Both Bond and Bourne are interesting and cool characters, actually they are pretty similar if you think a bit. Both Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace were really good, Daniel Craig as James Bond is simply very good. In my opinion the new Bond character is actually a little bit mad, you may think the same if you think back to the balcony scene in the Quantum of Solace. Actually perhaps there may be only positive opinions about the new Bond character.

if he is so anti-violence, why does the front cover to the latest film have him holding a gun with an explosion in the background. wouldn't a "realistic" spy be more subtle?

The concept of James Bond is out dated. Probably why I liked the Bourne movies so much. There is no place for a spy like that, times have changed. It's fine to keep making Bond movies, I'm fine with it, just set it in a different time period or change Bonds role in the world. Spies just are not what they once were as the "game" has changed, but more importantly, spies aren't viewed the same way as they used to be. I believe most people don't buy Bond as a realistic character anymore. If you went to 20 people on the street, just random people, and asked them to describe what they think a spy might be like, how many would describe Bond? I don't think it's as many as it used to be.

I'll admit, I've ripped on Matt Damon many times in the past. I really didn't like the guy or his movies. And the whole Team America bit, at the F.A.G meeting, I loved it. But I'm man enough now to admit that I was completely wrong about him. He is cool, he is a talented actor, and yes, I even like the guy. The Bourne trilogy was great, and I hope we'll get to see another trilogy over the next 8 years or so.

I always knew he was cool for a reason. and yes, I hate Bond, too. He's so unrealistic and stupid. A white, posh, blue eyed British spy would never cut it in the post 9-11 world today. He would immediately get killed by Latin American drug warlords or Afghan warlords.
