I watched an interview with Robert Downey Jr. when the first one came out, and he made the excellent point that there actually was a great deal of action in the SH stories... it was just written in a very glazed over sort of way. "They gave chase," or, "After a struggle, they apprehended the culprit," and so forth. (I paraphrase.) The action's there, just not described in the kind of dramatic detail that modern novelists indulge in. Not even when there's a waterfall involved.
