I reassure you it's not your age.
It's mostly the result of bad design, too many pieces you can't make where a robot ends and the other begins when they fight, plus bad fast editing.
It's sad because Bay do have some good composition skills, but he confuses intensity with speed.
As for the scripts well it clear that Bay don't give a rat's ass about them he just want to blow shit up.
I like watching Bay movies because of their epic proportions when it comes to action and because of some show off money shots.
If i want something that is more carefully crafted as an action movie i'll go watch Cameron, Verhoeven, Mactiernan, etc...
Bay is the junk food of action cinema.
But i prefer him to the hack duo, Favreau and Ratner.
