Do you struggle with movies that use subtitles?
I have a hard time watching movies that have subtitles. It's either I watch the screen and see what's going on with the movie and miss what they're saying, or I read the subtitles and miss what's going on with the movie.
hmmm!
good points. It does get easier the further the movie goes on. Maybe it's a practice thing but I still prefer non-subtitles. Giving the choice tho, I'll take subtitles over horrible voice dubbing.

not really. i read the subtitles first and most lines are so easy to predict...except the good ones. my sister, she doesn't like reading at all. She considers comics literature. lol. anyway, when we watch movies with subtitles in it, the first run she complains that the subtitle's too fast. and then she'd jump up and down with joy when we get to see the movie the second time around...:D she get's too see the picture the second time. lol. and my sister has a way with saying things that make them so funny. i wish you'd see her to get the picture. lol. im bad at telling stories. :D

Not at all; I love movies with subtitles! Whether they're speaking in English or not, I find it difficult to watch the movie if there AREN'T any subtitles... A lot of times, the characters talk so fast that I don't catch what they're saying, or they say it so quietly or faintly that I can't even hear it.
This holds truly especially when they start singing some random song in the middle of the movie I've never heard before. I'm not hard of hearing, but things are made perfectly clear when the words they say are written on the screen.

Actually its the other way round. Americans need subtitles to watch British films. Though my first language is not English( and I was taught British English at school), I find American English easy on the ears. But I have to admit that the British accent is sexier!

I struggle if the subtitles are in Cantonese and the narration is in Mandarin. If any of it is English, I'm fine.
