November 7, 2008I hear they're making a remake where Will Smith is involved. Perhaps an americanized version? Either way I think the original is going to be better. I personally don't see Will Smith cutting out his own tongue.

February 11, 2008i'm not usually one to agree when feminists cry misogyny ... but i thought the way that women were depicted in this movie was really disturbing
obviously its not the only fkked up thing about the film, but disregarding the purposely disturbing stuff ... it still left a sick feeling in my stomach because of this
anyone else agree? -
June 25, 2007It wasn't the trapping of the man that excecuted brilliances, it was the events following that, especially the end.
But I thought the movie was deftly prepared, and I was "wowed" at the end. It the movie is a tad slow paced, but I kept watching because I was trying to dicern the wacky scenes and parts of the film. -
May 13, 2007Oldboy is one of the most overrated pieces of crap I've ever seen and I hate it more than life itself. Taking up a heroin habit would actually be more constructive than watching this movie. I won't dispute that it started off strong enough and had me intrigued for the first hour, but once the hammer came down it didn't even make a dent for me.
I don't know if there were some cultural differences that didn't translate well ot what, but it started off brilliantly and ended in the most pathetic of ways. And I understand and appreciate that it didn't follow a formula, but you've got to understand as a filmmaker that if you lock someone in a room for 14 years there won't be a reason on earth that's going to leave an audience paralyzed with brilliance.
And this is all just my opinion. I say this because everyone on this site seems to have a boner for this movie and I can't understand why. -
May 2, 2007The second film in the Revenge Trilogy, Olboy pacts a punch! The key is identifying the actual protagonist... only then will you understand the meaning of vengeance in this movie. A must see!!!
