Subtitles vs Dubbing
Which do you prefer?
Personally I go for subtitties... err titles mostly, but if it's high in action I'll take dubbing. I don't care to read while I'm watching kung fu movies or super crazy fast action anime. |

I prefer subtitles. Actually, I like to put my close caption on while watching TV. Am I sick or what? I think its my ADD. I just can't watch TV, I have to read it too.

I really hate dubbing for live action films. It's just uber cheesy but if i'm watching like an anime or something like spirited away or totoro then I prefer dubbing because it's not really obvious.

It depends on the type of movie. The answer to this question can be found in Wayne's World II.

I completely prefer subtitles. Not to be a cinema snob, but I hate it when people walk out of movies when they find out it's subtitled without even trying to see if they would enjoy it. I mean, it's kind of distracting at first, but you get used to it a few minutes in.
I like the subtitles because if the movie is filmed in another language there are nuances with the sound of the voices that are lost in dubbing. I remember in Crouching Tiger the wisp of voices and intonations in the foreign tongue.... It was lovely and gave a entirely different feeling from the dubbed version...yuck. |

If it's foreign Super Action it has to be dubbed. Hands down.
Otherwise, subtitle it. |

I completley agree with the Crouching Tiger example. I tried watching it with dubbing when I got it on DVD having seen subs in the theater. Horrible.
But the worst film I ever saw with dubbing after seeing it numerous times with subs was City of Lost Children. I accidently picked up the dubbed VHS copy (back in the day) to show some friends who'd never seen it. I got 10 minutes in and stopped it and took it back to the store telling them that they couldn't watch it this way heh. |

yeah on cheesy kung fu movies dubbing only makes it better. Sometimes on animation it's ok too if the actors are decent.
