on a side note, Oldboy was a disgustingly great movie.

Oh Skyraida, I don't like it enough to even begin to try and defend it. It was the last movie Kinji Fukasaku worked on before he died (his son finished directing) and I am a big fan of Riki Takeuchi. The problem is once you have Battle Royale, there isn't much to work off of. It was a step backwards to have the kids NOT killing their classmates. That's the whole point. But I did think the idea of "teams" was kinda cool. and the scene with Riki Takeuchi explaining the game was pretty intense. Where Part 1 is action/psychological horror, Part 2 is just action, pretty much.
