Poor camera work

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2005)

While I found the plot and story line to be very well written, the camera work was terrible. Very rapid, jerky panning and over use of zoom lenses during the action scenes. I know that Hollywood must be attempting to cut costs however; they should revert to using equipment that utilizes "steady cam" technology. The scenes mentioned are so jerky that it made watching the movie almost nauseating.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why the practice of showing non-supported video that appears to be taking by a 5 year old (which seemed to be initiated on NYPD Blue), has continued. If you want to watch a movie that may possibly make you nauseous or at the least, give you a headache due to the camera sequences mentioned above, then by all means, this is your movie. For myself, I am sorry that I spent my movie viewing dollars on this film. The original movie, Bourne Identity, was far better.
Attention Hollywood directors, please consider using supported cameras again. Handholding cameras on multimillion-dollar films is ridiculous.
