Your video is not a "random action video", whats actually wrong with it (and why Archeopteryx saw it as a random action video) is that it starts with a story but seems to push that story to the side when the action comes. for the first 45 seconds you have the opening to the story, showing the main character and him dealing with all the emotions that have built up inside him from 0:45 to 0:53 you have the transition period building up to the main part and thats where the true story of the amv is seemingly forgotten in lue of action scenes that are never used to help move the story along. this is the part of your amv that can fall under the category of and make people see it as a random action video. and i believe that is what Archeopteryx was trying to say.
Now to clear up any further contraversy on this subject, im not saying that action scenes are bad. the problem with the way they were used in your amv was there was simply no rhyme or reason to them. They never returned to the story you began to develop in the begining and at least for me that seemed to ruin the experience. My suggestion for next time would be to get inside your characters head. If you wish to outline there emotions then quick flashes of memories going across the scene as you show your fighting clips can help to portrya that, other times well placed text can also be used to display your character motivations and emotions and help to continue the story that you began.
Hope this helped
