yes very good shame its subtitles though but still good.

Still found it easy to follow, would have ruined it, no realism.

Awesome film, and I actually prefer the subtitles, I would hate for it to be dubbed

I agree, once you get used to them, watching a subtitled film is no different to watching an english language film imo.

At no point does a dubbed film not look/sound ridiculous.

On City of God, decent film, not as good as I was expecting, but still decent enough.

I couldn't agree any more than that,Fantastic film and coming from someone who has been to Rio De Janeiro I can relate to it a little, I can actually understand most of the Portuguese in the film so the subtitles never get in the way,but I can spot some changes they make with the translation

Bit of a spoiler is it not?

Even more so when you quote it.

Was lucky enough to come across city of god last night by accident just as it started. Brilliant film highly recomended. You forget about the subs after a while so dont let that put you off.
