Easy question, but is it an easy answer.  Which do you prefer, Bond or Bourne?
 
Of course, Bond has longevity and that wonderful charm and typically British sense of humour.  But Bourne is pretty damn cool too.  And there will be a fourth Bourne film on it's way soon.
 
So, who is it to be?

Dude, even Maxwell Smart and Austin Powers would beat Bourne.

The Bourne trilogy is brilliant, I really love it, but I'm also a fanatical Bond buff. Just watched two of them last weekend. I can't look at the pre-Brosnan movies with much criticism, but the Bournes beat the living hell out of the last three Brosnan films. Casino Royale was a massive step up, I should watch the newest one soon. Can't believe I never went to see it on the screen.
It's on PA!

I found the latest one rather disappointing. Bring back the gadgets and dry humour. Casino Royale was a cool deviation but I hope they get back to basics for the next one.

James Bond has a more comedic and charming edge while Jason Bourne is nothing but intense action. I don't like comparing the two but I'll pick Bond.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Bond, although Casino Royale was so horrible that I've no interest in seeing the new one. The last few with Brosnan very pretty bad too, but at least they felt like Bond movies.

I found Bourne's films to be extremely boring and repetitive (sorry to the fans here). Although I feel the same way about bond. I loved Casino Royale though, so that gets my vote...

Bourne introduced a new aspect to the rock-paper-scissors game.

He beat a guy who had a knife with a towel.

Which Bond/Bourne?

Both characters were quite different in the books from the movies.  Personally, I enjoy both a lot.  Although I've only read Bourne in book form, and not Bond.  Bourne in book is amazing and better than the movies, but I enjoyed the action and such.  I'll go with Bourne I guess.

All, excpet a few, Bond movies are just crap. And Bourne just bores me to tears... so I´m going with Bond, just because of Casino Royale.

^My brother and I love it, surely one of the very people on earth who see it. We find it to be a great mix of Mission Impossible's fiction with a bit of humour. Also the fact of having a case per chapter, plus the story itself is pretty cool, one of the things I like so much about Dr. House too.

Hmm...interesting. I actually found the newest Bond to be essentially a horrible Bourne film. The Bourne movies are very good, the first one being exceptional. However, they come nowhere near this lineup: Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball (actually Bond movies never came close after these)

I vote Bourne

Which one do I enjoy more? Bond.

Which one would royally kick the other's ass in a fight? Tough, but since I have yet to see Bond kill a guy with a pen/towel/soon to be a blade of grass or piece of paper, Bourne it is. LOL

But Bond at this point has the longevity, so I'm going with him.

Bond, because he almost turned into an archetype in the western collective subconscious.
