 I just finished watching the movie, "Old Boy". My brother  had said that it was one of his favorite films so I had high  expectations for it. 
  Let's discuss this movie...
  My quick 11:40am opinion: The film picks up a large amount of momentum in the first  half, but wastes it in the second half by trying to tie up  too many uncertainties instead of maintaining the pace that  was established in the first half.  :)

Good film, the Hollywood re-make is going to be utter shite.

I loved this movie! Didn't think it lost anything for the  last half, it just turned more into a psychological thriller  than the first part was!

I love it when people assume that just because hollywood has  their hand in it its automatically going to be awfull.

well maybe not awful, but its a pointless remake of a recent  film and I doubt this kind of film will transfer well to  Hollywood. I mean, no other country remakes recent American  films, why can't they just stick to being creative  themselves instead of making remakes and sequels all the  time? Is it a superiority complex? 'We can make it BIGGER  and BETTER because we are Americans?'
 
  Anyway, I liked the film, very original, a difficult subject  handled well and had some amazing action sequences,  especially the one in the corridor with the hammer.
