As the title says, why in movies and TV shows giant organisms are always shown as if they move in slow motion?

Larger objects are relatively weak due to the square-cube law (see the other comments here); this means they can’t step as fast. They do have longer legs so overall they tend to move faster. Over a fairly wide range speed scales with roughly the square root of size but there’s a limit. Above a certain size fragility is a problem and speed actually decreases.

Gravity effects body masses accordingly. An animal who is heavier and bigger has more gravitational pull on them. Compare how a mouse moves and an elephant
