It's more "syfy" than pro wrestling.

Well personally I'm the kind to be unwilling to watch more than a handful
of non-sf films. The Bourne Identity is at the top of that list.

"Syfy", in marketing language, means "sell-out".

Bourne is more Sci-fi than CSI.

Not really.

Is Syfy now airing CSI?

"The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" are almost as good
and bring some closure. Chase sequences not quite upto first one
IMHO. I have all 3 and rewatch several times every year. And the
novels are definitely worth your time.

No, it's not. There are people who believe it's real! That's mind control.
Isn't that a Ludlum plot?

If you can put up with the "WTF?!" plot and excessive amateur
shaky cam of "The Bourne Ultimatum".

Novels generally are.. But.. Several Times a year? Are you
having EST done while watching them? My Magic 8-Ball says, "All Signs
Point to Yes".

I like the films, but found the book (I've only read 'Identity') to be
a bit tedious. I wonder what my reaction would have been if I'd read
the book first before seeing the film? It's the same with "Three Days
of the Condor" - saw the film, liked it; read the book, wasn't
impressed. On the other hand, if I read a book first and then it's
made into a film, I'm generally less critical of the film.
