So I went to see the new Spider-Verse movie yesterday

I couldn't stay in the theater, as it was WAY too loud. Couldn't even hear some of the dialogue because the music overtook it.

And then there were strobing effects.

Anyone else having either, or both, these problems in theaters?

1. The previews set me off.

I love Miles Morales in comics but this just looked unwatchable.

2. I loved it

That said, I have heard people mention issues with the sound mix- particularly with certain theaters/sound systems. Maybe try again when it hits streaming? It’s an incredible movie, particularly if you liked the first one.

3. Yeah, I'm waiting for it to stream.

4. These days when you go to the theater it's wise to bring ear plugs

Not only does it bring down the volume but the can also make the dialogue more clear.

5. With modern cinema sound technology, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I think movies were better when the sound was constrained to one or two analog channels with a somewhat limited dynamic range.

You don't need deafening gut thumping sound effects to tell a story.

6. Just fyi.

Clearly wasn’t just you.

8. My older two children saw this movie and liked it

My youngest child and I saw this movie tonight and liked it. My oldest really like the Punk/spikey spiderman and rave about this character. I did not care for this character and my youngest two children observed that I am a "tool of the oppressors" which is why I did not like this character. My middle child used to tell me that I was a tool of the oppressors when she was 13, and I reminded her that those oppressors were paying her private school tuition.
