Jason Bourne vs James Bond- Who will you side with?
Now with the final movie in the trilogy being released today and with Matt Damon saying he would pick(well of course he would) Bourne over Bond... who would you pick?

James Bond all the way. Screw Jason Bourne. James Bond is a film Icon for chist-sake, Bourne is no where near the level of 007.
I'm probally a little Bias though because of the actors who have played bond. Connery, Moore, Dalton & Brosnan are just so much cooler than Damon.

James Bond doesn't require herky jerky camera work and quick edits for HIS fight scenes.....

007, always. I've only seen the first Bourne film and , while it was good, it didn't blow me away. Bond could have kicked the shit out of him in 10 seconds. Okay, maybe not George Lazenby, but certainly Connery and Craig.

With the exception of the Goldeneye video game, the Bond franchise has never interested me in the slightest. Way too over-the-top, and there's no drama or suspense, 'cause you know Bond's gonna make it, every time.

Forget Bond, he's not even in Jack Ryan territory yet.

If we are talking general ass-kickery...
Bourne>Moore/Dalton/Lazenby/Brosnan
Bourne=Connery (for the most part)
Bourne v. Craig Bond ?? That's a fight I'd like to see!

Are you serious? "Bourne" is the reason the Bond franchise had to go back to the drawing board.
That said, I'd rather see Paul Greengrass or Doug Liman do a James Bond flick than dragging the "Bourne" franchise out.
