The humour was a pretty important part in the series. I wouldn't say that CotBP was the darkest of the series - it was just well-balanced.

DMC had some pretty dark scenes, and AWE would probably have the darkest theme.

But yeah, I agree that the fifth movie should focus more on the plot in a mature sense.
