Action was TOO frantic!

I really enjoyed Rec 1, the action was captured well (mostly) but Rec 2 was just downright confusing half the time, with the camera going all over the place with frantic struggles and noises.
I know they're going for the realistic approach because in that situation I'm sure it'd probably be like that, but for the sake of enjoyment, they could have compromised the realism a little to capture the action with more focus.

Overall I still enjoyed the movie, and the story, but felt the action wasn't up to par with other found-footage action seen elsewhere.

[Rec]1 is the best, and imo better than Quarantine (the American remake). I agree it became too hard to see things many times.

Is it more realistic to have things darker? Sure. But these found footage movies are already violating reality anyways, because we have a camera man who refuses to drop a camera to help his fellow man clawing for his life.
