No, because it's overused and is redundant most of the times (Batman v Superman comes to mind).

I don't necessarily like any effect in general but slow-mo definitely has its place. Lars von Trier is really good with it.

Can be misused, like any filmmaking tool, but generally, yes, and I'd even go so far as to say it's not used as often (and intelligently) as it should. Godard, Tarkovsky, Wong Kar Wai usually nail it.

Manipulation tactics are least effective when they're most obvious, and slow-mo is most obvious of them all. So generally no, but it can be used effectively by auteurs in isolation (LvT used it quite well in Antichrist).

It can be really effective when handled well, but it unfortunately isn't handled well all that often. For example, it worked in The Matrix because that film is centered on the ability to manipulate reality, so the manipulation of time employed by the Wachowskis makes total sense as a stylistic choice. Most action and big budget films that copy its handling of slow motion, though, just seem to randomly implement it whenever they want to look "cool."

I don't mind slow-motion, but it really shouldn't be overused.

Completely depends on how it's used and the context of the scene.

Yes great directors use it to great effect but now it is most often overused. Young filmmakers are abusing this technique and almost all Indian films use slow motion irrespective of the genre and context which is painful to watch

Why not. Like any trick it can be done tastefully.

I love it! I agree that LvT uses it perfectly. Another great example that comes to mind is in Silence. But Zack Snyder doesn't know how to use it. He thinks that if he constantly uses it, his film will be more cinematic and artistic?

Honestly don't mind it. So I'm kinda indifferent towards slo mo.

If it's done with purpose, sure, I can appreciate it. But its blatant overuse in many modern action films (largely due to the success of The Matrix and Snyder's films) is irritating to say the least.

Depends on the film. Some movies use it very well.

It all depends on how it's used. It can have a great dramatic effect or it can feel pretty silly and cheap. I can say that I'm not a fan of a particular use of it in action sequences: I really don't like when the footage slows down for some 'kewl' factor and then speeds up again. "The Matrix" got away with it but I'm not a fan of how most other movies do it.

It's all dependant on when and how it's used, right? How can you answer such a question in an entirely general way? Mel Gibson is one guy who tends to get particularly carried away with it. He overused it to almost laughable effect in the cross carrying part of The Passion.
