The biggest problem with modern action movies is that instead of heroes, they have humanoid kaiju. This is most obvious in Man of Steel, but it's increasingly an industry-wide issue.
As with most problems with modern movies, much of the blame lies with Michael Bay's Transformers movies.
That certainly explains some of the problems with the last Die Hard movie.
