[QUOTE=Warren Kiefer;853881]I used the catchy title to get your attention with hopes we can as a group, by complaints, end a practice at the movie theaters. My wife and I viewed a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL movie at the Rialto. It was God's Not Dead. That said, I truly feel the audience was assaulted by the outragous volume coming out of the speakers. It actually hurt my ears. Myself and others could be seen covering their ears with their hands. The Villages theaters are all guilty of doing this and I would liken the volume as similiar to standing next to a passing train. There is no doubt that if this volume in decibels was in a factory, all employees would be required to wear hearing protection, yet we sit in movie theaters and get lamblasted for nearly two hours.

So, for the two hours of the movie, did you sit there with hands over ears or did you ask that the volume be lowered or did you leave? You should have talked to the manager and left.
As a restaurant critic would say when someone complains AFTER consuming the whole meal - YOU ATE THE STEAK - How bad could it have been?
