Shaking the Camera in Action Scenes, wtf?
15 September 2007
I love fight scenes in films, Once Upon a Time in China, Dragon (Bruce Lee Story), Kill Bill, Conan, the list goes on... It takes time and effort to write, choreograph and perform a fight scene, so why oh why does the camera have to be zoomed in and shake so violently that you can't even see who is hitting who?

The only logical sense out of shaking the camera during a fight scene, is to get the audience excited. It doesn't work, I was getting dizzy trying to see what was going on. I first really took notice of this artistic blunder during a car chase scene in Bourne Supremacy.

Overall , not a bad movie to watch on a lazy Sunday morning during breakfast.
