Shaky Cam Ruined It

The fight scenes were headache inducing shaky cam garbage. You could barely see what was happening. It was chaos. Why do they do this? Do people like this?

That was the first thing I said to my GF after the credits rolled.

Why the fuck do they do this? Shaky cam in universally hated thing, what kind of lunatic could like watching that? Shaky cam is shit and it ruined the movie for me.

Thank you for this warning. After looking at your post, I went to IMDB and have seen others comment on the shaky-cam. I don't do that shit at all. Moving on.......

Interesting. I hate shaky cam as well but in this movie I didn’t even notice it. Am I getting used to it maybe?

I noticed it but it wasn't that bothersome. They still had some decent choreography you could see and understand... even with the shake cam.

It fitted the place and story, imo.

I've seen way worse. I didn't think anything of it to be honest, and I hate shaky cam. The cinematography was excellent in fact.

Had moments when it fit the movie.but still super annoying…

I think this started with the Bourne movies and then caught on. I think the cinematographers feel it makes the fights more real and intense but it just makes you not know what is going on.

I hate that crap.

Paul Greengrass is the worst at it.

His Bourne films are impossible to watch.
