I think you could consider the TNT miniseries "Into the West" an epic--and I thought it was pretty good.
But yeah, I think the problem is more just a general disability to make good movies, not just epics. That and an overreliance on computer technology. It has its places--witness the massive fights in LOTR--but is all too often used where it has no place, just to take your attention away from the fact that the rest of the movie sucks.
