![]() Sean Connery is a fantastic actor with an undeniable legacy, but there are just some things at the ripe old age of 89 he couldn't do playing Bond today. James Bond has had the luxury of remaining relevant over many decades, but with that legacy comes the need for change. This could just be a sign that James Bond has finally gotten with the times, though I ( and others) are more convinced it's more the Bond franchise finally seeing a legitimate contender and measuring up against someone else in the spy genre. Jason Bourne is obviously the standard for covert agents with great close combat skills, and you see a lot of Bourne's moves in the bathroom scene in Casino Royale. He's also a master of close quarters combat and gritty in a way past incarnations weren't. ![]() Sure, Craig's Bond has the style and is arguably classier in some regards than past Bonds. There's also little denying that his movies have taken some inspiration from the success of the Bourne movies, and it's easier to see Jason Bourne in James Bond in Craig's take than it is to see Bond at times. Though there were those with doubts about a "blonde Bond" there's no denying Daniel Craig's rough and tumble take on James Bond reinvigorated the franchise. ![]() One Could Argue Daniel Craig's Bond Is Largely Inspired By Jason Bourne
