I heard so much good about this. Of course no one said that it's better than the original, but people said it has something to give, it has a reason to be, it's different.
I felt it was just like the original, but not as good.
I have to say the acting by all parties was good. Josh Brolin did a great job, as did Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley and I also liked Samuel L Jackson, I feel like he was perfectly cast for that character. The casting was pretty great at all to be honest.
But that's about it. This movie does the same as the original, but without the balls. They gave lots of nods to the great scenes in the movie but mostly doing them not as good or at the most similar. If they changed something, it was to the worst.
It's just an unnecessary remake with nothing new to give. It was entertaining, it was well shot, but it was nothing in comparison to the original Oldboy. I'm rating it 2 stars.
