A shaky camera is a cheap and lousy substitute for a talented cinematographer and slick editor. There are scenes that warrant shaky camera work, such as during perspective shots in an off-road motor cycle chase, but that doesn’t justify using that technique everywhere else.
I don’t get the shaky camera criticisms, for all three movies. I usually am really sensitive to that, but it didn’t bother me at all with these films.
According to Wikipedia, the stories are completely different than the books. Basically, it’s a vaguely similar main character, but everything else is changed. So can you really compare them?
Not that I plan on reading the books. I can’t stand Robert Ludlum.
shakey cam movie. the director should be shot.
Shakey cam is annoying.
This film is not in its entirety annoying.
Nor is this series.
Many people tell me it doesn’t shine next to the books.
But then I have to quote someone who said, “books take to long to read”
@...storminator:
I agree. the director needs to learn how to do an action movie without a cut every 2 seconds
Awesome movie! What a rush! Ride an off road motorcycle, than you will understand shaky cam.
I don’t think that the movie would have the same impact w/out the shaky camera.. but I do agree, the books are way better than the movie

@...sylvanish: I’d call the shot where he jumps into the room from the roof talented camera work.
