I'm interested in hearing more about your thoughts RE how they shoot the action scenes versus the family.
The action shots have steadily moved more and more to that hyper-fast, tight focus with a few slow-frames in that shots. It's a rapid-fire, hit you in the face kind of shooting, and it works great to keep the tempo up.
But then, when they fall back to the interpersonal scenes, it's pulled into a real-time kind of shooting, with long looks and slow dialogue, sometimes with heavy silences. It's a sharp contrast for me, and a bit different from the first couple of movies where the interpersonal stuff was ... happening as the plot and action did? If that makes sense. It's like the directors have realized the strength of the franchise is the family, so they linger on it, but they keep the actions ramped up to a high notch to hold the male audience better?
I'm probably not making much sense. I have a hard time with words, but there is a strong contrast between the first three movies and the later four on how they choose to showcase the family.
