    I've given this a five star rating because I think you should rate what you are seeing and what you are hoping to get from it. I go to action films to see action, to have a few laughs, and to enjoy the ride. That's exactly what this film did. It was a great diversion. It doesn't pretend to be more than it is - but what it is, is plain good fun.

    Dissapointed with this movie. Casting of Kiera was a mistake. No exitement at all. Save your time and money.

    I thought it as great, a very enjoyable movie. I went with my 17 daughter and she really liked it too.

    It's just not up to the standard of the Bourne movies or the previous Jack Ryan movies. It never really builds tension and the action isn't very exciting.

    The plot I thought was good, most of the acting was good, except Kiera Knightly's American accent was horrendous. Some of the chase scenes were a little long and drawn out. I can't say for certain what it was but this movie just missed the market. It might be that if you didn't read the books you maybe lost on the character development.

    I don't know why so many people have rated this movie so low. I enjoyed it loving the Chris Pine casting. It isn't Shakespeare but it's a good popcorn flic.

    It's better than a 3 star movie, I'd say 3.5. Decent plot and action, but a few jump aheads in plot development that you're supposed to understand or assume which make it a bit dis-jointed. Still, a solid outing.

    It is alright. Plenty of action but very little plot. Kenneth Branagh is better than this. The film just skipped so many plot points - we are just supposed to assume everything. I felt like the film was on fast forward. I am more than happy to stay for a story, why do they have to give us the coles notes version of the film. Shame.

    Costner hasn't been this good since The Postman.
