Just can't get past all the shaky cam. No movie with that much shaky cam will ever get more than a 1 star rating from me. And please don't try and defend it as adding gritty realism or some such non-sense. Shaky cam is just a gimmick used by amateurish filmmakers when they are out of good ideas.
Didn't notice much of that, myself... Not like this is Transformers, or anything.
shareQuite a bit of it in the running away from gunmen scene in first act, and more in the walking around dazed after the bombing scene.
Well... never been chased by a bunch of angry, armed Irishmen, but I have been pretty close to large explosions on more than one occasion and that is a fairly realistic representation as far as a movie audience goes. Not too sure if I'd call it gritty, as it lacks the raging headache and screaming tooth pain that usually accompanies such an experience, but the shaky, dizzying, reeling side is bang on.
I do object to seeing it when it's just for a sense of motion, more so in computer games, as the human head is generally quite good at perceiving its way around such challenges.
Exactly...human senses straighten things out. Seeing shakiness 40 feet high on a movie screen is just nauseating
Human senses can *sometimes* straighten things out.
Personally I don't bother with the big screen any more as I dislike paying insane prices to sit around unwashed, chatty people *beep* around on their phones, but certainly watching this on a home screen it didn't look overly shaky in the slightest. There was some, but it was tasteful and well-applied.
Meh, I've never seen things shaky like that, even while running flat out. The closest may be while riding a roller coaster, but even that looks smooth as glass to me compared to a shaky cam film.
about "shaky cam" in a scene with people running in & out of alleys with one dodging bullets fired by the other?
Likewise, how can you complain about "shaky cam" in a scene where a large explosion just disoriented everyone?
You're giving a bad name to complaining about about "shaky cam"
