I'm not so concerned with seriousness as a visceral realization of intense combat that puts you right there on a battlefield. That tends to go with seriousness due to just how tone tends to be in war movies but it doesn't have to be. Action movies just don't do action scenes like war movies either due to budget or the specific tone of action movies being "badass" rather than "visceral". I know you don't play video games but it's kind of the difference between arcade and simulator.
