Good, but way over rated. I will tell you why....

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2012)

Do not get me wrong, Oldboy is an original and a good movie, but it is way Over-Rated, it is so over-rated I was actually disappointed after I watched the movie.
What I mean is that due to the "so excellent ratings and over-hyped and over-described reviews" I thought I would see a "Masterpiece". Because of these ratings and reviews I think it killed my expectations and ruined my viewing of the movie.
What is good about this movie is the twists and shocks in the story which lets you wanting to know what is next!
And boy are you for a shock at the end.
The acting, directing and writing are all good and all the elements that makes a good Korean revenge thriller are there.
If you love Asian movies in general and Korean movies especially, than do not miss Oldboy.
Just please lower your expectations.
