I feel like if you're comparing it to modern movies, the MCU isn't really fare. Compare it to Dune maybe. I'd guess the new Dune is still paced faster with more action, but I'm not really sure. They're probably not that dissimilar. Probably the biggest difference is Dune (part 2 in particular) has a constant building of tension, with no release until the end. LotR builds and releases tension in cycles.

Arguably Dune should be even slower than LotR, as almost all the action in the Dune books is at best mentioned, but it isn't focused on. Meanwhile the new Dune movies, especially the second, added a ton of fighting that wasn't in the books and doesn't really fit the story of the books. The LotR books are slow, but it does give quite a bit of detail on fights and battles.
