Recently, I've been mindful of how long fights are in movies.
Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don't think that's how a real sword fight would look.
Fights where it's mostly talking. Talking and talking. Nobody would fight like that.
Fist fights without a smack and dead. It's fancy movement - only because of the shaky camera and cuts of course. Give me back Jackie Chan or smack them once and they fall over.
I also dislike noticing the wire-guided movements. Fast acceleration and you can see them balancing in the air lifted by wires. Wires removed after-the-fact, but it's such unnatural movement.
And of course, the classic gunfight where nobody hits anything.
Or any monster chase or fight. If a giant monster chases you it's faster and instant-kills you. But not in movies.
It's certainly prevalent.
I kinda disagree. If you watch the duellist, which in my opinion is the vest description of a realistic sword fight, you van see that they are super nervous. No one wats to really die, so they drag it out. It's not a video game where you respawn so you just try to get a good hit and hope for the best.
A passive, careful engagement is very different from crossing swords with heavy hits and swords sliding along each other or blocking.
