That was exactly my problem with Avatar. It took out all sorts of great plot/character moments and left in a lot of VROOM VROOM BUDDOW. Now, I like me some VROOM VROOM BUDDOW, but I like to know WHY it's going on, and I like to care about the people doing it. My attention span is not so short that I will wander away if there isn't constant yelling and exploding.
I am firmly convinced that Daniel Craig took all his cues for how to act in Cowboys & Aliens from the Silent Video Game Protagonist. Which is a really nice character to have in video games where you can supply your own characteristics, but not so much in action movies.
