Why Action Scenes Have Become So Boring

"But here’s the harsh truth: Most Hollywood franchises aren’t just bad; their action scenes are boring. (...) While that stuff looks amazing in a trailer, there’s a reason most trailers only last a minute or two: the action itself is an assault on the viewers’ senses. Spatial orientation has became a rarity, and pacing only comes in the form of cutaways to exposition that reminds the viewer of the context/plot — basically, that there are living, breathing humans somewhere in this mechanical ballet."
