In all three movies, there's a team of agents in a little room hunting for Jason Bourne. A leader agent barks orders like "Get a visual on Bourne!" while everyone else hunches over computer screens, watches Bourne through remote video, listens to tapped phone conversations, etc.
The last one has Bourne actually break into the building where this-movie's team is operating. He runs around. Trouble ensues.
I was really, really hoping that, after three full movies of the bad guys hunting Bourne with remote technology, he would actually crash into the room and yell: "HERE I AM! What now, motherfuckers?!"
Having spent so long thinking of Bourne as a grainy image, a voice and a name in a file, I thought their reaction to personally confronting the person they're tracking would've been pretty rich. I could imagine them completely freezing, until Bourne left the room. Then, back in their comfort zone, they could watch him through security cameras and someone could yell, "He's in the hallway! Get me a visual!"
Bonus points if Bourne punches an agent or steals someone's coffee, and everyone acts like it never happened.
Alas, as awesome as Ultimatum is, I'm denied.
