Was it just me, or was there an awful lot of mumbling in this picture. I had to put the english subs on just so I could figure out what the hell some of the actors were saying.
shareI think its just you.
Get a decent sound system.
A lot of these modern films now have far too much mumbling. For crying out loud, WHY can't these actors be told to speak more clearly?
And WHY does the background sound - e.g. the noise of gunfire - belt out much louder than the dialogue? It really does my head in when you turn up the volume to make out what the actors are saying - and suddenly your ear drums are blasted near to bits by the almost nuclearlike explosions of accompanying scenes of action? VERY annoying.

I have issues with all that, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Commercials that are several times the sound level of the movie, brass sections that are the loudest thing about the show, background sounds and song lyrics that get into the subs. Subs that go nonsensical, ones don't keep pace with the dialog, those that disappear after a millisecond, and those that must have been made from an early script instead of what is being said on the screen. People mumbling is also and issue in real life, enough so that I had to disable my voice mail. Better they know I never got the message than waste time trying to interpret their lazy speech patterns. People who believe their spell check corrects their grammar, and those who don't use it at all. Do you think it kind of shameful when PG movie flirtations are more inspirational than a whole shelf of XXX porn? Or does the fact that heaping doses of violence, torture, murder, property damage, and all manner of crime are served as child appropriate while sex is still taboo without special clearance even for us adults cause you to wonder? Not a complete list, but just what comes to mind that would be somewhat appropriate here on this day at this early hour. Back to the OPs original question, I am sure they mumbled even more than depicted here and used much more colorful language too. Too many people use credit to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
shareTrue. Nowadays to watch a film you need subtitles.
