<![CDATA[Bond vs Bourne]]>Since there is a Bond thread, thought Iโ€™d jump on the bandwagon and put forth my fav action character in comparison.


I think the Bourne series is well written with a taut storyline and great action sequences. Matt Damon has been really convincing in his role as a tortured ex-assassin. The Bond series, in comparison, seems almost silly and pedestrian.

There are a bunch more novels in the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum, and long may Bourne live!

Like all of you mentioned more up to date lah. Bond more old school and too many women. At least Bourne a bit more faithful. ๐Ÿ˜›

It's all in the name of fun and entertainment lah. Got to suspend reality for all/most movies, even for the Bourne Identity mah.

That said, Matt Damon is an amazing actor. I really liked him in The Talented Mr Ripley - man, was he chilling as the multiple-identity-assuming killer. And of course, the Bourne Series was fantastic.

Yup, do agree that Matt DAmon is a very talened actor. I first saw him in that movie with Ben Affleck and Robin Williams, Good Will Hunting. Never fail to make my pupils sit up when I show that movie to them, as a form of inspiration .... ๐Ÿ˜„

So hence some of the lame pick up linesโ€ฆ


Why I say I like Daniel Craig is because he seemed to be able to bring a bit of modernity to the character, whereas Pierce was really just a bit of an extension from Sean Connery and Roger Moore.

Bourne OTOH, had a clean slate to start with. Who knows, maybe after 30 years, itโ€™d look old too.

The one series which I truly thought the old series far exceeded the new one, was Star Wars. Oh man, just watched โ€˜The Empire Strikes Backโ€™ a few weeks back, now THAT was a REAL movieโ€ฆ
