Much like Spider-Man 2, this action sequel...essentially delivers more of exactly what you'd expect, along with a blatant hook for the inevitable part three.

Reviews for The Bourne Supremacy
Fans of the original film will certainly be pleased with this sequel.
07/27/04
Energetic, edgy and intelligent, film is a worthy follow-up to its exceptional 2002 predecessor.
07/27/04
The car chase near the end of the film is one of most exciting shots ever.
07/27/04
A worthy successor to The Bourne Identity.
07/27/04
A worthy, but slightly lesser followup to the surprise 2002 hit, 'The Bourne Identity.'
07/26/04
I was riveted by [the] exhausting hand-to-hand combat and adrenaline-pumping car chases...
07/26/04
Dizzying editing and camera work will bother some, and the sheer complexity of the telling will confuse more people.
07/26/04
A convoluted concoction of shaky hand-held camera shots and stomach-churning edits meant to simulate the feeling you’d get if you were tossed over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
07/26/04
Frantic and fresh, "The Bourne Supremacy" is a chic spy thriller that's even better than the original.
07/25/04
The old-school Cold War spy thriller is Bourne again.
07/25/04
Much like Bourne, the film is a lean, mean, killing machine, and the action, near constant, is frightfully good.
07/25/04
A smart thriller for a smart audience.
07/25/04
The Bourne Supremacy is an exceptional thriller that is a sequel to a good one... Power runs through every frame, making the smallness of the world itself seem scary.
07/24/04
A buffed-up, kick-a** version of our modern collective consciousness.
07/24/04
I felt like I was Jason Bourne watching the movie, because I was one step ahead of it the entire way through...but even when Bourne is not at his best, he's still impressive.
07/24/04
A thriller with a brain, a grown up film for grown ups. Well done, all.
07/24/04
Damon, who carries a certain blankness and anger with him, is right at home playing people who don't quite fit in and are tying desperately to find where they belong.

Top CriticRank[s] as a solid sequel, one that plays to the original's strengths as a sleek, brainy alternative to cartoonish James Bond bloat.
