Watching the last Thor movie (Love and Thunder), which felt like it was written as a comedy trying to be a super hero movie (but didn't quite work for me), made me think that in the past 10-15 years, the writers/directors for "traditional super hero movies" have been pretty good at mixing action and comedy. Several movies including the latest Spiderman Movie (No Way Home), Antman, the Avengers series, Thor (Ragnarok) and even the Justice League were all pretty darn funny for action/adventure (non-comedy). But which one was the funniest?
1. Deadpool - 118.5 Points This movie is actually #17 overall on the list of funniest movies of all time for me and definitely #1 on the action movies that include a ton of comedy. Full review on THE LIST! 2. Shazam - 78.5 Points This movies is actually #63 overall on my list of funniest movies of all time but I'm not quite sure if this movie counts as it feels like it's a comedy first and action movie second but I'm open to other's opinions. It was definitely the funniest super hero movie that I've seen but the others on this list are undoubtedly action first, comedy second. Full review on "The List" 3. Thor - Ragnarok - 70.5 Points The back and forth between Thor and The Incredible Hulk, Jeff Goldbloom. Taika Waititi as Korg, I laughed a lot! (and was a huge reason that I was so disappointed with the new Thor movie - expectations were perhaps too unreasonably high for me?). 4. Avengers - Infinity War - 38 Points It's a dark movie but there is a lot of comedy, especially when Thor interacts with the Guardians of the Galaxy crew. 5. Spiderman - No Way Home - 36 Points When all 3 Spiderman characters from different dimensions are together in the 2nd half of the film - it's pure enjoyment. I laughed a lot. Really smart, funny dialog and acting! 6. Avengers (1) - 34 Points The first Avengers when the characters are meeting and interacting with each other for the first time is pure hilarity. Love the fight scene with Thor and Iron Man. Love the Hulk grabbing Loki and slamming him into the ground ("puny god")! 7. Justice League - 32 Points Whoever thought that a dark DC movie could be this funny? Well, it it made me laugh (a lot), especially the scenes with the Flash. I love how angry Superman is with Batman. 8. Antman (1) - 30 Points Paul freaking Rudd is always lovable and funny and his roommate played by Michael Pena - lots of laughs and very enjoyable. There may are super hero comedies that may score more points but these are the funniest super hero movies that interject comedy into the action; action first, comedy second and not the other way around.
