Bourne Legacy was a pretty good movie, until the end. Ending blew, so it ruined what could have been a really good movie.

So 85% of the movie was good but because 15% of it wasn't good it somehow made the other 85% not good, too?

Pretty much.Movies build up to the ending....so if it sucks it kind of ruins what you just watched.

I agree that it's a letdown when you have a great movie with a terrible ending but I disagree that it ruins the whole movie. It just means what could've been a great movie is merely a good movie.

A shitty ending doesn't act as a time machine that goes back and erases the fun I had getting to that point.

I still haven't seen the original Bourne movies

Finally! FINALLY!

I went to see The Expendables 2 today. Story-wise, it's a pretty generic action movie. But damn it is some good action. And seeing all these guys together kicking ass was undeniably awesome.

But the real story here . . . the REAL story . . . is Van Damme's return to the big screen. Personally, I think it should be like one of those "where were you" moments. Like, "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?" Or, "Where were you when man landed on the moon?"

Where were you when Jean-Claude Van Damme made his return to the big screen?

They're awesome, especially the first and third.

The first is the best.

It's kind of like how you can dominate a championship fight for 24 minutes and then get triangle-choked at the end and lose.

Received the same email. Pretty sure they have live odds on MMA

I actually didn't get an email, I just saw it was a new book on bestfightodds.com and checked it out since I've heard about it before. I might throw $500 in there this week. I was just seeing if any of you guys had an account, I would tell you to refer me and I'd get you 20% of what I deposit
