Watch it again in a couple months. I watched it before I knew all the hype....know that I hear how people make it sound, it amazes me how different the movie actually was. Now that your expectations are out of the way, you'll enjoy it alot more next time around.
I try to do this as often as possible, give movies that I didnt like a second chance. Most of the time they're alot better than I remember them...28 Days Later is a good example. HATED it the first time that I watched it...bought it/re-watched it a few months back and really enjoyed it. Beautiful movie. Amityville Horror was still crap though...
Im rambling...all Im saying: Give Oldboy another chance!

yeah, i bought it.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just really didnt like the ending. thats what turned me off the most. the poor dude fucked his daughter, ended up cutting off his toungue and begging for forgiveness. What i really wanted to see was Oh Daesu smash the motherfucker's face in. I mean, he waited 15 years for that moment!
but ya, ill watch it again at a later time, see if my mind changes.
its definetly a good film, no doubt...just not really my style, didnt find the second half to really be satisfying, and thats what i look for in a revenge film.
as for 28 Days Later, i wasnt really hearing any hype, so when i first saw it, it astounded me. still does. (i personally think the film lives up to the hype and beyond. fucking incredible movie imo)
i think im gonna watch that oldboy fight scene again right now though. what an amazing piece of film making.
