bourne ultimatum

"If you could bottle the Bourne Ultimatum into a drink, it'd be illegal."

Two gripes with the Bourne Ultimatum:

  1. It seems ever since Traffic, everybody tries to be all nitty-gritty with their films by introducing the "shaky camera" scene. This is not so noticeable in fast action scenes, but when the scene is two guys talking, and the camera work features close-ups of the faces, PLEASE STOP THE CAMERA FROM SHAKING. It's really REALLY annoying.
  2. I have a bone to pick with the writers of that movie. They obviously stole the whole movie premise from this journal. I mean, the raw sex appeal of the protagonist (*ahem*), the badass fight scenes, the globe-trotting, the omniscience, the skills... HELLO, ARE WE DESCRIBING ROY KIM OR WHAT???????? Seriously, Hollywood writers. I don't mind so much if they still call it the Bourne Ultimatum ... I just think they should preface the movie with a "Based on true events from http://www.tabulas.com/~roy/" ...

Roffles, ok I'll stop. Seriously thought, awesome flick.

shaky camera means not as much attention to detail, which means a lot cheaper to film and get away with stuff..

anyway.. it kicked ass... and I like my line better.

yes, but not for scenes when it's two guys talking. i forget which scene it was, but it was pretty early in the film... it's incredibly noticeable. it's like they decided to shoot that scene and forgot to bring a tripod. it looks amateurish for dialogue scenes.
