I know this one has been out a couple years, but I just now got around to buying it. I haven't seen it yet, but plan on watching it later on today or tomorrow(my days off). How is it? Is it as good as most ppl say it is? What about pq and sq?

    I wouldn't name it one of the best candidates for PQ and SQ...but it's a VERY good movie, so is the second one...

    I love the Bourne series. Identity received major kudos for the fight scenes, and Supremacy has one of the best car chases I've seen.

    I thought it was awesome. Damon played his character very well.

    The coolest part, I thought, was how no matter how much **** was blowing up around him, or people chasing him, he remained calm and emotionless.

    I would give it 4 out of 5.

    There is one scene where a window breaks...(I don't want to ruin it in case you haven't seen the movie....but I'll give you a hint, he's back in his old apartment) crank the volume!

    There are better scenes in the movie for working your surrounds, but this one scene seems to catch most viewers unaware

    Yep, the first one kicks **** over the second one. The second one started doing all the choppy camera BS they do on tv now. At 106", it can make you a little queezy.

    Finally watched it tonight. Killer movie. I'll definitely be buying the second one.

    I had completely forgotten about this while watching it. Never saw it coming lol. Jumped right outta my seat...

    I just now saw this.

    You dont like 5.1 Steve?

    I admit, the idea of 2 channel is more appealing. I could get some RTi8's and a badass Denon stereo receiver for what I would pay for a set of 5 Monitors and a low end Onk.

    Dont you miss all the surround effects?
    Ill go multichannel as soon as I grow 3 more ears.

    LMAO!!
