Now if the movie comes out and it's got a lot more steady cam than what has been seen in the trailers (which is zero so far) I will happy.

Anyone else tired of the chaotic camera views in movies as of late?

I think its effective at times. In Children of Men when they are running from the camp and go into the building......that single continuous shot follwing them the whole time is epic, imo.

But using it as a novelty as in cloverfield may get annoying for a full 2 hours, i agree.
