No mo’ slo-mo

9:39 am Movies

I’ve come to the realization lately that movies really need to stop using slow motion and bullet time. We all know that The Matrix shot the popularity of that stuff into the stratosphere, and its sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, made it ten times worse. Since then, slow motion and bullet time have been stuffed into films whenever possible, and it’s distracting at best, annoying at worst. Cut it out. If an action sequence looks cool, you don’t need to slow it down so we can see every damn shard of broken glass!
