Q: Subtitles or voice-over?
Personally, I prefer subtitles, cos I get put off by bad lip-syncing.... but then, I wasn't brought up with it like in so many other countries around the world...
8 years 25 weeks ago in Arts & Entertainment - China
I prefer subtitles, I also find the lip syncing annoying. The only time I watch dubbed films is when I am practicing my Chinese. I watch western films dubbed into Chinese.
Subtitles, every time.
Seeing a movie with an actor you know speaking in a shrill, high pitched voice kills it for me.
Subs, voice over sucks regardless of the language, lips are out of sync and some voices just don't fit the actors, in Germany big budget foreign movies are being voiced over and it's really awkward.
Definitely subtitles. Watching Arnie Schwarzenegger or Jason Statham speaking like a pussy is too much for me.
Dubbed films died about 40 years ago but back then I can remember watching sword and sandal epics and not thinking anything about it. I just thought that covering oneself in oil resulted in an ever twitching mouth.
