[Cinema] Spike Lee's 'Oldboy'

He's just being an stubborn old man and doesn't want to admit he had to steal from other people to get an Oscar

That's pretty much it really, you're naive if you think otherwise

 

It was a joke. Sheesh

 

It's been pushed back!!!!

Let's hope it keeps getting pushed back to never being released.

 

Studio must feel very good about it. Pushing it more toward awards season.

 

tis what I was thinking. Looking for that Oscar.

 

Where are the reviews? Film opens in two days, lol

 

To no one's surprise, the critics are KILLING this. 46% on Rottentomatoes, 4.2 on imdb, 51 on metacritic.

Spike Lee is a has-been hack.

 

Not sure why, but I'm still curious to see it even with the 46% rotten score.

 

I did not know it even came out already
the Advertisement and support has been *****

Rocket River

 

Yeah. I went to the movies this past weekend and saw showtimes for it. Had completely forgotten about it.

 

I'm curious about what changes were made to the story, if anyone has seen it. I've read it's got some major departures.

 

I don't plan on ever seeing it so I just read the plot on wiki out of curiosity.

twist didn't seem too bad, not too different from the original. they must have not executed as well as the original

 

Yeah sounds ok but was probably just poorly executed.

 

For anyone curious, it's streaming on Netflix now.

Watched it last night, watchable but does feel like a pale imitation with some minor tweaks....

 

I thought the remake was pretty bad. The hammer scene looked terrible. Not even comparable. The only saving grace was elizabeth olsen in certain scenes....

 

Hammer scene was pretty bad, looked more like a walk thru before an actual attempt to run the scene.

 

Yeah. Exactly.

 

The scene in Repo Men was better than this.
