I don't think you're bored with fight scenes because of the execution of the fight scenes, wires or not, it's because most of the time they don't have any emotional resonance or meaning to the movie. Most of the time it's just spectacle/filler.
Good fight scenes should have high stakes, or have you invested in who wins or loses for some reason, not just munching popcorn and appreciating a cool kick or whatever.
It's why the subway fight in The Matrix is so good. We know the stakes. We know both characters. We are invested in Neo's character and journey and want him to win. We know how dangerous the agents have been built up to be. There is a real element of danger, and real exhilaration whenever it seems like Neo is winning. Compare that to the fights in the Fast and the Furious movies, which are completely empty and soulless.
It's the same with sex scenes. If they don't actually serve the story or characters, it's just soft porn, and not the reason I watch a movie. Typically.
