Haven't seen it, but an early review of this new non-Damon/non-Bourne sequel didn't get the love. The new guy is contemporary with Bourne, who presumably is still out there. The reviewer for the San Fran Chronicle said that the story line goes over peoples' heads. He didn't get it.
Damon has said that he won't do any more of these unless Paul Greengrass directs; he directed the 2nd and 3rd movies. I guess he meant it, so we get the new guy.
I'm going to see it anyway. Rachel Weisz is in it. Hubba hubba. Also Ed Norton. No hubbas for him, but I think he's pretty good. The new guy? Who knows ... ?
