It's fan rating at IMDB is sinking faster than Natalie Wood and is down to 5.9 at the moment. Crap movie trying to still push the old Blair Witch/Cloverfield shaky cam garbage.

I'm really tired of the hand-held camera thing. It was cool at first and may serve some purpose every now and then. But the minute I sit down and see that it's going to be handheld or security footage, I'm immediately annoyed.

I pay good money to see a movie and the least I can get is good solid camera work.

It'd done weirdly here, where it's handheld but the person holding it isn't acknowledged as being there (I guess he's invisible) plus there are a few moments where the camera is locked off during the jump scenes (I assume to get a bigger reaction for the money shots).

I here ya. But just like the paranormal activity films they make a boat load of money and are
cheap to make. Sadly they are here to stay :roll:

So I guess that's a nay eh 8)
I thought about seeing this or mib 3 yesterday. But I just ended up staying in and watching
jurassic park 2 for the 40 millionth time. Yes I have no life.

Not really into the super hero movies except spidey & batman.
My dad is a DIE HARD superman fan though. He got to shake christopher reeve's hand once.
Though i'm not sure if that's true or not 8)
