Re: Are movies too loud?...

I believe it is not permissible for the theaters to turn the volume down, as Dolby license requires a particular reference level. I suspect some theaters do, though, as those levels can get truly idiotic.

Why idiots mix the sound with the level they do is another question. They don't have to, but they want to. Dolby is not responsible for that. I suspect the movie makers do what they believe will please the majority of the auience - teens making out in the last row don't mind loud sounds.
