Good Move, Horrible Camera Work

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2004)

I agree with most of the comments about the bad camera work. The fight scene between the last 2 agents of Treadstone was very disappointing because of the camera work. I know the idea was to try and put the viewer in the fight, but, in my opinion, it took any interest in watching the fight away. I didn't go to the movie to fight the agent myself. I went there to watch Bourne kick his butt. Contrast the first time you see Bourne fight in the first movie. The camera angle was far enough away you could see the quickness and ease with which he dispatched the 2 police officers. Instead of the same experience with this fight scene, the camera angle is in tight and is moving around so much, it's hard to tell who landed what punch when.
I'm looking forward to "The Watchmen" but I hope the director doesn't try the same camera work.
