I have noticed a big differnce from movies shot in the past and newer movies. For one most movies today seem to be shot more like the Born Idenity with a shaky camera and close ups like TV show 24 does a lot. I actually don't like how they do that. I don't like the close up shots all the time during action movies. It just seems uncomfortable close to me. I really hate shaky cameras during action sequences. The walking along camera instead of a dolly comes to mind. Walking along shaking camera versus a nice smooth dolly or a good steady cam. No comparison.
Next I miss the long shots like in Leathal Weapon. I think that and Die Hard 3 With A Vengences were shot nicely. But I did not like how Die Hard Live Free or Die Hard was shot similar to 24. I miss the helicopter and large crane shots that were in the older action movies. I guess budget may be one of the reason the new movies are lacking the shots that the old movies have. Or maybe they are just trying to make them look more modern. I prefer the old ways.
Also, I prefer real stunts and stuntman versus CGI. For instance look at the differneces between Fast and Furious and the Fast and Furious 2. The first was much better because they used real cars and little CGI.
