What I find annoying about such films is the sound effects are usually
ear splitting loud, but the dialog is often hard to hear. :-(

I am increasingly suspecting this is because they are mixed in tiny dubbing
rooms with the intention of getting good sound in living rooms, and then when
those films are shown in auditoria with a much longer reverberation time
intelligibility suffers and the immediate response is to turn levels up.

Theatrical releases don't get the money, the money is in home distribution
today so that is what the sound mixes are optimized for. The days of 2,000
square foot dubbing stages are long gone.

also it seems mumbling is in fashion now.

Now? Marlon Brando was always the worst MANY decades ago. :-(
(and not just the Godfather which may have almost been excusable)
