Popular series you tried but couldn't get into

That's totally fine.

I like these movies for the fact that the action is pretty intense, feels realistic without any gimmicks like exploding pens or laser watches, and the way Jason Bourne improvises solutions and tries to evade escape (most of the time) are pretty nifty. The car chases are especially action-packed and every Jason Bourne movie has at least one put into them. There are parts that do feel a little unrealistic and wouldn't happen in real life, but for the most part, it does seem pretty believable. I think the writers deserve a lot of the credit for these movies.

I won't deny that there are parts with a LOT of useless filler that are not at all interesting to watch and don't contribute to the storyline. I understand they might be for character background, but weighing the time it takes against how important it is just makes it feel like it isn't really worth it.

I'm one of those cheesy people that loves cliche gadgets so that might be part of the problem. XD

I mean I've also always been more for an emphasis on action with romance on the side but it always felt so... rushed with Jason Bourne. I mean it does with James Bond too but by like the third movie I was numb to it. Though some of the scenes were really funny, most of it just felt boring to me.

Hey, cliche gadgets are fine too, there's a time and place for them. :3 I actually don't care very much for romance parts, and I know the Bourne movies are very touch and go with those, like you said.

Call me crazy, but I like some of the more recent James Bond movies (not the ones with Daniel Craig, I just don't think he portrays James Bond all that well) over the older, "classic" James Bond movies that had filler conversations that basically sedated me. I know they really amped up the action scenes, shootouts, car chases, explosions, and all that jazz in recent times and I like that. Stuff like Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World is Not Enough is more of the stuff I like.

Cliche gadgets are the best man! I love them because it's just like oh you think this is lip stick WRONG IT'S A FREAKING LASER.

Yeah the new ones are much better in my opinion. Personally Quantum of Solace is my favorite but they're all really good. Tomorrow Never Dies is a very close second though.
