Prolonged action scenes? Oh, fiiiine, I guess.

If they weren't as childish and cartoony as the ones in the Hobbit movie, I'd agree. But they are some of the worst action scenes I've ever seen. The action is so cartoony and non-committal to the idea of there being any danger to characters means that it's really just a 5-10 minute roadrunner skit inserted into what is positioning itself to be part of a serious film franchise, with significant history of its world and depth of character. You could drop a 10 tonne anvil on one of the character and have them get up and be fine and that'd be in line with the tone these awful scenes are striking. The barrel scene in part 2 is much the same and don't even get me fucking started on the Mario jumping in part 3.
