There are some animations which aren't so realistic. When YOU make the lance attack anim in real life,you can feel it,then get a broom and take it on your hand... you will really feel it,after that put some more weight on your arm and... you will feel pain while holding the broom in position.
For the others,the anim which Adorno said about,its kinda stupid [No offence] but it feels odd that you actually can make your opponent flying with one handed weapon and STR in 7 no doubt he would fly with a warhammer,but one-handed sword?
But in the other side,M&B looks much faster with these anims,and in som places,it's fun to toss someone flying (think about Mountain Bandits) and its real fun to charge with a horse,now they'll really fly away....
EDIT: I got away from arena because i flew through the wall
