Review of Oldboy (2013) by Ducknation — 24 May 2014

Was hoping this was going to be a good remake but I was completely wrong everything about this movie is pure crap. Spike Lee has made some decent film in his time so I was hoping that he wouldnt mess this film up. I already knew it wasnt going to be anything like the original as in most cases with remakes but this is a slap to the face to the original. The cast is one of the things that really made me want to watch it with Josh Brolin, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Elizabeth Olsen but in this I find Brolin's character a joke and dont care for as with the original I feel sympathy for the rest are just "meh" so you dont even care for them as well. I guess the fact that I was expecting more from this movie makes me dislike it even more. In the end this is just another average remake with nothing to see and I would recommend watching the original and never watching this movie unless want a good laugh.

Overall I give it a 4.
