Not the film Marty should have won for but still great. A

Fuckin A. Awesome. Leo should have won. Perfect cast. Everyone brought their A+ game. Terrific on every level. Leo + Farmiga sex was hot.

[Deep Wang]

A fucking goddamn modern classic.

I just rewatched this today. It's a very good movie. The actings are great from everyone, tight script, good direction. The movie did a wonderful job in portraying the theme about identity and the struggle, resentments, conflict that come with it.I rarely see remades living up to originals, but The Departed really brought the game. It managed to capture the tone, and all that made Infernal Affairs a great movie, while also showing viewers its own uniqueness, definitely not being a lesser carbon copy.I gave it an A

This movie marks the return of Scorsese to his favourite mobster melodramas. 

[Dilusha Bandara]

This is the movie which made Leo, the new De Niro of Scorsese.

[The Stingray]

I'd give it a B. Far from Scorsese's best work, but still a great movie. It just shows the kind of director Scorsese is when he makes a movie as great as this, and still has 5 or 6 films on his resume that are even better.

Favourite movie of 2006, its one of those long crime films that are re-watchable and never boring, this is why I prefer this and Goodfellas over The Godfather.Ill never understand how Wahlberg was the only cast member to recieve an Oscar nomination from this.A+

You choose this over The Godfather? Pity. If you compare These two movies, The Departed is nothing.

[The Stingray]

You talk too much man.

[Ozymandias]

Might be my favorite of the decade honestly.

What can I say, I prefer films with a quicker pace. I thought The Departed was a lot smarter as well.

It's funny when it wants to be funny and intense when it wants to be intense. Writing, directing, acting and most of the other stuff is top-notch and while it's not as good as Goodfellas, it's pretty damn close.

 

10/10

[Omario]

Scorsese at his best.

It's very entertaining, possibly Scorsese's best among the movies that made him famous. Dicaprio is surprisingly not annoying and very very good. 

 

Only major complaint is the frantic editing, the fast cutting style makes me exhausted. Prime example is the sequence where Farmiga just brought some of her stuff to Damon's apartment, about 70 minutes into the movie. It's his second movie to do this, the first was  TA. 75/100
