Review of Chinese Zodiac (2012) by Andreia B — 23 Jul 2014

Ok I'm not sure if this is fair review or not because I didn't finish watch the film, but I'm only judging the english dub version. I only went a few minutes in the film but couldn't stand watching the rest of it due to the english dub, it's so bad.

English dubbed movies take so much out of the performance of the actual actors on screen, they literally suck the life out of the characters and completely spoil the performance and the movie watching experience.

I prefer to watch foreign films with subtitles because when you hear them speak their language you know how the characters suppose to really be and what the actors are trying to convey. Dubbed movies don't do that, they kill the performance.

I would have liked to have seen this film with subs but it wasn't available at Amazon instant video. Any way I don't think the english dubbed version of this film deserves any stars but I'll give it one since I'm felling charitable.

It's so unbearable to watch but Still a Jackie Chan Fan.
