Why do giant things in movies move in slow motion?

Is that realistic? Do ants see us like that?

Giant thing has more volume and mass, so they are moving further and faster than normal sized thing on ground. Even if it “looks” slo mo. The jarring part is that we are not used to seeing weird things of that size moving so fast.

Imagine how fast the moon “moves” in the sky if you had to watch it. It’s pretty slow right. Imagine if it was visibly bigger, but moving the same speed. It is covering more distance despite not changing speed.

Forgive me if my physics and terminology is wrong that is just how I fathom it.

Evangelion and Attack on Titan give us giants that move much faster and it is horrifying, but their bodies were apparantly much lighter in proportion and they were much stronger.
