I don't know if it's just me, but movie theaters seem louder now. Not the sound editing of the film itsef or anything. Just the volume of the physical speakers seems way cranked up now. So "reasonable volume" is at the top of my list.

This trend has been documented in live theater:

Totally agree with you on this ones. One thing I don't like about the newer (smaller) IMAX theaters is that the sound is "so" loud. And the base often rattles the theater exposing annoying sounds
