Shaky Cam overkill

This is a very good article with which I agree 100%

I have to agree with it as well. I watch a movie not because it is supposedly 'real' or whatever. I watch it because I either: A) Want to. B) Saw previews and thought it would be something good to watch. or C) As something to do with friends. I don't really care if they are trying to make it as "real" as possible. If I wanted to see a shaky camera, give me a guy in the middle of a war zone that's freaking out. Oh and make it be live streaming from an actual war zone.

Yeah, cause unless it's done very well, it just distracts from acting, story and everything else, which usually implies that it was all crap and needed to be covered up

Too true. I bet some of the people were goofing off when Mr. Shaky Camera was off doing something else.
