Bourne beats bond

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2009)

i love the James bond franchise but the Bourne identity for me was the start of a superior franchise. The only problem is the plot of the Bourne films isn't everlasting id say...he cant remember who he is...yeah but thats not going to carry 21 or so films like bond...James bond has left more paths open shall we say. That said, less is better. The fact that there probably wont be so much more than 4 Bourne films will mean that there's less room for error. Call this the Fawlty towers method if you will. Only 12 made, but each superb.
The Bourne identity, supremacy and ultimatum are closest in retrospect to the world is not enough,die another day, and casino Royal, in terms of release dates. I cant be bothered to go into real nitty gritty details about performances and character development and action sequences because I'm lazy and Matt Damon's always top class. All i'll say is see for yourself if you watch them, the pros and cons. Heres a gauge of how good the films are if you chose bond over Bourne in the years released.
the world is not enough 6/10 the Bourne identity 8/10
die another day 6/10 the Bourne supremacy 8/10
Casino Royale 7/10 the Bourne ultimatum 9/10
