I think the temptation to stretch fight scenes is amplified when a movie is a) in the 3D and b) a comic book movie.
When it's in 3D the temptation is to stretch it out to show off the 3D effects, when it's a comic book movie the temptation is to stretch it out so there are lots of shots that look like action panels out off the books.
I'm positive the action sequences my father and I liked least in the first Hobbit movie and in Star Trek Into Darkness were ones that were drawn out to show off the 3D effects. It was totally wasted on us because we didn't bother to see either movie in 3D. It gives us headaches even when the directors aren't including long show boating action sequences.
