Awesome movie...enough said about that by other reviewers.
Let me say first I have above-average hearing. This movie was dangerously loud, so loud it was painful. Coordination of music, explosions and other loud noises with dialogue was very poor such that conversations key to the story were lost to the viewer.
Recommendation: Wear earplugs or risk damaging your hearing. Perhaps this was a local theater problem, but I suspect not. Our culture has become obsessed with ACTION and EXTREME sound effects, it does so at the expense of auditory health and a good story that can be followed.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great special effects
Cons dangerously loud, poor dialogue at times
Yes, I recommend this movie.
