Men in Black, Police Academy and the aforementioned Wright movies are action comedies. Films like The Avengers are just action films with comedic elements. 8-)
Method of Madness:
Seems kind of semanticy, but ok.

Well that's probably one reason why you aren't a film maker - these differences matter in the creation. It's not semantics. The way you're looking at it, you may as well just break it down to 'is the film good, or not good?' regardless of genre.
This is why so many horror comedies fail, because they're too much horror or too much comedy. Shaun of the Dead is seen as being a great horror comedy movie because it does both well (although I think it goes too dark at the end). If there hadn't been a single joke in Avengers Assemble, it wouldn't have made the film a failure, it would just have meant that it took itself seriously. See also: The Dark Knight.
Method of Madness:
It wouldn't have meant the film was a failure, but it would've also made it a very different movie.
Thrillho:
Without jokes, Avengers would've been almost the exact same movie. And even if that weren't the case, it's not a comedy.
