Don't they check sound quality before releasing?

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2013)

Slow, plodding, could not connect with any of the characters. If anyone can explain why someone accidentally threw a blanket over the microphone, it might help explain the muffled conversations throughout half of the movie. For dramatic effect it was a definite fail. Withoout giving anything away, I really miss the Rocky movies after seeing this 'must miss'. One of the things that really irritates is when filmmakers thrust the microphone right in the thick of special effects and seemingly completely remove it during vital conversations. It implies that the audience suffers from a complete lack of imagination on their own and deem it necessary to supply it for them through loud special effects. I don't recommend this movie to anyone who wishes to be entertained for 2+ hours.
