Bourne is like a real guy. I can't buy Bond being in the world I inhabit, or anything even remotely close.
Ask the ladies which one they'd prefer. Might be an eye opener.
That's exactly it. Bond is nothing more than a cardboard cutout. Okay if you like that sort of thing.
From Russia With Love has Bond's first 'real' gadget - the briefcase.
You are right, though, most Bond films prominently feature expensive cars that are featured due to payments from their manufacturers. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, for instance, features a Mercedes-Benz 600, driven by Blofeld in the final scene where Tracy is murdered. (Yes, the same car of choice for evil dictators Jeremy Clarkson was driving in Top Gear the other week!)
Bauer? Really? I find that show soooo boring I watched one half of an episode and quit.Now, Bond vs. Bauer? That would be a tough choice.
Interesting for me choice in Lustbader as I read his book "The Ninja" around the same time I read "Bourne Identity". I read Trevanian's "Shibumi" at that time too. Of the three I liked "Shibumi" the most.
It had plenty of gadgets Bond never used, so I hardly think that counts. The only things Q supplied Bond in that film that saw use were the plastic explosives hidden in a toothpaste tube (barely counts as a gadget) and the gun hidden in the camera. That one was bulky and very practical as far as equipment goes. There was a conscious effort in that film to push Bond as realistic as possible and tone down the gadgets - just like in Casino Royale.
Sorry Bond is too classic!
I suspect to build a framework to make Bourne durable enough to last, say, 22 movies, and still travel around to exotic locales and do the super spy thing we have come to expect, he would end up looking a lot more like Bond.
Bond, easily; far more fun than Bourne.
Bauer? Really? I find that show soooo boring I watched one half of an episode and quit.Now, Bond vs. Bauer? That would be a tough choice.
Heh, guess we're even then. That's how I felt about Bourne. I haven't read the books though. Maybe they're better than the movies.
I think they are, but if you didnt like the movie you wont like the books.Bauer? Really? I find that show soooo boring I watched one half of an episode and quit.Now, Bond vs. Bauer? That would be a tough choice.

Yeah I know but it's one of two movies where Q armed Bond in the field.
Is this a question? Really? Someone had to ask this?
Bourne all the way. Aside from being more realistic, I thought he had a very interesting story, and the man kills people with newspapers. That takes some skill.

Bond hands down, sorry but Matt Damon sends me to sleep. The first Bourne film was actually very good, shame the 2nd and 3rd became shaky camera mirror images of one another and jettisened Franke Portne.
I find it amusing that Casino Royle was a reaction to Bourne, especially when the 3rd Bourne film lifted the Tangiers rooftop chase from The Living Daylights. And all that left field stuff re Julia Stiles character in the third one was a bit WTF as well. Did like the Railway station bit mind you, even if it was the sort of thing Spooks (MI5) have been doing for ages.
