Matt Damon's most notable franchise is absolutely the action thriller series all about the incredible agent with memory loss, Jason Bourne. 

However, while he returned to the franchise to film The Bourne Ultimatum, he felt that the quality of this third entry was distinctly lower than the earlier movies.

“I don’t blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It’s just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. It’s terrible. It’s really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left.”
