When watching foreign films, which do you prefer?
 
Subtitles or dubbed?

I prefer Subtitles by a long shot

I prefer dubbed to be honest. I don't want to have to be interrupted from the action by reading subtitles

PapaGeorgio 12-12-2004 06:22 PM

Subtitled all the way. I can easily read them without being distracted, but with dubbed it distracts me cause it just looks so cheesy and I then can't take it as serious.

It depends on the sort of film. If it's something that requires a lot of paying attention, probably dubbing, but for the most part I prefer subtitles.

Subtitles by far. Dubs are so "bla". Especially if they try to Americanize it when dubbing.

I don't find subtitles distracting at all, so I prefer them.

Subtitles. I can't even stand when they dub English movies for TV. It just looks so cheesy

I watched dubbed movies until I was like 16, since I didn't understand English. The worst movies dubbed are comedy. The original version is so much better. I prefer subtiltles. Most of the time, they don't even have French subtitles, so I end up watching a Japanese movie with english subtitles. That sucks for people who don't understand English around here.

Subtitles, only movies directed by Steve Oedekirk are allowed dubbing.

If it is an old (and mostl likely shitty) kung fu movie, I prefer dubbed because then it becomes 500 times funnier.

Anythingelse should be subtitled.

I hate dubbed movies.

I prefer Subtitles since it seems more real that way.

Dubbing kills the meaning of a lot of dialogue.

Subtitles all the way.

Agreed, subtitles.

bastard, you aren't fit to wipe the shit off my damned arsehole.

God bless drunken master :'(

I'm fine with subtitles anyway. they never really distracted me or anything. I read pretty fast too so I can just glance at the subtitles and then look back up while the dialogue is still on going.
