What's so bad about the Oldboy remake?
This is why I wanted to force people to watch it because I just don't get the hate.

I don't think the original was worthy of a remake (or americanized), and it's unclear why anyone wanted to be involved -- outside of Olsen and her quest to become famous. There's honestly nothing appealing about it, but I don't think they sold the transitional period well and luckily I forgot the ending so got something for my time. If I ever feel like it, i'll have to watch Oldboy again, but it wasn't a great flick and I think is incorrectly grouped with the good stuff from Korea.What's so bad about the Oldboy remake?
no need to out rms like that.
after no country nags you 8 times to watch the damn films.
Mate you've been here long enough to know it will be us nagging him.
i forget if i said this already, but in defence of the person who submitted that one, they originally submitted martyrs (two people did actually but then both ended up going for their alternative picks instead). i think most people here have seen martyrs already but maybe i'm wrong and it would've been a better choice.
