Oldboy (2003)

Pass by the "Boo" comments.

[10/10 · 6 September 2007]

After going through the comments, i must say i'm impressed how many people out there don't have a slightest clue of beauty or intelligent screenplays. there are so many comments from people that totally disliked the movie. which is plain and simple not possible, if you got an open mind and a open heart (and are not drunk). I would compare it to chocolate. You may find it too sweet and prefer bitter chocolate. or you like white chocolate more. Or you got diabetes and can only sometimes eat one. But people that totally dislike chocolate scare me to death. Same goes for Oldboy, you gotta admit some of the genius art-form it contains. Its everything in there. Its heartwarming , disgusting, intelligent, beautiful and lead with outstanding performance of any actor . You HAVE to like something, cause it wont get much better. Its chocolate. If you disliked the movie so much and on a constant basis, why even bother to write a comment? My guess is you just could not follow the movie at all. which is my only guess actually. well enough rambling.

:::::::::: Bottom Line :::::::::

If you call common sense, and a human heart your own and like "challenging" movies, go and see it NOW.(i recommend the original korean version with subs)I also recommend the pre- and sequel to this movie. (just browse Chan Wook Park) If you think "The Fast and the Furious" is the best movie ever made, please do not even bother to watch Oldboy, and spare others your "brilliant" reviews.

Don't watch if you are happy..

This movie was one of the hardest disappointments i ever had. Actually 2 disappointments. but it started wonderful. a well played well cutted cheesy movie with a lot non Disney typical charm. Until suddenly the first (but little) disappointment crashes in when u realize that ur not watching a fantasy movie at all. u get over it pretty soon and start to enjoy it again. and actually i fall in love with the characters. until then a creepy feeling ran up my neck. i "smelled" something totally "not cool" comin up. and sadly i was right and just shaked my head. i fast forwarded the last 15 minutes constantly shaking my head. one of the movies that i call "the director lost the script and asked a passenger how this movie should end" film. totally, totally disappointing movie.

SUM: If you like to get a serious downer that holds on for 2 days, go see it. If you wanna have a good time just step by and watch something else.

TOTALLY NO KIDS MOVIE
