Seemed a lot slower, after watching Ultimatum on Saturday!!! (not saying that's a bad thing though!)
Yeah, I thought that.
Bond vs Bourne - Lets have it!

I disagree, James Bond is "some kind of international criminal" according to a friend of Ian Flemming, whereas Bourrne is most defianetly on his own "stop hunting me down and trying to assasinate me you CIA bastards!" side.
Anyway, anyone whose former employers were as much a bunch of insidious cunts as Bournes, should be happy to cheer him as he gives em a good kicking. And he doesn't waste time with silly gadgets, and he's not an alcaholic or a mysogenist.
I vote Bourne, without hesistation.

Yeah, but if he hadn't lost his memory, Bourne would still be the CIA twat he joined up to be. He is the David Shayler of screen spies, sort of. Just cos he's at odds with his former bosses doesn't mean his twattery is mitigated.foreigner said:

So many particulars. So many questions.
Bourne is great. Not sure about the new novel being penned by eric van lustbader though, as he is a bit well.......shit.
looking forward to the new flick though.
Bond would get smacked down

Bond. Purely because I've never got Bourne. I don't think I managed to watch both films all the way through, and I certainly didn't pay attention to them.
So this might be unfair because for some reason, I saw the Bourne films in settings where I wasn't able to attend. Or it could be because the films just don't grab me enough (though it would surprise me because so many other people say they are gripping). Or it could just be that Matt Damon as a spy doesn't do it for me, that the character is not believable, and therefore I find it difficult to watch.
Bond on the other hand is not exactly high class cinema but my mum was a fan, so I've grown up with Bond films which makes me look upon them more kindly. And you don't have to watch them seriously, which may have been a problem with Bourne for me. Perhaps for me, spy films need a healthy dose of cheese.
In re: to the characters though, from the little I can remember, I'd probably prefer Bourne as a drinking buddy. Bond is, lets face it, a bit of a chauvinistic arrogant twat.

I think Matt Damon is very convincing as Bourne, actually. Once it's made clear why he became an agent, he fits quite well with that ideal of 'Saving American lives'.
I think he's good as Bourne - as good as he was in Good Will Hunting and The Talented Mr. Ripley. I hate Ben Affleck, but I think Matt Damon is

Tbh I think I've just had a Bourne related mental block in the past. I should probably try and watch the first two films again in a setting where I can attend to it, and see if it makes a difference.

Like a boss.
Saw Identity last night, very good. Not fair to compare it with Bond though, different strengths.
