Only Marvel has the money to throw at an insider movie with an expensive cast just for fun. I did like the "comic book" look of the armour etc as a change from the more serious preceding films in the Thor series.
DC just can't do humour.

"the Suicide Squad" (the second one by James Gunn, not the first by David Ayer) was actually quite funny and spawned the TV series "Peacemaker", which is absolutely hilarious. "Shazam" was also very good. It's not that they can't do comedy, but that the higher-ups seem to lean heavily into the grim-dark Snyder stuff instead.

Forgot about Shazam, one of the bright spots of DC movies.

Love and Thunder. About 1 1/2 hour too long.

I have to agree, for me the last 30 minutes were the most entertaining, the rest was very "Meh"..

Comedy os a very personal thing. I can't stand more than a couple of minutes worth of "Jackass" and "Seinfeld" isn't something I find funny, at all.

So I take it you enjoyed the movie more than I did?
 
Three Thousand Years of Longing.

I’m so very surprised. It’s the story of Genie / Djinn relating the stories of his past imprisonments, efforts and loves to a “Narratologist”.
Acting is absolutely top notch. I thought it might be a little bit cheesy, but I’m completely wrong. The writers of this movie deserve proper salutations.
 
Confess, Fletch - Continuation of the character from the 80's but with Jon Hamm instead of Chevy Chase. Surprisingly not bad, Hamm does a good job, and there are some funny moments. Worth a watch.
 
People forget that Homage Comics was bought by DC. RED & RED II were DC.
There was good humour in both of them, although I didn't much like the end of RED II.

Interestingly, it came out the same year as the Expendables.
 
Good casting and dialogue in Red(s). Malkovich was great. Helen’s deadpan delivery.

What do you do?
I kill people , dear.

Where did you find the body?
In my freezer.

I quite enjoyed both RED movies (especially the first one). Expendable was an ok watch as well. Those kinds of humour I can enjoy. Not so much the latest Thor or either of the Deadpool movies.
