   They do the same thing with the “Bourne” movies, and I’m sure others I can’t recall. Having a fight scene where the camera shakes and cuts every .2 seconds does NOT mean the fight was amazing, it means that I don’t know wtf is going on. Please leave it steady, or have a few cuts to get better vantage points as the fight moves around the room, I’m sorry if you can’t choreograph with any amount of skill. Same goes for Cloverfield, which I haven’t seen, because the trailers give me no idea what the movie is about, other than some form of Godzilla like massive monster movie, and I see no main characters, just people running around while shit goes downhill. The first trailer I saw did not even mention the title of the movie (great advertising) and seemed more like that scene in xXx when he has that massive party in his Ghostbusters lair. Then they go outside, and the Statue of Liberty’s head flies around. So, whats the plot? Fail.

   @schulzbrianr
   I agree with you about the constant pointless camera angle transitions that quite a few modern action movies seem to enjoy. It really doesn’t help the action all that much.

   However in Cloverfield I think it was a much more deliberate effect designed to keep the audience as unbalanced as the characters in the movie. I’m thinking they felt it would help the audience suspend thier disbelief if they made the audience feel as the disoriented as the characters…

   From what I hear, I’m guessing they succeeded… LOL
