Here's the problem, you're lumping defying the laws of physics and extending a fight into the same category. Sure, when two professionals duke it out it may only last a matter of seconds, but what does that have to do with flying? I didn't say I expect 100% realistic combat, I said watching combatants fly around magically is akin to having FAKE plastered across the screen every 30 seconds. It's not the same thing, and the argument that I'm just a typical American that wants 'combat' is a lame and lackluster defense (indicating that you may not really have one). If it's part of their culture then fine, I'm not crying fowl, just saying that I prefer their movies when they don't use that particular style.
