I was going to watch it too!
Mite watch pans laybrienth (sp) instead.
Any good?
Yes! Pans Labyrinth is absolutely superb. Very highly recommended (despite the fact that it's by the same director as "Hellboy").
Pans Labrynth is slightly better than Oldboy. Both are good, but fall very short from 'great'.I was going to watch it too!

You are implying all of western cinema is cliched tripe. Do you really think so?You're right. There should have been more terrorists and cries of "yippee ki yay, mother ******!" etc.
Cool, not my normal type of film and subtitles normally annoy me but with all its hype i can't not watch it.
May record oldboy on channel 4 +1

The Martix? Donnie Darko? Two recent-ish films, off the top of my head!Not entirely, but for the most part, yes. Certainly the mainstream at least.
The Martix?
Seek in taking offence at another members dislike of a film he likes, SHOCKER.

It is a pile of steaming crap. It is trying to be profound and inspired. Instead, it is crap.
I agree somewhat with your Donnie Darko comments, but what is wrong with a film being inspired by another film? Its still a very orginal piece of cinema.Bad example, the Wachowski brothers even admited they took their inspration from "Ghost in the Shell".
As for Donnie Darko, I agree it was an original movie, but I thought it was too actively trying to be original.
I think very few films are crap. Oldboy is not one of them. Its just not 'very' good...Instead, it is crap.
I'm well aware of that. Seek appeared to become defensive and hostile towards those of us who found the film to be crap, hence my comments.In all fairness, it's not going to be to everyones tastes and your opinion is worth as much as the next guy.
