Just a thought, but I wonder if the trend toward dubbing has to do with the amount of information on-screen. Most movies these days, esp. action films, are a fast-paced montage of images to create excitement (sometimes in lieu of actual excitement). It's hard enough to see what's going on without trying to read subtitles at the same time.
But I agree with most posters here that subtitles is the way to go. For me, dubbing loses not only performance, but often there is an effort to try to "fit" the dubbing into the mouth of the person talking and a proper translation often won't work in that case.
