Just watched Battle Royale 1 last night :) Yup! 4/5 to the least favorable is still amazing for almost any trilogy! Just watched Battle Royale 1 last night :)

I agree to some extent with your opinion, Mr. was the weakest, but I'm a sucker for Oldboy. I'm glad you watched these and came back with feedback, and you start to slower watch more and more asian cinema and let me know your opinions :) Isn’t it wicked that you can give a 4/5 to the least favorable movie in a series?

My least favorite of the 3, but I still gave it 4/5 stars. BTW, they actually kidnap the daughter of a different boss than the one who laid him off, as they thought that would be too obvious.

Both are 5-star movies that I would put in the top 10 out of the last ~300 or so movies I've seen... But SFLV I'd put as the #1 out of the last 200 movies I saw [I only counted that far back before I gave up on finding another one!] I agree with your review, but I found the justifiable of it all to make it better, as I am very political, but un-lawful, believing in my own specific form of justice -- thus it spoke to me on a very personal level, including RE:Redemption. Oldboy's justice was just too senseless. It was more of a mystery movie as well. Though both kept me guessing! Good review. I will have to read the 2nd half after I see Mr. Vengeance; I've watched this triology in completely the wrong order (2, 3, 1) :) I actually think Sympathy For Lady Vengeance is better than Oldboy! 9/10 vs 10/10.

You are right though, not quite Oldboy, but a very solid piece of cinema. Your sucker punch comment sums it up pretty nicely. Revenge is NOT sweet! Watched this last night and I loved it!
