Danger i don't like it

yes, i know corfu and yes, i got some thousand hours on the 737
watched it three times
don't like it
cavok, no one killed, nothing damaged? poor excuse.
audio redone? -nah, still can hear the trim wheel and the general flying noise
redone for extra exictement? - nah, there are more spectacular gpws-callouts available.
company SOPs? most likely busted. established below 500' (our OLD gate, now 1000)
futhermore coming in flat/shallow the last 200 feet (the "picture" is wrong)
and the 50-40-30-20-10 calls *seem* to come faster than they should, indicating to a high sink rate
also
the "camera nod" on touchdown more than usual in landing vids
and
check out the time counter: wings level at 12 seconds, crossing thres at roughly 23 seconds -> 11 seconds @(usually) 800-900ft/min = 155'


no objections if it had been a 172....
