Do you like a movie with dubbing?

Hi youless, I enjoy watching movies with original dialogues. It doesn't matter with either Mandarin or English subtitles, as long as I can understand what the dialogues are. Really, it's weird to watch foreign movies with dubbing. From some dubbed films I had watched before same voices would be heard again and again even the films were acted by different film starts. may be dubbed films or movies are specially for those who dislike or unable to read subtitle I suppose Happy posting

I guess it depends on the kind of movie. But I prefer a dubbed one instead of a subbed one. I will be taking time reading the sub titles and pay no attention to the actual film, so if it is dubbed, I can both enjoy what's going on in the movie as well as understand their dialogues.

I can appreciate dubbing. If I am watching a movie and there is a language barrier, I like to understand what is going on. It is a good idea to have dubbing to allow a movie to reach a wider audience. I have to be able to comprehend the development of the plot. I am thankful for dubbing in a language I can understand, and I appreciate the dubbers.

I agree with you ! I like watching anime and korean films. It doesn`t really work for me if it is dubbed. Sometimes dubbing can spoil emotions and expression of a certain film. Subtitle is much more better. You just have to read it fast though and sometimes you were actually reading than watching it. But it is fine with me that way i guess

Youless, i like watching foreign movies because some of them are very interesting. Besides that, i am able to learn a lot about foreign cultures and languages, too. Even i likes to watch those beautiful scenery in the movies. In fact, i like those foreign movies to have a dubbing, so easy for me to understand them. But pity to say, some of the dubbing sometimes don't give accurate meaning. It makes me laugh when the dubbing sounds like nonsense. I prefer to watch foreign movie with a subtitle which i think is much better and makes the movie more interesting.

yeah.if its french film dubbed in english or vice versa..thats fine by me..and a good thing too. just like in th e70s (or probably still now) HOng kong kung fu movies dubbed in English so all to see..and those japanese anime in english dub. but actually listening to the original language and watching the movie/tv presentation with english (or ur preferred language ) subtitles is more better..

I am sure there are some wonderful movies to be seen that hav dubbing. i find that i spend more time reading the subtitles than being involved in the plot of the movie , There is something to be said for sound and woeds coming together.

Show me a dubbed movie and I sure as hell wont watch it. Its just it irks me so much to see tv shows and some movies dubbed, like actors voices are changed, its so irritating to watch a movie and know the actor isnt even speaking and wondering what they may sound like etc. because somehow for me actors voices add up to movie or tv show too. In a way sometimes there are moments when original actor will deliver a sentence way better an more emotional than a dubbed person will. Its all about personal preferrence though but wffor me they're an absolute no. Subtitles or I don't watch it at all.

I dont like watching dubbed movies, I prefer watch it in original language and subtitle under the movie so it can help me to learn foreign language (especially English) if I dont understand I can see the subtitle but I try not to see the subtitle.

I like subtitles too! Especially in Japanese and French movies, I love hearing their accents so much. I don't mind reading the subtitles, I can still concentrate on the movie Sometimes dubbing takes away the real emotion of the characters. That's how I feel about it

I feel like distracted with a dubbing movie lines as transcribed in subtitle. But, I tend to watch movies with subtitle, to see the real dialogues done by actors. Since some scenes can not be audible to hear, especially with a special effects.

i on't like a move with dubbing when i go to cinema, i always choose original movies, why ? becuase i think original movies are more comfortable and i can listen to the real sound from actors. i'm a chinese so i choose English original movies that is good for my English.

Well I prefer subtitles than dubbing. I hate it when the dubber's voice is inappropriate with the personality of the actor. There are also times when the actors mumble their words--subtitles help in this case.

I agree with you. I like foreign movies, and I like the movie with the subtitle, but I don't like it with dubbing, it is just not the same as the origional.

In my country very few movies are dubbed. As far as I know it only happens if it is a movie for small children who haven't learned to read yet. If it is movie for adults they use subtitles instead. I am happy that subtitles are much more common than dubbed movies because I like to listen to the foreign languages and I don't have the chance to do that if the movie is dubbed. If it is English movie I don't read the subtitles, I just listen to the words. If it is Asian movie or a movie from another county where I don't understand the local language it is neccesary to read the subtitles. It is not a problem for me to read the subtitles and follow the story in the movie as well. My country uses subtitles all the time and it has become a habit to watch a movie and read the subtitles at the same time.

What's the dubbing all ab out? Like changing the audio to fit some language purpose? Well I prefer the original with subtitle if its not AmE

I preferred to watch foreign movies and tv series with subtitle than with dubbing. When I was working a tourist for Japanese and starting to learn their language I bought lots of japanese anime and movies with subtitle so that it easy for me to pronounce their words and easy for me to learn their language and familiarized their accent and actions while watching.

I like watching dubbed movies. English is not my mother tongue and I can't understand the dialogues from the hollywood movies. But I like to watch hollywood movies. So the the possible way for me is to watch dubbed movies. I also watch movies with subtitles. But if we are reading the subtitles then we can't concentrate on the movie.

Hi!!! I like to go to www.mysoju.com and watch korean dramas. They are usually subbed, so I'm used to subbing. I do have a problem with dubbing however. I watched the Toho Godzilla, his last 'retirement' film. As with all dubbing, they just never seem to match the environmental 'echo' around the voices with the environment in the film. I mean, if they are in the city, they sound like they are in a sound booth. If they are in a vehicle, they sound like they are in a sound booth. Just irritating. I do not like dubbing at all.

I personally cant stand watching films that are dubbed. However i am partially deaf so at home i sometimes watch my programmes with subtitles and that annoys me too as i can hear i am not totally deaf and i know they miss loads of words out.
