They suck. Imagine watching an actor like Sean Connery, Morgan Freeman, Sam Jackson, Sam Elliott etc. and its someone else's voice. It takes a lot away from the performance and the enjoyment of watching your favorite actors.

Yes they do! Subtitles should be used instead. I once saw Goldfinger in Quebec dubbed into French. Horrible!

Excellent. I took a DNA Test from Ancestry.com, and discovered that the largest part of my DNA (33%) comes from Scandinavia.

Well, if you live in US it's not so weird, a large chunk of us moved over there back in the days :-)
shareThey're also doing that now over here in the Netherlands. But when I was a kid, Disney movies were the only ones that were dubbed. And Pippi Longstocking, which was just weird.
shareI don't know if she was called that in dutch but Miss Prรผzelius (Lady who tries to put Pippi in an orphan house) was already dubbed in the swedish version, she was played by a german lady that didn't know swedish so she said her lines in german and it was translated to swedish later. Never realized it as a child but now it's kinda funny when you know.
shareThat's weird. I've seen that in Italian and German movies and shows, but only once in a Dutch movie. The main character in Eline Vere was entirely dubbed, because the actress was French. Absolutely horrible.
shareI don't kow why they even hire someone like that, you would think it would be a requirement to know the language of the movie you are acting in, but apparently not. It must be weird as hell for the actors to try and have a dialogue like that. I don't know if they have like an interpreter standing behind the camera or something. Sounds very awkward.
shareDepends on the quality of the dubbing. I have no idea what those actors really sound like so I'm not missing anything.
shareI love Fellini so much that I donโt even read the subtitles when I watch his films. I know them so well and I learn a little Italian.
shareI use subtitles
