Avoid this! No English sub-titles!

The trailer promised English sub-titles but they didn't exist, so we wasted $11 bucks on this purchase.

Amazon only offers English dubbed version. Everything is out of sync and ruins the movie. The voice overs are lazily done and it's sad that this is worse than the old 1970s/1980s Chinese dubbed Bruce Lee movies.

I returned this bluray. It had hard  coded english subtitles . . subtitles that are in the  video itsself and cannot be turned off. Some might be OK with this but very annoying to me. I just wish this information was in the bluray description so I could have avoided it.

Awful. This film need subtitles. Worst english speaking movie ever. Can't understand anything spoken. I gave it 2 stars because the photography is beautiful.

Bought this for my husband who is having the same problem as many others in the reviews, this is the UK english version which does not like or appreciate his Texas twang, basically I paid for features that are absolutely essential to him (he drives quite a bit and hands free voice answering is important) that have been rendered unusable. No where in the description does it state that American english is not an available option. If this had been posted for sale on an international version of Amazon I wouldn't have a problem, but to post on the US site and include a product that for all intensive purposes discriminates against speakers with American accents is ridiculous. It is being returned today!

I can't believe that this dvd don't have sub-titles or close caption....just English spoken language, WHERE IS THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE HANDICAPPED?

Disappointed that Disney has used incorrect subtitles for this release, as they have sometimes done in the past - the new HD transfer looks absolutely stunning, and really lets the artwork breathe. Which makes it even more disheartening that they have omitted a proper translation of the original Japanese. The subtitles included here are of the English dub, NOT the original Japanese script - which alters the original dialogue and removes cultural context for this film. A masterpiece like Princess Mononoke deserves better.

We are very surprised that there is no English subtitle nor closed caption neither for these DVD of Avatar!  That is a pure dirty trick on hearing disabled people and people who need to improve English reading skill when they buy DVDs without English subtitle.  Also, we learned the truth dark secret for these DVD products - that Avatar DVDs came from China and they made those counterfeits DVDs since they were not capable to create English subtitle and closed caption.  Please do not buy these DVDs!  Wait till USA-made high-quality Ultimate Avatar DVDs with English subtitle and trailer too.

To repeat what others have said: NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES.  I have also enjoyed this film other times in other formats WITH subtitles, including a VHS tape I owned long ago.  Those versions do exist.  It's crazy that the description failed to mention this.  I bought the DVD in the U.S. from Amazon U.S..  Did no one consider that the American buyer should know about this?

Watched the movie in subtitles although the description states in English and was very disappointed!

Ultraman has finally been defeated. Not by the Zeton. But by poor audio/video presentation. I cannot believe this is a ligit release. Don't be fooled
by the attractive box. This is a bottom of the barrol bootleg disc. Home made R-DVD's look better, and I couldn't get a disk to sound this bad if I tried to do it on purpose. Avoid Volume 2 like the plague. I can't believe Tsuburaya would do this to us.
Is the english track missing or just defective?
Why is the video so jumpy/artifacted ?
 Are these episodes "Time compressed"?
if I turn the english subtitles off, they will pop back on again sometimes. Why?
Did the show always look/sound like this? (I was pretty young, not sure.)
And Alex P's explanation is wrong. Most of the scenes presented only in japanese were definately intact in the original english versions.

Not in English, en Francais.  No subtitles in any language.

When a book is written in another language, in another culture, we expect some nuance of another culture. This seems to more a colloquial English translation. I sense nothing of Finland, of Helsinki. Translation is an art form. This is crap. Translating every word into English gives me no sense at all of Finland or Helsinki So the translator has no sense of the art of form of translation. I doubt this person has even visited Finland. In translation this is worthless..Hey translator, how about you got live in Finland for a few years. But wow,  you have a degree in both Finish and Estonian. My guess is you are as absolutely incapable of that language as well. In English it's a poor excuse for a murder mystery. The investigator misses everything, the plot leads no way. I would not waste my tim in reading any other of these books.,

I agree with the reviewer below. I was holding out on purchasing this film on VHS, wanting it on DVD instead. I was excited when Amazon.com alerted me to this release. I expected it to be the same as the marvelous 2DVD, Region 2 release with full-screen presentation, bi-lingual audio and subtitles and an extra DVD full of special features. I was extremely disappointed in receiving this full-screen, pan-and-scan version with only an English audio voice track! No special features! The folks who released this should be ashamed. Miyazaki deserves better...

Performance was great. But without subtitle, even a Chinese-speaker can barely understand what they're saying, not to mention English speakers! Disappointing. Wouldn't have bought it if I knew.

It appears to be subtitled.  This is not mentioned.  I'm only interested in movies that I can watch without having to read the subtitles.
