Most annoying shaky cam...

[deleted]

This is one of the few films where I felt the shaky cam worked as it wasn't used to hide poor choreography and seemed to have been moved in a deliberate fashion.

Can't disagree more. It's one of the few examples of shaky cam and quick editing working. Often it doesn't, but Greengrass makes it work. Everything is very deliberate, everything is designed to make audiences follow along, while giving a frenetic, exhausting look, matching the content.

I agree. It almost gave me a headache and I almost cried when it kept appearing. It nearly ruined it for me. Seen it in the cinema and haven't watched it again. Hate shaky cams with a vengeance.

It's terrible, but Quantum of Solace's is even worse...

Yes, it is really overdone and annoying in this film. I watched the film again last night to get in the mood in for the new film, and I had forgotten just how terribly the camera work was in this film.

The "most annoying, though? I dunno, at least it was a good story...it's much worse when films use shaky cam throughout but the film itself sucks, too. I'd probably vote for Taken 3 as most annoying in that respect.




Are you enjoying your genetically modified food?

This and Quantum of Solace are the worst.

I didn't like it either.
