Bourne vs. Bond

Bourne is definitely cooler. From Askmen.com via Latin America News Review.

Matt Damon thinks James Bond is an outdated action hero.

'The Bourne Ultimatum' star thinks Bond is old fashioned and says his own character, former CIA assassin Jason Bourne, is a superior modern day action hero.

Damon said: "Bond is fundamentally different from Bourne. Bond is an establishment guy. He is a misogynist, an imperialist, he's all the things that Bourne isn't. He kills people then drinks a Martini."

"The director of 'The Bourne Identity', Doug Liman, said to me before we started the first one, 'James Bond does not speak to me at any level and I think it would be cool to have a James Bond that people our age can relate to.' Bond is a character left over from the 1960s.

"By the end of the second Bourne movie Jason is apologising for killing people. I've never seen that in a big Hollywood movie before."
