In fact, let's talk about slow motion. When did it start to become passe? The Matrix? 300? Legend of the Guardians? It seems the only way to make slow motion work well is to put the camera in weird locations or do interesting things with it. Like when Spider-Man slows time for the first time and you hear the flapping of a fly's wing, or in Wanted when you watch a bullet curve. Or in X-Men First Class where Magneto sent the bullet through Sebastian Shaw's head, while Xavier was forced to endure the same pain (he couldn't end the connection or Magneto would die.
