I just saw “the departed” at a friends place last nite and I must say that as a follower of Scorsese films I was not impressed :disagree:. This flick is shit compared to ca$ino and goodfellas. I thought the cast was not good, being that di caprio is just not a good actor and damon should stick with doing bourne movies. Nicholson doesn’t fit the part of a boss at all. The academy fittingly gave Scorsese an oscar cuz they owed it to him. Especially when three-six mafia won an oscar last year and score boarded Scorsese in front of the entire industry :eyebrows:. This film didn’t garner an award, his body of work did IMO. I just wish it was Ca$ino that got him glory not this piece of sh*t on film. :tdown:

i thought so, i love Scorsese's films but this one did not deserve an award. he has a great resume of films but this one shouldn't be a breadwinner for him. he has been insulted for decades after each of his films (which were truly great) didn't win an oscar but this one was obviously a consolation.

the departed was a far too pop-tastic film with a genre of actors not built for this type of movie. bad casting, worse acting, and a horrible ending.

I didnt like the Departed at first,but its grown on me.I dont think its that bad a movie TBH.But yes,i agree it didnt deserve so many oscars.I also think that Di Caprio is a great actor.I wasnt really a fan of him before,but ive become one after watching The Departed and Blood Diamond.

And I completelly agree with you, except the part the actors were bad, I think all of them did a pretty good job. At first I was satisfied with the movie but when it sank in I was left with the impression, was that it? I really expected a whole lot more.
