At times the lip sync of the characters in a show or a movie goes awry

It's very irritatin...I keep concentrating on the 'Is it slower or ahead?'. I can't get it out of my head and enjoy the movie.
And for the very same reason, I cannot watch a movie which is dubbed in another language. I can't enjoy it the way it should be. I don't mind sub-titles in English...but not dubbed movies.

I hate it when that happens. It gets on my nerves and it gives me a headache watching it. I will change the channel ro turn the movie off if that is happening. It makes you feel like everything is in slow motion or the movie is not up to standards.

I really mind so much because I have gotten used to it over the years. Here in my country, there are a lot of tv series and movies that are being dubbed into english so the lip movement is so much different from what we hear. It takes getting used to and at first it seemed not to my liking but I really got used to them eventually.

I definitely hate when either mid-movie or mid show all of a sudden something happens and the words and lips don't match, that drives me crazy.
As for if it's just a voice over, that's also really frustrating. I prefer to just watch films with their original voices and subtitles.
If that isn't an option, ie. when it's on tv, I will just switch channels.

I totally abhor when voice overs are done. I simply cannot stand it. I hate the fact that the voice overs can't bring justice to the performance that the original actor brought to the character. Plus the disjointment of the mouth, actions, and sounds ultimately end up being too much of a distraction.
I prefer subtitles. It proves to be a more authentic experience.
