i have a story about that..
wayyyy back in college..i had a particular psychology course..and we studied various things (mind fucks).
One happened to be a scene in the first Michael Keaton Batman movie.
We totally dissected a fight scene. I, for the first time consciously understood the "cut scene" and how it was used...and it ..WRECKED MY VIEWING EXPERIENCES FOR YEARS TO COME!!!..Not to say they are all bad..
but the overuse of those fast and furious (not to be confused with the movie ;o) cut scenes are the WORST EFFING THING EVER.
talk about a way to FAKE action...smh.
So i totally get what you mean.
I remember SPECIFIC times where this was horrible.
That piece O' crap Affleck Daredevil movie..i believe it was the first fight scene..it was dark ..AND full of high speed cuts scenes. I wanted to shoot the director/editor.

This is what made some of the Netflix Daredevil Season 1 (wow..2 uses of Daredevil) fight scenes so great\refreshing..THERE WERE ALMOST NO CUTS. Also I've seen a few really good Kung-Fu flicks that use longs shots and constant action as opposed to 8 baziillion fast cuts SIMULATING action. I hate it.

i absolutely thought this while watching a few of the TF movies and came to appreciate when they did a "simulated" slow motion shot.
