Superhero action gets boring. In fact most action gets boring. I love action movies, but I don't need a movie that's wall to wall with action because it becomes meaningless and the audience gets desensitized.
Transformers 2 (which I hate) is nothing but action. The first Iron Man didn't have much action either. I don't really care for too much of it. I'd rather there be 2 or 3 big action sequences and the rest of the story and dialogue be entertaining.
This is really what I've always liked, whether it be Star Wars or The Dark Knight, or Terminator 2, etc.
