My impression of the new movie

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2004)

Agreeing with a reviewer of the new Bourne movie, I think Doug Liman should have discouraged the new director from using the hand-held camera so much during the filming of the first half of the movie. Instead of infusing "energy" into the scenes, it just looked choppy and confusing. I have a sensitivity to watching jerky motion; for example, I can't watch the beginning of Private Ryan because it makes me feel sick. (Luckily, for me, the jerky motion wasn't used beyond the beginning sequence in Private Ryan.)
While I understand the theory behind using the hand-held camera, it almost ruined the movie for me. However, with that said...the camera work in the car chase was masterful. Although the reviewer thought that this would be the last movie, I don't agree. The character is very powerful and the ending makes me think there might be at least one more...
