Fight scenes definitely took the brunt of this. First it was shaky-cam, then it was 100 jump cuts. Older action movies didn't suffer from this. I suspect it's much more time consuming and difficult (aka, expensive) to film real fight scenes. Despite the gargantuan budgets of modern films, very little seems to be left for actual acting and set design.

The infamous "36 jump cuts to hop a fence" scene from Taken...3(?) is so wild as to be parody, but its real. Just wild to me that it would make the cut.

    Maybe its a new version of "Sneaking the Wilhelm scream into everything", or the rumored "Make the stupidest TV hacking scene possible" contest that is supposed to have lead to the NCIS 'double keyboard jockey' scene.
