As I understand it, the "rules" say they commercials can't be louder than the loudest part of the show. So if you are watching a "they blowed up real good" action show, you will not likely notice the commercials as much louder. If you are watching some chick flick and the female lead is like many women, and can only really "act" at a near whisper to get the raw emotions right, and they are talking quietly in the scene before the commercial, there is a HUGE difference.

The biggest difference is a good action blow em up kill the bad guys, action flick, and the director has to, just HAS to, insert the obligatory women that the hero has to fall in love within hours of meeting her, with and big rescue near the end of the movie, and she is a whisperer-quiet talking romantic, and the next scene jumps to a big explosion and battle scene it will blow you out of the seats if you turned it up enough to hear the lady. Even worse is they are all whispering trying to set up a 'plan" and then cut to the big explosion.

It is typical Hollywood boilerplate writing. Nothing new, just the same old plot.
