I see it as a possibly desirable goal of the storyteller. Why wouldn't it be? Pure raw experience has its place.
I suppose so, but, at the end of a film that had been narratively coherent up to that point (or relatively so, by Hollywood standards)? Kind of a "one of these things is not like the other" experience.
The upshot of the chase sequence, as with other sequences in the movie, is to showcase Bourne's awesome skills of divergent thinking and creative mis-use of everyday objects. When I can't tell what's going on, how am I to tell he's being creative, and it's not just an accidental splicing of film?
Oy.
I have to give the reviewer credit for typing that long a piece one-handed.
Jessica, my response to that is "Oh, fuck off. Welcome to being a minority. Please keep up."
Okay, I'm a bit snappish, but you can read most anything into anything, and he's not revealing much other than his own issues by doing so.

Dunno. I didn't have any problem with it. I was just surprised to see a devaluation of conveying raw experience. Some storytellers should be so lucky. Hell, more should.
This post may not be top ten, but it is old enough to drink.
I can't say as I had a problem with the previous Bourne movies. All I thought was that if you were going to make any movies out of Ludlum books, those would be the best choice. I'm looking forward to that one and to Ratatouille. We'll see which one I can talk my dad and/or my nephew into going to see.

You were just waiting for that one, weren't you?
If Ratatouille is about Jewish assimilation X-Men is about homophobia. Oh, wait. Maybe art is what we bring to it.
oh, that looks like some good shit, P-C. thanks.
Yeah, I'm excited. When I saw it in the theatre, it physically affected me; I could feel my entire body tense up. I hope the movie lives up to the promise.
