So, I posted the audio comments from all the reviews I could find and they all raved about the audio as well.
That is, audio ratings of:

9/10
4.7/5
4.5/5
10/10
5/5
5/5 (here)

would seem to indicate the audio is excellent and 5/5 doesn't seem out of place (or like "an exaggeration").

Anyway, that also led me to wonder why this keeps happening and I didn't mean to single you out (i.e. don't mean to imply you're the one always doing that). It's just weird that so many titles that get rave reviews for audio from reviewers (and usually many of us) will always have a group that says the audio is lacking. Edit: On 2nd thought, it's not any different than the picture quality where the same sort of thing usually happens. Guess it's just the subjective nature of it all.

I appreciate you views and comments. I do have my own sense of quality as far as movies go and I am very picky about the sound. I don't rely on reviews to tell me what sounds good and what doesn't. What's important to me, likewise as it is to them (the reviewers), is how the sound impacts me in my listening room at a sound level I can enjoy or can tolerate (as in Mummy III).

We don't live in a perfect world. Movies aren't perfect, directors aren't, actors aren't, sound editors aren't, and Mummy III isn't perfect. Neither am I. Subjective or not, real or imaginary, someone is going to find a flaw. If most people agree and think Mummy III has perfect sound, that's fine for them. I am not buying this movie because for me, maybe it's just me, the sound is flawed and doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't think it's wierd that some disagree with the majority. What's wierd is this time I am in the minority. But because I think I am right, I am very happy to be in the minority this time.
