Blaming the actors for mumbling isn't really the problem, it's that proper attention isn't made to the mix. While I don't go so far as adding subtitles I find myself reaching for the remote about three or four times during a movie, especially action films where sound editors seem to think they need to crank the action scenes and then turn emotional ones. There's little thought to the comfortable middle. I think the bigger problem is that most DVDs are mixed terribly.
