The rocket looks like it’s going slow because it is actually going slow. The initial thrust to weight ratio is low, resulting to only 0.2-0.5g. Only at higher altitudes when the weight drops, accelerations of max 3-4g are achieved. That’s for the obvious reason of not crushing equipment and the astronauts. Also, rockets move in 3d space, a lot of the speed is also horizontal. Comparing a full speed, close up object, moving horizontally, to a rocket taking off is child level logic.
