Sorry – ‘american film’ thing might be more of an on target comment

And so is Tony Scott, btw. (Ridley’s brother)

So much for the “American thing”ness of the shaky cam. In fact, go back to lots of French New Wave of Godard for the origins of shakey cam. In other words, no, it’s not an American style point. MTV copied it from the French, Italian, British New Wave directors in the early/mid 60s. Though then it was done well, and for a reason. Now, it’s just to cover up lack of production value, usually, or to make a scene more edgy. Personally, I hate it. If you do too, keep sounding off, directors will hear you at the boxoffice.

The director is British, so it’s not ‘an American thing’.

LOL
seems to be an american thing to me…..??

in most movies involving a real martial artist, the story usually sucks but the fighting is pretty great – and you can SEE it.

seems like most american directors want to make it look kickass and end up covering for a lack of ability or training by the stars? The Matrix boys were the first guys to get smart, bring in a guy like Woo Ping and then TRAIN their stars and show the fighting. And Statham proved he could do just that in the first Transporter. (I am not mentioning the steaming LOAD that was movie #2….lol)

Then again, the shakey camera thing is such an irritant – Tony Scott is 50/50 for me – love movies like Crimson Tide and yet HATE some of his other stuff with the epileptic camera crappola….

I wasn’t referring to the way the fight scenes were shot, I was referring to the fighting style.

I agree that the shaken camera syndrome is a pain in the butt.

most realistic hand to hand fight scenes? are you kidding? I loved the movie and thought it was great

BUT – Greengrass does that insanely annoying WHIP-SHAKE the !#$ camera everytime he has a @!#$%^ fight scene. Damon has worked out and done the training – you can see it in the first movie obviously.

Back the camera up, stop shaking it, and SHOOT the damn FIGHT

One of the characters could have been humping a squirrel right in the middle of the fight and you wouldn’t have been able to tell….

This movie does not let the viewer down. It may not be as good as the original, but who cares! Highly recommended.

When this comes out as an uber-3-DVD set it will DEFINITELY be worth picking up.

I must say, I am going to see this A.S.A.P. I loved the first two and saw them both in the movies. So, why not complete the trilogy?

Without a doubt. While Die Hard 4 was popcorn fluff and the T-movie was ridiculous, this one was truly entertaining.
