renner does some very nice acting work. He's as good an actor as anyone, I suppose, but he's anti-gun, too. |

Why does anyone from Arfcom spend one red cent giving their money to those idiots from Hollywood?

They originally wanted The Fonz to jump some cars ala Evil Knievel but the episode was a beach episode near the ocean, so the creator said, why not a shark? Now it's history. They actually had two more seasons of the show after this. |

View Quote Pretty sure he got paid up front so technically, your screwing the guys who put up the cash to do the movie, which may or may not be supporting our enemies. I have no idea. Also, they do provide lots of jobs and then those people buy products that other people make with that money, just saying. Oh yeah, I almost forgot FUCK MATT DAMON! |

The books are far superior to the movie, read them and you'll never want to watch the movies again.

Fuck Matt Damon with a fucking fuck.
He's a liberal, outspoken, anti-gun, hypocrite. How the fuck can you make action movies filled with guns and blowing shit up, and live protected by guns, and pretend to preach to us ordinary people about how guns are bad and we don't need them? I won't pay my hard earned $$ to see another Damon movie, ever. |

I couldn't care less about his opinions on anything other than acting. I am fine with his opinions. Opinions are for things like, cheese or no cheese, and beans or no beans. This isn't about opinions. This is about financially supporting and popularizing pure evil in the form of a person. Rapist, murderers, and muggers can be shot. Thusly, they are less dangerous to society. That cowardly punk wants families helpless and subject to the whims of criminals. That makes him worse. That wortless piece filth is out to destroy the most basic of all human rights. I want all such people to drop dead. I'd be fine with spreading that out over a month or so. |

I wouldn't know, because I'm not awarding that asshole a dime for ticket money. I might catch it when I can see it for free on Netflix.

That's really Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a cargo plane taking off at a steep incline, hanging off the side of one of the world's tallest buildings, speeding around cars on a motorcycle at high speeds, etc,... Matt Damon relies on the help of the director, film editor, and stuntmen to attempt to make his audiences believe he is an action star. Tom Cruise's movies make me feel I got my money's worth seeing on the big screen, but Matt Damon's movies make me feel I got cheated seeing for free on my iPad Mini. |

This. I loved the Bourne series, but I'll be damned if I ever go (or take my family) to see one of his movies in a theater again. I don't know why anyone in this nation values the drivel that comes out of these assholes' mouths. They play "dress up and pretend" for a living and live in a privileged fantasy world, completely out of touch with the realities of America. They live in guarded walled compounds and criticize politicians who want to provide a small fraction of that same protection for our country. They argue for gun control while they make millions from gun-based entertainment and travel with bodyguards. They spew garbage about the environment while they live in 15,000 square foot houses and travel on private jets to the south of France so they can hang out on 150' long diesel spewing private yachts. They preach racial tolerance while they live in the most elite and segregated communities in our nation. Here's their anti-gun queen, with her bodyguard: https://i.sli.mg/r78ICq.jpg And this is the protection they get when they gather together for an awards show: https://i.sli.mg/Xc1Gp3.jpg https://i.sli.mg/kGR0JI.jpg https://i.sli.mg/GdDe61.jpg Yeah, pretty similar to what you have outside your home or workplace I imagine...and the same level of protection your wife or daughter gets when she is out alone at night. Why anyone on the right or left would want to give these hypocritical assholes even more of their hard-earned money is beyond me. Want to see their movie? Wait six months and grab it at Red Box. Even better, wait until a friend does. See how many people you can pack into that room to split the $1.59. Make it a challenge. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Again, it jumped the shark. Saw it today, and it stunk. Way too little storyline/plot, too many dragged out chases with shaky cam effects, too many close ups of Tommy Lee Jones' weathered, canyon-like facial crevices. I liked the previous movies, this one is a turd. The beginning was "borrowed" from one of the Rambo flicks, and the rest was rehashed from other Bourne films. The only reason I know they weren't filmed side by side is Damon looks older, and clearly hit some growth/Test for this one. |

The other movies were decent. This entire movie sucked, therefore causing the franchise to jump the shark. |
