 Red band trailer is released Wednesday, but as it's red band, it cant be posted here. Boring looking poster if I'm honest, I've yet to see the original but I have heard and know about it, I'll probably see the remake before the original so the remake gets a fair shake |

*vomits*
Oldboy is one of the greatest films of all time, but it is very much a Korean piece. in other words, probably the worst movie you could ever remake. I will see it just to find out how they handle the plot as there's no way this could be a straight up American conversion. My expectations are super, super low though.

 So Josh Brolin is playing every henchman in every video game ever? |

There's certainly talent behind the remake, but I'm still weary about it.
This poster is awful though. Not as painful as the Wolverine Photoshopped posters, but still pretty bad. The girl with the umbrella is especially noticeable.

Starts off like a shot for shot remake, which is, whatever. Then it gets bad. Some really bad line delivery, looks like some dumbed down versions of two of the most iconic scenes. Samuel L Jackson, who has no place in this movie. And of course Woo Jin's bodyguard has been replaced with a white chick with a sexy butt, because you know that was the main qualm of the original film.
I don't get why this exists. Oldboy is one of the most popular foreign films ever. If you like independent/ foreign crime thrillers you've probably seen it already and know it shouldn't be remade, if you haven't seen it you wouldn't be interested in this film. Not to mention it's barely 10 years old.
