I felt it was overrated. The story was really unrealistic in my point of view. Good film nevertheless.

Which Korean films are realistic? This is a very *Korean* film. Don't expect realistic fight scenes. Expect WTF moments ... like that knife or ax in his back during the single-shot take of the fight scene (that's how you appreciate ... the fact, I think, that it was a single-shot take ... which is difficult to do in movies). TLers have hyped Old Boy too much so that ppl come into it with unrealistic expectations.

Say, what? That was an unnecessary insult.

I agree with the other comments though. If you want a good by-the-book plot, shocking but unrealistic special effects and angles; Don't look beyond Hollywood!

maybe it's not the most profound (artistic) movie, but it certainly was one of the most EFFECTIVE of its medium

I disagree about the fight scene angle. It made it feel less produced. It was a unique perspective that gave off kind of a chaos and stumbling about of the henchmen(and the guy) that made it seem like a thug vs thug brawl- not neo vs darth maul. They used timing too to make it long and drawn out to give you the sense of tiring and disorganization of that melee.

As for the movie.. I had it spoiled before watching it so it kind of killed the big moment. However I still enjoyed the experience... that kind of neurotic unreal mood was done really well. I want to say kind of like Fight Club (not saying its as good).

I'll agree though, if you bought into hype too much it might be a downer, but that goes for anything.

It`s a great move. That`s all there is to it.
And that fight scene is great.
Sympathy for mr Vengeance and Lady Vengeance are ok, but not as good as Oldboy imo.
It kind of reminds me of Fight Club in how it does a 180 near the end.

Bringing up Oldboy on an sc forum will definitely bring you skewed responses

kind of ironic that you complain about realism and then laud a scene from a matrix movie.

I loved Oldboy so I recommended it to my friends and they hated it. I think it's a love it or hate it movie. I've never heard anyone complain about the action scene though, that scene is universally accepted as baller.
