Damon slags off Bond

Shows that the Bourne films really are antithetical to everything Bond is about and that trying to copy them instead of playing to the series' strengths is a huge mistake.

"Bourne is a serial monogamist whose girlfriend is dead and he does nothing but think about her ... he doesn't have the support of gadgets and feels guilty about what he's done."

I hope they don't try to follow this in Bond 22. "Oh Vesper!" cry :cry: cry. :cry: cry :cry: Fleming's ideal was not monogamist and Vesper was quickly behind him. Vesper didn't make Bond, Bond.

It does not look like he was too faltered by Craig's spy copying his.

Right, quickly behind him... that's why he visited Vesper's grave every year at Royale les eaux on the anniversary of her death.

I've just seen the latest Bourne. It really made CR look like something from the 80's. Bourne is much more innovative, clever, realistic, up to date and exciting. The story was easy to follow even though i had'nt seen the first two.
