Another great movie in the Librarian Series
10 October 2012
I love the other two The Librarian movies, they are a lot of fun and I love this movie too, at least as much of it as I could understand. For some unknown reason there are only Spanish subtitles (in Canada?) but no English Subtitles or English Closed Captions for this movie although the other two have English text for those of us who are hard of hearing. I'm one of them. And sadly there are whole conversations and scenes where I may be able to understand what one person is saying but the other person's lines are completely unintelligible, usually Gabrielle Anwar's lines but sometimes Noah Wyle's are too. Occasionally I have no idea what either of them has said and I don't read lips well enough to figure it out either. I'm not that deaf, only about a 50% loss in one ear and the other ear is fine but I do find that often in newer films people speak a lot more quickly than they used to speak and often their enunciation is sadly lacking. They've forgotten about speaking at a 'listening pace' and sadly this movie has that problem more so than the other two. Even repeated viewings have not helped nor has increasing the volume until it becomes almost uncomfortably loud. Please, someone, re-issue this movie with English CC or Subtitles. Please! We have searched in vain to find another release with CC in English in DVD or Blu Ray but have not been able to find one.

We both like these movies enough to buy another copy of this one if it had CC in English.
