Still waiting on that Matt Damon one so that we can redress him as Jason Bourne.

I'm not sure why it got such a low RT, it's better than 90% of the blockbuster shit Hollywood has churned out over the past 30 years. It actually felt like an old fashioned epic, it didn't waste time on origin stories and making characters sympathetic it just dropped you in the story and let the characters show who they were. I thought it was a very refreshing film.

I've pre-ordered Lin, I'm hoping to get the others too.

Be nice to have an Andy Lau action figure though.

Actually in that sense it was a failure. Damon was cast to help the film break into the US market, which it didn't do. They did subvert the White Saviour trope though, Damon isn't actually the hero who saves the day.
