The Rock is not a particularly good movie. okoshun likes it, so I've seen it a number of times. It's not the worst movie of its type, but not something I'd say that you need to check out.
The Bourne Ultimatum wasn't bad, though. The entire Bourne franchise is decent fluff entertainment. If you like action movies, and I suspect that you don't, you could do a lot worse. I wouldn't say that they require that you engage your intellect at all, and they might be better if you don't, but they don't require you to take your brain out in the back, blend it, bury the slurry and then urinate on it, which a good amount of the rest of the genre do. And while they're mostly action, they have a light dash of international thriller thrown in.
