Cloned From:
These movies are listed in order of personal preference.
*THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM was an entertaining movie with one blaring exception. The volume the audio is set to is uncomfortable for people who are not already deaf. I wish THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM was unique in this regard, but it seems to be the standard--particularly for action movies. My husband and I enjoy going to theaters to see the most recently released movies that interest us. However, we do not enjoy movies when we have to either insert ear plugs during the movie and/or leave the movie with our ears ringing. Alas, no more action movies in theaters for us. We'll wait until these movies are released on DVD and rent them. We prefer to retain our ability to hear.
