Brief Synopsis:
Events triggered by Jason Bourne ripple through the rest of the world, as consequences are shown through another agent of a classified program, Aaron Cross.

A film that spends too much time trying to wrap up the previous entry in Act I, and not enough time with our new hero. A Burnt Outcome tries to cut down the opening 15 minutes of the film, while carefully trimming a few over the top action elements, and adds back 3 new deleted scenes to advance the plot and improve the characters.
Intention:
Watching the film, the opening really dragged for me as I couldn't quite tell what to expect from the film as it overlapped with the previous film, and didn't seem to do much for me. After watching the deleted scenes, I loved them and was wondering why the hell they'd be cut.

I didn't think I'd do a straight extended cut, but wanted to tackle the film and cut a few other things, mainly the opening, the travelling to Manilla and a few of the bike chase action beats, just to move things along quickly.

Recently watched this edit during a 'Bourne' series rewatch, and found it a much better experience than the original film. Cutting down Aaron's trek through the mountain helps the plot get going faster, and removing dumb things like him randomly shooting his rifle into the air makes the film seem a bit more intelligent. The deleted scenes were also interesting, they were probably originally removed for pacing but I found they added enough value to the story that it was worth putting them back in.

Lastly Im glad Bobson retained one of my favorite instances of juxtaposition in any film. When Edward Norton is picking up the trail and says "where the hell could they have gone?" and it cuts to the plane heading towards Manilla, hilarious! Glad to see that sequence retained in this edit.

This version makes a movie I already like, into an even better one. The insertion of the deleted scenes is flawless and the trims that are done are seamless. This is my go-to version from now on.

CĀ“mon People! Watch it !
Its faster.
Its direct.
Its Action.
Its Fun.
The original is a good entry in a good series of films and this Cut makes it better.

We have a direct introduction to our "hero" and this edit gives you the deleted scenes back, that really make it an intressting Rewatch and also a First watch.

I dont need to tell you that the Cuts and Edits Bobson does are great (you know that, and i fou you dont: What?)
