Article title?

edit

I know it's a temporary title, but what grammatical torture did this title undergo to wind up so poor. Seriously, the title should be "Untitled fifth Bourne film". Screw this, I'm moving it before we embarrass ourselves any further. oknazevad (talk) 12:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

As an addendum, this isn't actually the title of the film, so not only does not need italics, any use of italics is improper altogether. oknazevad (talk) 12:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Although, I really don't see why we should call it Jason Bourne (2016 film) instead of simply Jason Bourne (film), because there aren't any films released before that are called Jason Bourne, are there? --ZeroMinusTen (talk) 01:08, 8 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Content

edit

There's more "The Bourne Legacy (film)" coverage in this article than the actual film that this is supposed to be about. I know it's early yet - but hopefully it gets resolved sooner rather than later. 2601:547:1203:1414:C8F3:403C:50BF:105B (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Technical Accuracy

edit

Ars Technica lambasted numerous holes in the cyber/security aspects of this movie. Given the growing significance of such matters in films such as Jason Bourne, shouldn't one citation be included to cover this matter? The problems appeared to be both numerous, and egregious; so the question should be seriously considered. A movie with a budget sufficent to destroy enough cars to supply a mid-sized town could have afforded to hire an IT expert to proof the script... for half the cost of a discounted diesel Volkswagen.

I assume the above comment was referring to the ArsTechnica review of Jason Bourne which it says features " some of the most embarrassing technological shoe-horning you'll see in a film this year" and in the headline they say it is worse than Snowden (film). The review concludes "there's just enough here to sate any series fan's appetite. But those good moments are severe reminders that this movie's producers were totally tone-deaf in trying to make this an espionage film of the times."
It would be tempting to add this to the article but it would be more notable if a Hollywood film actually got the details right, more often than not accuracy is sacrificed for expediency. I also wouldn't want to place undue emphasis on a single source, if there were a few reviews from technology publications that all complained about the inaccuracies then it might be worth a brief mention. -- 109.79.64.162 (talk) 23:34, 10 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
