Once upon a time Germany was very big in the movie business. Before the 3rd Reich Hollywood was in Germany so to say. And the films were German spoken, of course. Foreign movies are dubbed ever since, a relict of glorious times.
Although I would probably come through an English spoken film, I don't like subtitles in films (at least if I can't switch them of). I can't help but read them and so I miss the picture, to me the essential thing of a motion PICTURE. I would read a book if I want to read, not watch a film. So I for one don't mind the dubbing, there are cases where it's done horrible though.
