It was a direct to TV movie series and was based off of the original 1980 book. The character also made a brief television appearance in 1988 on ABC. In 2008 The Bourne Conspiracy was released for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. In fact, there have been books, movies, TV shows, and video games based off this popular character. Jason Bourne has worked his way into popular culture over the last few decades. However, such declines are expected as a series ages and this isn’t really uncommon.īuy the complete series off now! On the contrary, the latest movie, The Bourne Legacy (Lustbader’s interpretation) only has a 6.7 and a 55% respectively. The original Bourne Identity has a 7.9 on IMDB and a 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The originally three Bourne movies that were based off of Ludlum’s books received good reviews from fans. The original trilogy was written by Robert Ludlum, but the series has since been taken over by Eric Van Lustbader who has written nine books to date. In fact, it seems most good things come originally from books. Hopefully we can update this list in upcoming years.īourne is no different from other popular movie series in the fact that it originated from a book. The above list goes in chronological order, by release date. Each of the movies is available on DVD (sorry streamers!). However, you’re in luck if you have a Netflix account.

Sorry, there’s no way around it, it’s all or nothing. The Bourne Identity fills you in on crucial background information that is needed for the sequels. Like most popular series, you definitely need to watch the Bourne movies in order. Currently there are a dozen books with one being consistently written every single year. With Universal confirming plans for future Bourne movies, hopefully the movies will eventually catch up with the books. This strategy has proven effective over the last decade with a combined box office earnings of over a billion dollars. Known for its realism, Bourne does not use over the top CGI like James Bond or other spy movies which tend to be a bit over the top.

Every film in this four part series will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. The Bourne movie series is probably one of my favorite spy movies of all time.
