Dubbed I can handle, but I can't really get into subtitled films, where half the time is spent reading the words at the bottom of the screen.
I want to see it - and will most probably rent it this weekend. I just need to know if it's definitely subtitled or just dubbed.

Appleseed 2004 = beautiful
This film pretty much got me working on 3d for a few weeks (thats alot for me), due to it's fantabulusness.
Yeah my Ghost in the Shell 2 has those subs on but they are not too bad, part from one part where a paragraph appears on teh screen for about 3 seconds and there is no way of reading fast enough to catch every word.
I found it hard at first to keep up but you get used to it.
Since then I've managed to view quite a range of films from over the seas.
I've heard Oldboy's good but when the regular forum "I watch asian film becoz I is propa indie" forum nerd came on spewwing his load over it, it kinda put me off.

That's what put me off initially. I was expecting an arthouse, inpeneterable mess of a movie. A mate, who's not one of these movie snobs recommended it to me and I gave it a try. Well worth it.
On a similar "Well that wasn't what I expected", rent "Dead Man's Shoes" by Shane Meadows.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
It makes it better in a way because it makes every line seem perfectly delivered...
Sometimes I forget that I saw a film subbed, and just remember the lines being delivered in English.
Also, some dubbed films are just so cheesy.
The lack of synchronisation between the voice and the image just makes it seem... :-S
i can't hear what they're saying over crappy "background" music.
