9 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching The Jason Bourne Films

Quote:
4. Jeremy Renner Was Never Going To Be Accepted Like Matt Damon

The Bourne Legacy was not as well-received by audiences as previous franchise installments, despite being a competently-executed film in its own right that delivers strong performances. It was the weakest-performing film of the franchise for one simple reason: Jeremy Renner is not Matt Damon.

Audiences had developed a strong affinity for Damon's portrayal of Bourne, and many fans were simply less receptive to a next-generation-type role or the perception of Damon being replaced – even by an actor of Renner's caliber. Renner delivered a fine performance, but it didn't connect with audiences on the same level as Damon's.
