3/4  A Good Revenge Film
One of my friends saw the twist from a mile away but I wouldn't say it's predictable. Since I saw "Lady Vengeance" prior to this one, I kind of had low expectations so I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this film. I liked that t... (read full)

4/4  Oldboy Quick Review
By far the best of Chan-wook Park revenge themed trilogy and one of the greatest movies of all time, unfortunately an American remake is on the way...

1.5/4  Oldboy Quick Review
The story is absolutely ridiculous. Everything else is good, but bad story == bad movie.

4/4  Oldboy Quick Review
No one does revenge better than Chan-wook Park. The middle of the "vengeance" trilogy is arguably the greatest. A story that will at first leave you scratching your head, then will leave you reeling. A one-two punch that leaves you stunned.

4/5 Great movie, but... Eww! *SPOILERS*
  by Poe the Ghost (Inside the great Deku Tree)
Oldboy is a great movie, and it may even deserve a full 5 stars, however I just can't bring myself to give it a full 5.
I loved this movie, it had all the elements to be a 5 star movie, great script, great acting, and lots of unexpected twists & turns that keep you guessing til the very end! However, (and maybe this is just me...) once I got to the end of the movie, (despite the fact that it left me in awe) I almost wished that I hadn't...
Oldboy, in essence, is pure genius. But the utterly revolting incestuous sex scenes took off a star for me. It may be unfair, because those scenes did have a point, and because they added to the overall shock value once Oh Dae Su found out that Mi-do (his lover) was actually his daughter and that his captor had orchestrated the whole thing, their meeting, their friendship, and them falling in love. It was pure brilliance...
So why did I take off a star? Because of Dae Su's decission to forget the awful truth about Mi-do, the woman that he loved so much, being his daughter through way of hypnosis. It was tragic, it was brilliant, but it's simply not the sort of thing I would've done if I were in his shoes...
The verdict? 4 out of 5 Stars. It was a great movie with a tragic yet brilliant ending. However, incest is just gross... And Dae Su's decission to forget the truth in order to stay with the woman he loved is what stopped me from giving it 5 Stars.

5/5 Old Boy UMD

This movie is sick and twisted, your should watch this movie with your mom and your whole family to truly realize how screwd up the ending is. Keeps you guessing from beging to end.
