You just named the highest grossing trilogy ever, the biggest book-based trilogy ever, and the perhaps the best dramatic trilogy ever.
No films, ever, should be compared to those 3 trilogies, and for good reason.
And not to mention the fact that the last of the Bourne movies just came out.
In the end, Bourne an action/spy trilogy, and a damn good trilogy.
But let's not be stupid fam.
Its not underrated at all. If anything, its overrated.
I liked the Bourne trilogy a lot, then went back and watched some old James Bond movies, and didn't enjoy them substantially less than I did the Bourne movies.
They're still great, but not timeless classics, at all.
