Oldboy was better as a first viewing. I watched the entire film with my jaw on the floor. Everything that happened was a surprise. The hammer fight scene is unmatched. There Will Be Blood is has better staying power for me, however. Follow up viewings have proven to yield unexpected satisfaction and unexpected depth. Oldboy, without the feeling of surprise and newness, looses a little bit of its charm.

I know that kinda was the point but I felt like taking a shower after watching Oldboy. It left a really bad taste in my mouth. The twist was mind-blowing upon initial viewing but the film loses its lustre once you know what's coming. There Will be Blood is more rewatchable and also the better film in my opinion. It wins this bizarre match-up.
