BMI is a calculation tool that is based on averages but fails to consider several important factors ... Gender, Age and Body Fat % are three important things which should be included in an obesity calculation.
Basically, an 20 year old man who is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds is (probably) no where near to being as overweight as a 65 year old woman who is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds; they both get the same BMI score though.
