Why are so many people against the hand-held camera?

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2004)

Well.. I normally just lurk around here, but after reading all the current reviews about the hand-held camera segments, I felt compelled to write a review.
Maybe it's my photographic background and/or because I enjoy watching unusual films but I really enjoyed the hand-held camera segments. It made the action feel more realistic and helped to involve me more in the action sequences. I didn't get motion sickness, disorientated, and if I was confused about what exactly was taking place at any given moment, I certainly wasn't perturbed. Why should I understand every moment of a film that is based around suspense and Jason Bourne's unique character? I'm more interested in the feeling I get from the film than seeing every punch land.
Maybe this action just isn't really suitable for the mainstream audience yet (or ever)?
8.5/10
