Originals with subtitles, obviously. One caveat being that some animated films have good English dubs, and in those cases the dubbing works fine for me.

Jeremy1983 · 12-18-2009, 06:03 PM

Please, nobody say dubbed

I won't watch a dubbed movie.

YES YES YES......

The fourth option of the poll is great

Secretagentnumber6 · 12-18-2009, 06:05 PM

Who voted dubbed? Please tell me that is a joke.

Jwilly019 · 12-18-2009, 06:07 PM

Original language with subtitles for me.

even if you cant understand the language, the vocal deflections and tone are critical to conveying emotion. some hired schmuck who does dubbed language has no idea who the character is. in the end, you haven't seen the film, just some hogwash.

Original language with Subs for me....only way to look at a foreign film

Man this is perprosperous and ludacris! Who voted dubbed?? Got Em!!

Jeremy1983 · 12-18-2009, 06:11 PM

Would anyone change their mind if it was a foreign animated film? As long as the director was involved and approved the new voice-work, I'd be OK with it, but would still prefer the original w/ subtitles.

It does change things with animation. But the fact is that typically animation gets a great voice localization cast. That said I can watch them either way.

Agreed. It's baffling that anybody picked dubbed.

assydingo · 12-18-2009, 06:47 PM

Besides a select few animes (most I cannot stand dubbed) I always prefer original audio with subtitles.

Rblu-Dblu · 12-18-2009, 06:50 PM

Voted for original language with subtitles. Dubbing is horrible. It's good for a laugh though if you've been drinking.

Dieselboy · 12-18-2009, 07:19 PM

Dubbed is great for laughs....like the older Godzilla movies or an old kung fu movie when their mouths keep moving for a about a minute after the voice of the 'dubber' stops!

Elvis · 12-18-2009, 07:44 PM

original language of course with subs......UNLESS...we can get some real good dubbing like in a Bruce Lee film!

Psychonaut · 12-18-2009, 08:17 PM

Original only!

+1

Good acting is much more than just showing up on camera or going through some motions.

I can't watch dubbed films.
