i watched it after many my friends told to and i though it was really boring. i was really confused, did not regonize any charcters. i also say that the subtitles are a little distracting.
maybe the american version will be of better make.
expected much more from it due to recommendations and the reputation it enjoys
turns out to have poor one-dimensional characters with ridiculous motives, lame predictable plot and way too long sex scenes featuring annoying asian ladies (if they're enjoying it, why do they put on the act of being slaughtered?)
I wish I had watched this years ago when I first put it on my watchlist. I didn't realize what I was missing out on. So much creative attention put into this. Loved it. One of my rare 9/10s.

I didn't like it. I don't know what everibody saw that I missed.JCS
Didn't really like it at all. Only watched it as going through Top 250...Jumping Elephant
I think the title for this film is still messed up (is "Oldeuboi" the dutch title?)... not even an aka "Old Boy".junssius
This film was really interesting... And different, but maybe not as good as I thought and hoped...devilsadvocado

Revenge is Korean! Definitely!George Bailey
Not a big fan of this one...Aeon Rio
It was okay but didn't really buy the hypnosis shit.This film is based on a manga, btw. The mangaka is Garon Tsuchiya.
And of course, the revenge is not justified.
