Let's examine the extended editions, to see how much "mindless action" they might have added:

FOTR: I think they added a few action scenes to Amon Hen, but of the few short action scenes they did add, it was to Moria, and actually helped with developing characters and their interactions.

TTT: Not one action scene was added to the film, thank you.

ROTK: Yes, there were a few extra action scenes, but that was all just to set up, but that just showed Merry and Éowyn fighting on the ground after they get knocked off of the horse, set up Grond, and killed Gothmog.

AUJ: No added action.

DOS: There was more added action in this one (I think).

BOTFA: Do I even need to tell you if any action was added to this one?

Well, that'll be my last post on the thread, whether it helped my cause or not, I'll let you figure that out.
