Bourne vs Bond

[RobertScorpio]

I pretty much love DAD up to the airplane finale. An invisible car I can live with (because jet packs, laser beam watches, hollowed out volcanoes and space rockets that eat other space rockets are so fucking believable aren't they!) but sticking Toby Stevens in a robot suit was just criminal...plus I really wanted Rosamund Pike to kick Halle Berry's arse!

If nothing else DAD was fun, and for me in the whole Bond vs Bourne debate that is the operative word, fun. Bond films are fun, Bourne films, well they aren't.

And yeah Bourne fought a guy with a rolled up newspaper, so what? Roger Moore once killed a guy with a flick of his tie!

Die Another Day was far from fun for me. I remember seeing it and the theatre crowd coming out of there thinking pretty much the same thing I did; it was stupid.

But, we all have our own taste; I actually liked octopussy!

I have to admit to liking Moonraker.

I like the villain and his silly plot. I like the space shuttles. I like Jaws or whatever his name is.

Sue me, I like it.

Your court day is next week, Bucko!!!

LOL...just kidding of course..

[Nowhere Man]

Bourne is cool, but Bond is the OG.I think the next Bourne movie should be Bourne: in the USA.

 

[captcalhoun]

I like DAD. I like TWINE, TND and Goldeneye.

But Bourne's still the shizzle.

 

[RobertScorpio]

Amazing how close this vote is...I am impressed. I voted for Bourne, but its clear both have very hardcore fans...good job you all!!!

I like Octopussy...

 

[Captain Craig]

I'll take Brosnan Bond over Bourne but Bourne over Craig Bond.

 

[RobertScorpio]

I'll take Brosnan Bond over Bourne but Bourne over Craig Bond.

Wow...I'd take Bourne over Brosnan. Never really got the 'kick ass' vibe from Brosnan.

But none of then would be a match for Maxwell Smart!!!

[Temis the Vorta]

Heeeey I tied it up for Jason!

Bond never seemed to be a real character to me. He's a cartoon. Jason Bourne seems like someone who could possibly exist in the real world. It's like comparing Homer Simpson to Hamlet.

 

[Nardpuncher]

What about different versions of the character? Would the Richard Chamberlain Bourne beat Moore's Bond?

 

[Agent Richard07]

What about CHRISTOPHER Lambert?

'De nem's Buhnd, Zhems Buhnd!'

With Sean Connery as (a Spanish) M, of course!

Who do you think would have made the greatest Bond but never got the chance due to age or other reasons...

Rob

That warrants a thread to itself. But names who come to mind:

Patrick McGoohan

James Mason

Cary Grant

Errol Flynn

Peter O'Toole

Terence Stamp

Richard Burton

Mel Gibson

Christian Bale

Hugh Jackman

I'd leave out Hugh Jackman and Mel Gibson. Both of them are too handsome. Daniel Craig's manly rugged look works better.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Hugh Grant or Sam Neill as Bond.
