As always, make sure to let us know your thoughts on the Bourne movies and our order in the comments below! In this list, I shall undertake the task of ranking each of the five films from worst to best. The franchise’s less fantastical formula, and the manner through which its highly rated directorial trio encapsulated it through a new style of digitally filmed, shaky-cam action, even earned the franchise three academy awards.

Bourne became the cinematic face of a more bitter and realistic post-9/11 landscape, with the Robert Ludlum novel adaptations being rooted in more human conflicts regarding anger and retribution, and the films providing a more brutal and critical vision of aggression and war than had been the case in the genre for a few decades prior. The Bourne franchise has been a staple of the spy-action genre since its debut in 2002, with the five films directed by Doug Liman, Paul Greengrass and Tony Gilroy being accredited with changing the spy genre in such a way that even the great James Bond franchise had to stand up and take note.
