tid bit on the side:

the german quotes in the song "Weltfremd" by Reaper are from "Constantine"
the male voice you hear is the *actor* used to dub keanu reeves in all his movies
another tid bit on the side: in germany all (american/english/foreign) movies are dubbed, the netherlands and i think most of the scandinavian countries show original with subtitles

one of the best examples why dubbing is weird, when i heard keanu first i melt away from his dark voice ... not that i wasnt already melting away ... rwar ....

Almost completely correct on the Dutch part. All movies keep their original voices and with Dutch subtitles. There are some exceptions though. Most animated movies, and movies that are gonna be popular with children (like Harry Potter) get a special Dutch version with Dutch voice actors (that suck terribly) and a normal version with subtitles.

Also, most children series on tv (spongebob, pokemon, stuff like that) are also with just Dutch voice actors.

Just felt I had to tell the intarwebz this as coming from the Netherlands myself.

I refused to see Valkyrie because it was in English.  I'd prefer to see the german dubbed version with english subtitles which I don't expect will ever happen.

I'll second that.  But I really think it was Cristoph Waltz that made the movie top notch.
