Watch Oldboy IMDB
Oldboy YIFY subtitles. Watch Tekken: A Man Called X Streaming there. THIS WILL BE A SPOILER FREE REVIEW! Except for the ending, but don't mind, i will warn you) First of all, excuse me for my writing, i'm not a native English speaker. So, i got the "chance" to see the oldboy remake yesterday in a sneak preview. I left the cinema shaking of anger, and i wasn't the only one.
Maybe my rating of 1 is a bit to harsh, maybe i would have given it a 3 if i didn't know the original, but i did, and i had to compare the 2. And in that comparison the movie is just an insult. The original was incredible poetic (especially in its visuals and its dialogue)and had an incredible good script.
The characters were super plausible and likable. In the remake everything that was special about the original got lost. The poetic overall tone from the original is absolutely lost and got replaced by pure cliches.
So there's nothing to win on the aesthetic side The plot twists where also changed from the original, but here is the big problem: They don't work!! The characters are totally unlikeable and their relationship feels so incredible forced and constructed. The final twist is so incredibly dumb because the motivation of the bad guy to do the things he does just doesn't seem to be anywhere near realistic (and is a shame if you know why the original "villain" did the things he does). I will explain this later, but i have to spoil the hell out of it to do so. Another thing that made this movie bad where the action scenes.
Some of them were pretty brutal and seemed a bit out of place. But the worst are the scenes that they took from the original (if you know the original i think you can guess which one i mean). I couldn't get rid of the feeling that they wanted to satisfy the fans from the original by "adding" classic scenes, but they just do it way worse.
Especially the one legendary scene from the original feels so brutally out of place. They forced it to be there cause they thought it HAD to be there. So, if you don't know the original movie, just go watch this one instead, even as a standalone film oldboy isn't good cause it builds on relationship and charactermotivations that totally felt forced and driven by cliches.

With more than 4,000 films in its catalogue, Netflix has a bewildering array of movies for you to watch at any moment. And when it comes to films that aren’t made. Directed by Spike Lee. With Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson, Sharlto Copley. Obsessed with vengeance, a man sets out to find out why he was kidnapped.
If you're a fan of the original avoid this movie at any costs cause it will only make you angry.. F*** YOU!!!" to the screen and got applause for it.
Trust me, its healthier for your blood pressure to not watch this movie. And now some little extra explanations with BIG SPOILERS!!! He knows about his daughter the whole time!! He sees a TV- show about his case where they interview his daughter, so he knows how she looks. But once he is released they tell him that they captured his daughter so his biggest motivation is to find his daughter (they only tell him if he can explain why they imprisoned him)!! So his major motivation is to find his daughter and not just to solve the puzzle!! Well, not my kind of change (i don't know..
At least i wanted to know the ending, so there was a reason not to leave the cinema. Now the twist: The TV Show was staged and the woman he fell in love with during his revenge was actually his daughter. Not a bad change, but the real problem is that NO ONE is actually interested in their love! The whole story point that they fell in love with each other was so incredibly bad executed!! It just felt like the biggest cliche of the movie, they absolutely wanted a love story in the movie (cause hey.. But it absolutely doesn't feel real!!
So just nobody seemed interested in that plot twist!!! And why did they do this? Cause the whole family of the villain got raped by their father! And Josh Brolin saw how his sister had sex.. He just told a few people that she had sex!! And then the father decided to kill the whole family.. WHY?!!! No one knew that it was her father..
So the villain is not the loving brother from the original, its a sick guy that got raped and now want josh brolin to feel the love he felt!!! REALLY?!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!! In the original the whole thing was an incredibly sad story build around a small fault with a big impact the main character did once.. And the whole story felt human and realistic!
And now we have a dehumanized psychopath with weird motivation that forces us into a final plot twist we are absolutely not interested in!! This is not a remake, this is a disrespecting insult to the original. I hope that people will not associate oldboy with this movie and will instead go watch the original.
