If Jason Bourne ever put on a hat of any kind, he'd disappear. In both this and the Bourne Identity, he has the same haircut and only once, early in "Identity" does he change his wardrobe. In "Supremacy," he wears the same black coat for most of the picture.
A one point, Nicky says, "They don't make mistakes." Yeah, right.... When he goes to the hotel where Neski was shot, he doesn't know his picture has been circulated to the press, and consequently, when the politzi arrive, and he starts running, they pick him up outside the hotel walking on the crowded street, initiating an elaborate chase sequence.
Of course, if he had a hat, there wouldn't be an elaborate chase sequence.
And, I assume that if they film the other books in this series, he won't wear a hat then, even if it's raining.

I have trouble "suspending my disbelief" for "Period Pieces," amime, cartoons, and Sci Fi where the aliens look like humans with bad skin conditions.
So, I was not expecting much from this pic, and such low expectations probably helped it. I watched it to the end, and understood it, though it did it's best to "telegraph" what would come next.
Especially predictable were the scenes where the troop turns back to the town/city, first one, then another, and then all.
With starvation and disease rampant, life was much cheaper than that in the 14th century. They wouldn't have risked seven lives to save one that was old by the standards of the time, and would be dead in a few years anyway. Of course, if they'd've kept going, it wouldn't have been much of a story.

Any "round-eye" who's spent more than a vacation in Japan knows that every scene at the beginning of that movie, except where Bill Murray sees his face on a billboard, is a cliche... Boring.
I lasted 32 minutes watching the DVD, and that was all I could stand.
Then I heard that people who saw it in a theater liked it, but those who saw it on the tube didn't. So I thought maybe I should watch it until the end, which I did. No difference. If I hadn't forced myself to stay awake, I'd have fallen asleep at least twice.
Maybe someone can tell me, if the majority of the voting members of the academy didn't see it in a theater but watched the DVD version, how come the movie got the award for best screen play, which to me is a consolation prize for not getting best picture.
Something is rotten in Denmark!
