We downloaded the English Dubbed version off of Amazon Unbox but it was entirely horrible so we stopped 15 minutes into it and got the subtitled version. The version we saw was clearly the newly subtitled version. I did notice that the particular scene as described here was different in the subtitled version versus the dubbed but didn't think anything of it. However now I would like to see the original subtitles to see how it stacks up. Thoroughly loved the film! Yeah – Tom is right.

I bought this the day it came out. Keeping my fingers crossed that they'll change their mind about replacing the discs. I've been emailing them like crazy. Dammit! I bought this the day it came out.

I'm glad they will start making disks with the correct translations. Is there a date when these disks will arrive? How can we tell the difference? Hopefully the covers will be different.

Since i live in Hawaii i dont get to see very many foreign films in the theaters. A couple that come to mind that ive seen were Fearless (Jet Li) and Le Pacte Des Loups "The Brotherhood of The Wolf" (Mark Dacascos & Monica Bellucci). Im glad i waited for them to fix this problem.

I did watch the movie with the dubbing turned on without subtitles. I watch movies with the dubbing turned on when I can and have no problem reading subtitles.

That one example is enough for me to see the new translation leaves a lot to be desired. I will wait till they make the changes before I check this one out then.

I've been waiting to see this for a while, and thought that was going to be import time. hopefully Magnet will mark the packaging so we know that the "original theatrical subtitles" are included.

So if you don't mind a bit of a strange cadence and accent, the movie is one of the best I've seen in a long time.

So of course i made an effort to buy "Let The Right One In" as soon as it was released. Trying not to be just another asshole on the internet complaining about everything, i bit my tongue about the fact that the DVD cover is awful, with really stupid review quotes slapped onto the artwork, since i don't watch dubs i bit my tongue when it was the default option and the voice actors sounded straight out of middle school lanugage tapes. i tried to just be happy that i had this awesome film, only to end up with these bullshit subtitles. and seriously, what was the point in doing it? i stopped buying films on DVD since i rarely rewatch them any more but beginning with “There Will Be Blood” last year, i decided to make it my policy to purchase my favorite movie of the year, as a way of financially rewarding good art and encouraging more.

It's sad when films of great acting and dialogue are slaughtered because someone wants to paraphrase. Chances are if someone is intending on watching a foreign film they don't mind reading the subtitles and I consider this cheap and lazy for of paraphrasing slanderous to the film maker.
