Terrible sound!!!!

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2012)

Was it just me (or the theater I was in) or was the sound royally messed up in this movie? The "music" (primarily heavy drums throughout) was so loud and overwhelming that it drowned out the muttered, muddled, mostly incomprehensible dialog, to the extent that I had to constantly depend on visual clues to (kinda) keep up with the story.
Visually, TDKR was breathtaking -- even awe-inspiring. But the poor sound made it extremely hard to follow, and therefore disappointing.
My only "spoiler" comment is maybe not really a "spoiler" at all. It is intended mainly for the director: Mr. Nolan, the subtlety and finesse you used at the end of "Inception" (the spinning top that may -- or may not -- have toppled) would have been a great way to end TDKR, also. You could have just shown us Alfred's beatific smile when he sat down at the table in the sidewalk café -- and left us to figure out the rest for ourselves.
