James Bond or Jason Bourne

I don't like 'eather. She's always leavin' tha empty milk carton in the fridge, and hoggin' tha bladdy telly.

I've only read the Ludlum books and that was maybe 20 years ago. Has he turned into an average action hero?

Yes, I liked the Ludlum books, but there is much more action in Eric Van Lustbader's novels on Bourne.

I voted for Bond. Been a fan since Connery played the character. And I read Fleming's books 30 years ago.

I read the books too, but I have always liked the movie better. In the books Bond seems abit more timid.

Just to update anyone who cares, a new Jason Bourne book came out this week titled The Bourne Sanction by Eric Van Lustbader, I can't wait to start it!

Jason Bourne all the way!

I've been a Bond fan from the beginning, and Casino Royale was the best, second only to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. That said, Bourne was a wild ride. Very impressive.

The Jason Bourne series has been overall stronger then the Bond Series. In my opinion only two Bond movies standout in the series thus far; Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale .

TND stands out, but but mainly as being as empty-headed as an action movie can be, practically like a Moore-era flick with its jumping from one setpiece to the next and nothing to hang the plot on.

I think it is funny that your two 007 standouts are the only ones outside of DAD that I didn't even bother watching in the theater (and that's coming from somebody who really is a lifelong devotee, who has read the books often and whose second memory in life is seeing GOLDFINGER in the theater before I was 4 years old.)
