Really? I liked the visual, but was disappointed from a dance point of view. Because it seemed that the whole scene was working its way up to a showdown between these two -- a let's just get everyone else out of the way and watch these two dancers attack each other (a concept of which I wholly approve, as one of the things Bourne does really really well is choreograph for strong, charismatic male dancers). So I was waiting for that to happen and when they actually got there, it was a stunning visual, but pretty anti-climactic in terms of awesome dance.
