The Dark Knight Rises... and says something unintelligible.
I just got home from watching "The Dark Knight Rises". My ears are still sore from the volume! Why does every action scene have to be accompanied by ear-shattering music? Worse still, they have these dramatic sections where the actors are saying something important. You know it must be important because there's very dramatic music drowning out whatever they're saying! Worst of all, the main villain has a mask on that muffles whatever he's saying, and I can't understand half of it, even without the dramatic music making it worse.
Admittedly part of the problem is with me. My hearing is very good, so I hear too much sometimes. Most of the problem though is that I've always had difficulty understanding speech in noisy situations. This tendency to drown everything in loud music just makes things worse for me.
Putting aside the sound problems for the moment, while some things stretched credulity a bit, overall the movie was entertaining. Couldn't beat the experience because there were all of three people at the Vmax session!
