Huh, I thought this couldn't be true, but it is. The first time I noticed annoyingly fast cuts was World War Z, for me it was unwatchable with tons of shots around 1 second each.

The first time I noticed how bad the fast cuts are we see in most movies was when I watched Children of Men by Alfonso Cuarón, who often uses very long takes for action scenes:

So sad they didn’t keep to the idea of the book. Anyone who hasn’t read this book you should, it bares no resemblance to the movie aside from the name.

It's offtopic, but this is very good advice. As near as I can tell, there aren't any real similarities between the book and the movie; they're two separate zombie stories with the same name, and honestly I would recommend them both for wildly different reasons.

I know two movies where the book is way better, Jurassic Park and Fight Club. I thought about putting spoilers in a comment to this one but i won't.

Loved the audiobook

Batman Begins was already in 2005 basically just a feature length trailer - all the pacing was completely cut out.

[epolanski]

Yes, Nolan improves on that in later movies but he used to abuse of it.

Another movie of him that crimes of this non stop is The Prestige.

Yeah, the average may also be getting driven (e: down) by the basketball scene in Catwoman

[watches scene] I think you mean the average shot length is driven down.
