Because it's plot heavy, The Bourne Supremacy requires the viewer to watch, and the large amount of talking goes some way to distancing this from most other action movies. He doesn't utter one liners shortly before or after blowing someone away, nor does he spend most of the movie trying to look cool espionage is the order of the day and it works very well in the context of the film. He stars as the title character Jason Bourne, who, like the film itself is hardly your average action fare. It's unfair that he should continue to get lumped in with Ben Afleck due to their friendship as he has a lot of talent and I think that the fact he's gone for more art orientated films as opposed to the dumb blockbusters his friend was drawn to like a moth to the light shows that he has a genuine respect for cinema. It's also a good thing as I'm a big fan of Matt Damon.
The sequel is basically more of the same, but it's a welcome return in my opinion, as cinema needs films that are different to the majority. Unlike the majority of action movies before it, the first Bourne film, despite having stunts and explosions never put it's emphasis on them, as the focus was always on the central characters and their use of brains, rather than brawn to accomplish their goals. The Bourne Identity was one of those films that some people will love for being different to the average action film, but others will hate for it daring to be 'too' different.
