Creating a proper mix of drama, comedy, and action is really the true art of these movies. It's relatively easy to make a movie that has just one tone (grim dark for example). But to make people laugh in the middle of a dramatic scene without losing the impact is much harder. This has been the hallmark of "action" movies since the time of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" 1938 and "Gunga Din" 1939. John Ford's Cavalry Trilogy (1948-1950) is another great example of this as well as more modern things like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon", and "Star Wars". Right? It's like that got lost somehow in the mid-2000s. But it seems to be coming back now.
