Movie Review for the Bourne Supremacy
I saw the Bourne Supremacy Friday afternoon. My main impression was that it had way too much shaky-cam. The camera work was awful. It was like watching the Blair Witch Project, only worse (I actually enjoyed the Blair Witch Project) . It was like most of it was filmed using a hand-held video camera with the motion control circuitry turned off. I had to look away from the screen several times because it was making me feel sick. Several shaky-cam techniques were aptly demonstrated by the camera man. There was the no-motion-control stair descent. There was the over-the-shoulder follow the guys focal point shot. There was the first-person look through their eyes shot (only the person must have had eye ticks, and tremors). There was the fight scene where you couldn't tell who was hitting who. There was a very long car chase where you couldn't tell who was shooting at who. There was the time when the camera operator evidently had an epileptic episode (I can joke because I'm an epileptic). Anyway, I think you get the point. I talked to several people who agree with me. We think maybe the film will work on the small screen when the shaking doesn't fill your entire field of view. In summary, wait to see it on HBO.
