EPTI watched it because there was so much hype surrounding it, and admittedly found the premise quite intriguing. However as the plot developed I just found it got weaker and weaker and more and more silly/absurd and by the time it ended it was just a piece of shit movie.

If you take this quote in consideration as to the revenge of the both characters, Oh Dae-su and Evergreen(forgot his real name), the movie i thought was amazing plot wise. In the end, revenge is sweet. Anyways, i cant imagine myself seeing a director making a movie like this in the states. And your literally like the first one ive ever seen say they disliked Oldboy  Oh well, everyone has their preferences edit: It was most likely the crazy ass twist in the end that got everyone. Although overall the movie was a good watch. | ||

Be kind rewind? Really? I advice you to wiki search the films of the past ten years and you'll be able to find at least 50 that could replace some of your best choices. | ||

Well it is based on a manga with the same title, although certain bits of the story are quite different.  Id also like to mention its been voted top 10 korean film ever made by many critics and communites =\. | ||

It's one of my favorite movies of ALL-TIME and have yet to find anybody who didn't thoroughly enjoy it. The acting is wonderful, the action is wonderful, the drama is bountiful. It's just a beautifully made movie. Definitely worth a rental if you haven't already! | ||

Just becuase its the most appealing to the general public doesnt mean its the best. Without its top of line animation and 3D aspects of the film, the movie woulda sucked balls imo. I knew the entire plot/story from watching the trailer itself =\. | ||
