Gone are the days where an epic 1v1 hand-to-hand fight would be filled with complex moves and intense choreography

Now it's like

*begins to throw punch*
*cuts to other guy about to get hit*
*other guy gets hit*
*cut to first guy finishing up his punch*

seriously

that's because nobody knows or wants to learn how to fight. so they have to resort to all these editing tricks to make a fight scene

Cuts and shaky cam are the new wave of fight scenes. It makes everything seem violent and chaotic.

So what if you get nauseated and you have no idea what's going on.

That's part of why the Netflix Daredevil series is so good. Most of the fights a single or just a couple continuous takes.

Other filsm should take note of John Wick. Thats how you film an action movie with none of the shaky cam bullshit and all other various jump cuts that erks me the wrong way. Its real hard to look at other action films that do that when I been so spoiled by John Wick.

This. Sadly, there's plenty of people who can fight but they're willing to risk an action movie without a big name they have to edit together 462 cuts of Liam Neeson hobbling around and attempting to look tough throwing a punch.

Actually, there's *still* an absurd amount of shitty chereography. We just have slow-mo and cuts to make the moves look "cooler"

In general, there's too much choreography during fight scenes which disrupts the illusion. Instead of seeing two characters fighting, it looks like a cooperative dance sequence. Same reason why I hate the luchador style of wrestling.

tbh, shaky cam after a hit is a pretty neat effect.

This (though I just watched it and I'm not a fan of how all the characters are shadows - too dark)

Right idea though

This is pretty much what I was referring to

That's why I was a little disappointed with The Foreigner. There was like one short little hand-to-hand scene with Jackie Chan and that was it.

Oh yeah no I absolutely love those, but I was (in pipe-dream fashion) hoping at least for a taste of his glory-days.

Strangely enough, just listened to part of a Bill Burr podcast knocking that movie.
