Speaking to the Miami Herald, the actor dismissed any similarities between the British spy and his own action franchise based on CIA agent Jason Bourne.
"They could never make a James Bond movie like any of the Bourne films," he said.
"Bond is an imperialist, misogynist sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people. He's repulsive."
The 38-year-old, who has starred in three Bourne movies, also criticised the Bond series for being too formulaic.
"[The director] Steve [Soderbergh] told me that years ago he was offered a Bond movie. He told them he'd do it if they gave him creative control," he said
"'Absolutely not', they said. They have a formula, they stick to it, and it makes them a lot of money. They know what they're doing, and they're going to keep doing it."
Damon previously accused the Bond character of being "dated", saying: "[He] will always be anchored in the 1960s and the values of the '60s."
