Ali (2001)

Shakycam lovers will like it...

[1/10 · 31 December 2023]

Just ten minutes is all I lasted before I got a freaking Headache trying to keep my eyes on the screen. Far too much camera shake, no need for it so not for me nothing else to say...

Fire with Fire (II) (2012)

It was going well until...

The Last Days on Mars (2013)

It started off well ...

[3/10 · 18 March 2022]

It started off well, Good cinematography, no shaky cam or anything like it. Until the first Zombie appeared then the camera moves went to hell and you couldn't see the action because the damn camera was shaking around all over the place and so I lost interest in the film. Not sure why they would send hotheads into space though...

Angel Has Fallen (2019)

Bad cinematography...

[2/10 · 16 February 2022]

I suppose if you like lots of wobbly out of focus shakycam shots jerking the camera around all over the place then this is for you, as for me I just get annoyed with the relentless camera shake. Perhaps the director thinks this is trendy, I don't!...

Don't Look Up (2021)

Shaky cam strikes again...

[1/10 · 29 December 2021]

Don't Look Up.... LOL I managed about five minutes and Every time I looked up the damn camera was shaking around all over the place giving me a headache. Shaky cam strikes again...

War of the Worlds (2005)

Not as good as the original.

[6/10 · 2 October 2021]

Not as good as the original mainly because the original was nicely filmed way before the cancerous shakycam trend started. That's right, the damned camera just loves to shake around all over the place when ever there is any action to try and watch...

Sleepers (1996)

A bit of a slow start...

[2/10 · 8 May 2021]

So it picked up a bit and was starting to look interesting until the shakycam started during the football match... gave me a damn headache trying to watch it.

Gangs of London (2020– )

It started out all right until...

[4/10 · 28 April 2021]

It started out all right until the damn camera started shaking around all over the place during the first fight, then it progressively got worse throughout the programme. A bit annoying having to look away to avoid getting a blooming headache and not being able to comfortably see the action. Obviously someone thinks it's clever to shoot some scenes with a wobbly camera. I don't!

The Answer (III) (2015)

Too much wobbly cam for me...

[1/10 · 7 February 2021]

Pretty bad camera shake from the start giving me a damn headache trying to watch it. Then 15 minutes in whilst fleeing from the bad guys, Bridd looks in through a window and sees his friend dead on the floor along with his attackers next to him, so what does Bridd do, he bangs the window... LOL Not for me, too much wobbly camera shake.

Stranded (V) (2013)

Shakycam strikes again... Even on the moon LOL

[1/10 · 7 February 2021]

I thought there was no atmosphere on the moon, sound does not travel in a vacuum so how can the incoming asteroids or meteoroids miss identified as meteors (meteors only occur in an atmosphere) make a noise when they impact? And then there's the camera shaking around all over the place so I can't see what's going on either, may as well give up at the start if I were you. LOL A BIG thumbs down from me...

Wuthering Heights (2009)

The first few seconds put me off the whole movie.

[1/10 · 5 February 2021]

The wife wanted to watch a nice movie with me one evening but of course I dislike it when the camera shakes around all over the place... Too much SHAKYCAM! Why does the camera have to jerk around all over the place eh? Not for me unless you want a damn head ache trying to watch it that is.

The Island (2005)

The makings of a reasonable film spoiled by...

[5/10 · 2 January 2021]

The makings of a reasonable film spoiled by the dreaded shakycam, AGAIN. When ever there is any action or close up dialogue the damn camera just has to either shake around all over the place or just "twitch" annoyingly...

The Transporter Refueled (2015)

Too much camera shake spoiling the action...

[6/10 · 14 December 2020]

Shakycam strikes again, how on earth are you supposed to see the action if the damn camera doesn't stay still long enough to see what's going on. Putts.

Pearl Harbor (2001)

I would have liked to give this a ten star rating but...

[3/10 · 13 December 2020]

Too much of this wobbly shakycam stuff spoiling the action shots so you end up not being able to see the image clearly, damned annoying... Just seen it again and The camera is still shaking...

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

Well I tried to watch this...

[2/10 · 5 December 2020]

Well I tried to watch this... I just got annoyed with the wobbly camera constantly shaking and jerking around all over the place giving me a damn headache trying to watch it.

First Man (2018)

I got dizzy during the first ten minutes...

[1/10 · 15 November 2020]

Just another shakycam movie, nothing to see here unless you want a damn headache trying to watch it...

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

I enjoyed this overall and would have given it a ten star rating but for...

[9/10 · 15 November 2020]

Definitely worth a watch. I enjoyed this overall and would have given it a ten star rating but for when the stupid shaky cam started. Imagine the whole series having beautiful cinematography then BAM! the camera starts shaking around all over the place. Kind of spoiled it for me having to look away to avoid feeling dizzy. Note to director: Please don't shake the damn camera, no need for it!

North by Northwest (1959)

The crop dusting scene was a bit unrealistic...

[8/10 · 12 November 2020]

I think if I was being chased by a plane I would not try to run away from it, but face it and run sideways at the last moment or stand next to a telegraph pole perhaps...

Fall of Hyperion (2008 TV Movie)

If you look past the bad acting...

[3/10 · 25 October 2020]

It was going well until the dreadful shakycam started. A few factual errors too, for example there are no meteors in space so how could a space station be hit by one? LOL (Meteors only occur in the atmosphere)

Godzilla (2014)

Lights on inside of helmets LOL

[1/10 · 29 August 2020]

Watching the first five minutes shows actors walking in a dark cave wearing helmets with visors and lights on inside the helmets. LOL If this was real then wearing a visor helmet in a dark cave would just dazzle you and you would not have any night vision. These are "Hollywood Helmets" so we the viewers can see the actors' faces. Completely false and an insult to my intelligence... And then the damn camera starts to shake around all over the place too. NUTS...

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (2008 Video)

Too much shakycam to see what's going on

[1/10 · 26 August 2020]

Dreadful camera moves. Every time there is any action the damn camera shakes around all over the place so you can't see the action. I gave it twenty minutes then I got a headache trying to watch all this shtuff... Not for me...

Chernobyl (2019)

shakycam, Again...

[1/10 · 7 August 2020]

I tried to watch this but it gets annoying when the camera is constantly twitching and jerking around all over the place. Not for me. If the director doesn't want to direct a smooth moving picture then I don't want to watch it.

Braven (2018)

Shakycam again...

[1/10 · 24 July 2020]

Opening titles were magnificent, started to look like this film would have excellent cinematography, then the wobbly camera started to shake around all over the place so I lost interest. Why must the director insist on crappy wobbly hand held camera moves all the time? Not for me...

Band of Brothers (2001)

Usual shaky cam rubbish...

[1/10 · 18 July 2020]

So you are trying to watch a war film with bullets and explosions going off and the wobbly hand held camera just keeps shaking around all over the place giving you a damn headache trying to watch the action... No thank you, not for me.

Volcano (1997)

Almost believable until...

[3/10 · 18 July 2020]

Almost believable until when Roark and Barnes are in the dark sewers wearing chemical suits with lights on inside their visors (so we can see them) effectively blinding themselves so they would find it hard to see where they were going LOL Only in Hollywood... And then the wobbly /shaky cam started...
