The motion at 24 fps with a 180 degree shutter should be the same, more or less, with a film camera and a digital camera. There are subtle differences at the most.
But I think part of the problem comes from how we view 24P material. When shooting on film, we generally only saw a flickery video tap image, and then a transfer to interlaced-sacn video with a pulldown (for 60 Hz countries) and then later projected in a print with a dual-bladed projector.
Now we are seeing 24P "live" off of cameras onto monitors that handle it in various ways, usually increasing the refresh rate to 48 Hz and higher, or in EVF's that may have a certain lag to them, etc. so the 24P look is bound to feel different until we get the footage into the same distribution and display environments that we are used to seeing film in.
24 fps is inherently strobey due to the low sampling rate, and it's a problem whether you are shooting film or digital.
