What were they thinking. - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Good story, terrible camera work. Could notfocus on anything since the camera was moving constantly. Too bad, it could'have been good.

Bring dramamine and a barf bag - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

The story and acting was good, but I just can't give a good grade to a movie that both my wife and I got literally sick from watching. The camera work made this otherwise very good movie into a travesty. About 1/2 way through I noticed that I was feeling nauseous - but I didn't know why until my wife leaned over and said "the way the camera is moving is making me sick." I realized then why I was also sick. My wife had to leave 3/4 of the way through and was ill for the rest of the evening. I am not prone to motion sickness - I am fine on the ocean, on long trips, etc., but this movie did it for me. If you are prone to motion sickness and insist on still seeing this movie, you better take dramamine, and be prepared to leave early or leave ill. I will never watch another movie by this director again, no matter what the movie is, unless he swears off this visual idiocy.

Amateur looking camera work destroys illusion - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

I couldn't get lost in this movie with all the hand-held amateur camera work. With the camera bobbing up and down you know it is a bunch of actors being followed by a camera...liked the story and acting but found both the hand held camera scenes and the constant repetitive flashbacks just wasted film. I think the one water scene used in Jason's early training was repeated 9 or 10 times...okay Mr. Director I get the picture now move the story on..and I understand blurring all these scenes to make it seem like a distant memory but come on you are trying to be a little to creative...I felt like I was watching film work by some beginning high school film class...not what I expected

Ulitmately unwatchable! - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Here's a perfect example of a perfectly good movie destroyed by someone who can't hold a camera still for 2 seconds! It's like trying to watch a movie on an airplane during constant turbulence. When will this excuse for a visual style go away? Sad. Just sad. This plot and actors deserved better.

What a spythriller should be!!! - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

All you crybabies whining about shaky cameras-- get over it! The gut wrenching chase scenes and the heart stopping fight sequences are enhanced by this special effect. We finally have the final piece of the puzzle and this last film ties them all together. Jason is one baadd asss and slicker than snot on a doorknob. The movie is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. That's what a movie should do-and this one delivers!!!

Someone should pay dearly for making this pile. - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

The worst job of directing I can remember. Half of the movie is extreme closeups of lifeless faces. They could have held up 8X10 glossies of the actors and gotten the same results, perhaps better. The other half consists of blurry, unwatchable action scenes that substitute frenzy for logic (in the first half of the final chase through New York streets, the streets are snowy and the cars filthy. In the second part, streets are clear and the same cars clean.) A woman behind me was holding her hands over her eyes during these pointless blurs, making the smartest person in the theater. The plot is silly. Boring, robotic performances are carefully coaxed from good actors. I want my money back, at least minimum wage for time wasted, and several million for emotional distress.

Sit in the back of the theater and take dramamine! - The Bourne Ultimatum Reviews

Please read this review and save your lunch. Loved the first 2, what happened here. The short end of it is; WAIT FOR THE DVD. Worth seeing but you will probably get sick with the shakkkkkkeeeee camera work. Even calm talking parts are so shaky that you need to stair off to the side to catch you bearings. The fight scene and the car scene are so shaky you have no idea what is going on while they are happening. The director saved a lot of money in production! He used no CGI and couldn't afford a steady cam.
