I didn't like it then and I still haven't seen it applied well, even sparingly, to my eye. In fact, it was used in the last film I saw, Terminator Salvation. It went from new trend to cliche at the same moment for me. Oh, look, the character is dazed from a fight! Or in a drug-induced hallucinogenic state! Strap a camera to his head to make the audience "feel" it! My apologies for ranting. I had no idea how strongly I felt about this. Hah.
