Since I get the feeling you disliked it...would you care to offer your thoughts in more detail? Perhaps instead of insulting each other, we can have a very enlightening discussion about the film and its relevance (or perhaps a lack of relevance, if that is how you feel).

Why don't you list your reasons first? The review at the top already has reasons to dislike it.

whats a good movie for highly intelligent individuals like you might i ask? all i see is you comment everywhere about this movie like youre on a personal vendetta. you seem kinda insecure but back to the point, tell us some intelligent movies (prolly youll come up with some pseudo artistic crap or shawshank lol)

I see you replying to me twice and you call me insecure. If Shawshank is "pseudo artistic crap," what does that make Oldboy?

ah i see, mahunter, lifeboat, the maltese falcon.... lol your taste is laughable and none of these movies is particularily clever or anything ^^

Al those movies rank higher than your precious Oldboy here. Your taste in movies is ridiculous and you failed to mention Spoorloos, which is far more clever than Oldboy could ever hope to be.

Great, another sheep who assumes anyone with a second opinion isn't being serious.

It's funny that you consider your second opinion of any importance when you slander the people of another opinion. "The intelligence level of Oldboy fans." Obviously with that sort of though process nobody would take your critiques seriously.
You seem to dislike OldBoy on a personal level, perhaps it goes against one of your beliefs. I personally think it's a outstanding movie and that it is underrated even for an 81%. A lot of critics that dislike it is normally due to the abnormal violence and cruelty. For them it is hard to get passed and their opinions are set.
Reasons I think it is great.
-There is a very unexpected twist.
-Has great suspense.
-Shows how cruel humans can be.
-Those who seek revenge needs to dig two graves, one for their enemy and one for themselves.
-Acting was very well done
-References and takes some ideas from Count of Monte Cristo which is a classic book
-Great quotes "Though I am a beast..." "Laugh and the world laughs with you..."
-Doesn't rely heavily on action scenes. Though arguably it relies on the gore, but more so a necessity for it plays a important role.
I could probably go on but you probably don't care.

Those people also slander those with a second opinion, but you overlook that for some reason. Do you seriously think Prats made an intelligent comment?
I don't have anything personally against Oldboy, it is just not a good movie. An 81% is hardly underrated.
I saw the twist coming because the protagonist never tries to get in contact with his daughter. Spoorloos did a superior job with handling suspense and how cruel humans can be. The dangers of revenge has been done to death in films. The quote about weeping alone makes no sense, sorrow is usually shared more than laughter. The actions that do appear are ridiculous. The highlight for me is when the protagonists takes down TWO waves of enemies. Of course, this occurs off-screen.

I like most asian films, but this movie sucked. NOT one of the best thrillers, as some people say. There are dozens of thrillers out there vastly superior in all aspects.
- Why would a young attractive woman be attracted to some old, rugged, homeless bum, and have sex with while saying "it's so painful, but I'll endure it for you." It's the most implausible thing I've ever seen on film.
- The incest twist was stupid and perverted, along with his memory-wipe decision
- Many lines were eye-rolling, pseudo-philosophy
