Modern movies are designed to be watched with subtitles
I don't exactly know when this happened to the sound design of films, but in this age it's extremely difficult to make out what is being said on screen. The ambient sounds and explosions completely drown the dialogue, along with actors practically mumbling/whispering to the point where nothing is comprehensible without accompanying subtitles to be able to make sense of the words they are saying. The breaking point for me was the Odyssey where for some reason every background sound was dialed up to 11, with some rare occasions which allowed actors to be understandable when not much in terms of action was happening.
