My memory was definitely that Greengrass slated Bond. I cannot remember Damon commenting on the subject.
When I saw the QoS trailer, I watched it about the same amount of times as I did the one for CR, and could tell this was going to be much more action-oriented: it seemed to be the only thing I saw in it. Time went on, I got more and more excited as the TV spots became more and more frequent, and I saw it, and still enjoyed myself.
I call bs on this, and a lot of it. I like the Bourne stuff but compared to the star of Bond, seriously, Bourne isn't but a little comet.

@Creasy47 But you can't deny that the man is a great actor. He's had so many roles over the years, but there's one for me that really stands out, and that's his overlooked performance in this film, imo it was oscar worthy.
Jokin aside, I like alot of his films, Saving Private Ryan was really good and I love the Bourne films. But him slagging off Bond over and over rubs me the wrong way.
Same here. He should try and get that lighter side to show a bit more in SF.
I think if the producers went back to the more unapologetically unreconstructed character, they'd find cinema going audiences much more forgiving of Bond's prejudices and peccadilloes than they imagine. People all around the world love the faint absurdity of a British spy still lording it over evil gangsters and criminals and saving the world - and having a jolly good time in the process. Bring back Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!
Good post!
I don't think Damon should say anything negative about Bond. Afterall, the Bond character and most of the movies are much cooler than the emo stuff in the Bourne series.
