Review analysis by Alfred Ademi
The first paragraph is a brief plot about the film, this is to show the reader what type of film it is and what they can expect.
James Dyer begins the review by saying "Not long ago it would have been tricky to imagine Matt Damon, the twinkly-eyed lad from All the Pretty Horses, playing a convincing action star. But five years, three films and scores of broken bodies later, it’s now all but impossible to think of him as anything else" he is praising Matt Damon for his performance as Jason Bourne and that the film will not be the same without him.
In the third paragraph James Dyer talks about the setting of the film, then moves on and talks about the narrative of the film. "Bourne has given up his attempts to hide from the government agency that created him, and instead seeks answers/vengeance for their, and his, past crimes" James Dyer tells the reader about the film and Jason Bourne’s mission. James Dyer continues to praise the narrative “Bourne has given up his attempts to hide from the government agency that created him, and instead seeks answers/vengeance for their, and his, past crimes" this suggests that the audience will be so hooked on the film they will forget about the time.
James Dyer has used formal language throughout the review. The way he has written the review is very easy to read and understand as it is written in chronological order. I think James Dyer should have written the review in informal for the general reader because Bourne Ultimatum has a certificate rating of 12A therefore informal would have been more appropriate even though the movie is targeted to a higher age group than 12.
James Dyer also mentions the settings on more detail. "globe-trotting screenplay ripples with invention, taking Bourne from Russia to Madrid, Paris, Morocco and ultimately New York" he is praising Tony Gilroy, Scott S. Burns and George Nolfi’s screenplay and how good it is. This navigation of different countries relates to 'Jason Bourne' as he tries to run away from police, this makes him run nearly around the world trying to look for his true identity.
"Damon, however, has grown into his character like a second skin" this tells the audience how good Matt Damon’s acting skills are and how much a part of the movie he is. This is similar to how James Bond is connected to the movie '007'. "Bourne is surely the most efficient killer Hollywood has ever produced" this is a very bold statement to make as there have been many films with killers including heroes and villains. Jason Bourne to be the most efficient killer just emphasises how important this character is to the movie. By saying this, more people will want to go and see the film to see how he kills people and how good it is.
In conclusion the review is very effective in addressing the audience on how good the film is. There are no bad sides of the film in the review; this is reinforced by the 5 STAR rating James Dyer gave to the film on the verdict and stating that the Bourne Ultimatum is "The best blockbuster of the summer".
