What's your opinion of slow-mo in action movies?

Effective in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

 

Really lame, it was cool at first but it's been so overdone.

 

I heard Sharon Stone holds record for most paused scene. if that counts?

 

Like most filmmaking techniques, it can be a great way to enhance a scene in the hands of a competent filmmaker, or it can be an overused distraction when employed by a less than competent filmmaker.

Slo-mo isn't inherently good or bad. It boils down to whether or not the person using it knows what they're doing.

 

Can't stand it personally

 

I always thought they track everything we do online whether streaming a movie or watching porn, something is watching you!

We ALL know that scene....

 

Well its great if you need to go use the bathroom or open another beer but other then that its annoying

 

I think its bloody stupid!!

 

it depends on the movie..

looked great in MATRIX
but I'd likely fall asleep if F1, JURASSIC PARK, TROY or APOLLO 13 were slo-mo
