Camera angles/shooting style affect how much you like a movie?

[Batman1980]

I usually don't notice but it REALLY bothers me when a cameraman can't keep his gear steady and sucks at centering on subjects. However, unlike others, the jittery camera affect doesn't bother me as long as it's intentional and not accidental. What do the rest of you think?

i do hate this whole "shaky cam" shit hollywood has been obsessed with lately.. but it doesn't effect how much i like a film.. if it did then i would absolutely HATE the bourne series

Definitely. Shaky cam and quick cuts bug the hell out of me, particularly since they have become very obvious techniques when trying to keep an action movie PG-13 (essentially by a) making it difficult to see the action and b) changing the angle to avoid showing blood/gore). That's usually what I think about when I see those techniques employed these days. To say that it takes away from the viewing experience is an understatement.

It does affect my enjoyment of a movie. I cant stand the Bourne movies because of it.

The constant camera angle changes in excess killed QoS for me.

shaky cams are beyond annoying and give me headaches, quick cuts in movies like QoS are just as disturbing. As much as I love the new STAR TREK movie, I HATE the camera shaking at the most worst timings possible. I wish Blu-ray players had image stabilization built into them so I could watch the scene were Kirk first meets Pike, I mean it was seriously the most pointless shaking I have ever seen in a movie period. I can't even imagine what the cameraman is thinking when he is jerking the camera around and how does JJ even allow such a thing to be in the movie? STAR TREK does at least redeem itself with the rest of the movie but that is the worst scene in the movie period.
