Gravity would shred everything way before you noticed any cool time dilation effects. If somehow you became invincible, you still wouldn't see a fast forward movie of the universe, the light falling into the black hole also experiences distortions and becomes so blueshifted that you could not "see" anything. Outside observers also could not see you or anything else slow down on approaching the event horizon. Any light emitted from an infalling object becomes so redshifted, the ability to observe an infalling object fades away extremely quickly and is not infinite.

Doesn't that depend on the size of the black hole? I think the event horizon grows faster than the radius (forgot the name) at which objects would be ripped apart from gravity. So you'd be relatively safe falling into a supermassive black hole. As long as nothing else is orbiting it.
