Then again, I think I might enjoy the Bourne movies because I respect highly some other work (Bloody Sunday, United 93) by the director, Paul Greengrass.
About the shakiness of the camera in the action scenes: Again, I haven't seen the movie, but I'm sure Greengrass delivers. Although, on the big screen things tend to blurr too much with too much herky-jerky camera movement.
Concerning the quarrel in this thread between !@#$%! and luxinterior, my comments follow.
Judgement is never all that pretty, but, let's face it, it's a fact of life and in this case, it's not like the life or death of an indivisual is being argued; it's just a movie.
Pre-judgement is even more ugly for its prejudicial suppostion, but then again, in a case such as this it's not like people have an infinite amount of time to explore every media entertainment option. For that reason I feel that luxinterior's argument is a bit overwrought since it is such an obvious point to pick at and this same point gets picked at over and over again repeatedly.
It doesn't seem to me that !@#$%! stated anything that others haven't stated before about action movies in general.
Then again, luxinterior probably has a good point to make considering that, like she maintains, this isn't your ordinary action movie. Again, I haven't seen any of the Bourne movies (although, I tried to get into the first one one time when it was on HBO and never stuck with it), but I bet they are pretty good action movies.
At any rate, I'm glad to read with the bumps that you two patched up your differences on this tragicomical matter somewhat.
