Dubbing or closed captioning


Are you less likely to enjoy a highly recommended film with either dubbing or closed captioning ? There are some Chinese/other Asian movies I tried but the dubbing was intolerable!

decent readers probably prefer subtitles, as do i.

slow readers probably find that very frustrating, i'm guessing, and would prefer dubbing.

the other utility of subtitles are for hard to discern audio or british english, for us yanks.

I prefer subtitles, but I don't mind dubbing if it is the only option.

Captioning. Dubbing is an obscene horror!
