Like antman in civil war, from our point of view he looks like he’s moving slowly.
So from his view do smaller people look like they are moving faster?

Edit: and is this only in films or would this be true to life?

When we walk forward, we are actually falling over forwards, only to stop ourselves with a foot.

Gravity is the same value even at the larger scales, and so their limbs would fall at the same rate, but since they are so big there is much more distance for the limbs to travel before they hit the ground.

With regards to the booming voice, their vocal chords and mouths now have lower resonant frequencies. It’s totally legit that they might speak louder and deeper.
