I got a good laugh at my reading of the first sentence. That definitely shows how you truly feel. but I understand well what you're saying. I didn't see the movie, but after watching the clip you provided I can see that the director should have made an animated superhero story instead of trying to make bullshit look real. My complaint that I have seen in not just movies but in music also are remakes where the artist/director made a few minor tweaks and then advertise it as being a fantastic makeover.
I agree, I see it all as very unnecessary. I understand wanting to update a popular product for a foreign audience (especially considering the original Oldboy is almost 20 years old), but I don't think that is enough of an excuse to just 'pump-out' a remake. There needs to be a certain passion/understanding of the project, as well.
