Anyone seen The Departed yet?
 

Heard it was good from the only person I know that saw it, but want to make sure it's good before I invest 2.5 hours of life watching it.

Its a Scorsese film, it has to be worth seeing at least.

great acting ... good plot ... worth the 2.5 hours .

I am going to see it tomorrow :winkwink: can't wait

eeeeehmmmmm

I saw it opening weekend and thought it was excellent. It is a long movie but does not feel long or drag.

looks like a good movie to me

it's long but doesn't feel like it. overall a pretty good movie.

Incredible movie. Surely one of Scorcese's best. WELL worth the 2.5 hours

Yes, Lenny2 and I saw it last Sunday. We both enjoyed the movie.

nice story.. nice movie.. :thumbsup

My girl was talking about it last night... she's was gonna surprise me

it looks good

it was too long, real bloody, lots of surprises. it should get some nominations when oscars time comes

It sucked. Amazing how poor movies are now a days. Cannot hold a candle to the classics.

I thought it was awesome, definatly worth going out and seeing. They overdid the accents though =( (you have to be from boston to pick up on this)

It looks good I think I may go this weekend and see it or wait for ppv I've yet to decide

I departed in my pants

I liked it alot.... there is so much crap that comes out - the best I've seen in awhile.... (only gone to the movies 2-3 times in the last year)...

yes i heard it was really good!

Definitely worth your money, dude. Could be Leonardo Dicaprio's Oscar winning performance. :thumbsup

Great film. This year's blockbuster will be tomorrow's classic for sure. :thumbsup

great movie!!

Haven't seen it but can't wait to!

I will say it for the third time....

It was one of the best movies i have seen this year.

Loved it.

Think we are gonna check it out this weekend...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. This flick did not deliver for me. Sure, it had an all-star cast, but the plot was a similar to a beefed-up episode of Law and Order mixed with Training Day + Deep Cover. I wouldn't want to see it again. I give it 3/5 stars.

It was good. But not as good as I thought it would be. The ending was pretty crazy but I wasn't impressed with some of the acting.

i liked it

could have done without a baldwin in it =]

It's good but not great. It has a couple of flaws.

I have no problems with extreme violence in a film if it adds to the story/characters, if it has a purpose in otherwords (ie "Scarface"). But Scorcese is a flawed director because he likes to add extreme violence for no good reason at all (he really should see a shrink). "Gangs of New York", for example, was just fucking disgusting. In "The Departed" there is a scene (I won't give it away) where out of the blue there is a burst of extreme violence three times in rapid succession. It was stupid, classic, recent Scorcese. In the theater I was in, people actually laughed out loud at the absurdity of the scene - not the reaction the director intended I think.

And there is a scene with deCaprio and Nicholson where, I read, Nicholson did some improvising involving a gun that wasn't supposed to be in the scene. You could easily tell which scene it was. The scene is out of place and doesn't work. With all due respect to Nicholson, the director should have put his foot down and had it redone properly, but instead it ended up in the film.

So it's flawed, but decent.

Addendum: I implied that Scorcese directed "Scarface", which is wrong - a brain breakdown on my part - that was de Palma.

I agree with that scene. First it was "holy fuck!" and then everyone laughed after the 1st one.

Alot of the characters over acted in my opinion...

Baldwin, Nicholson, Walberg...

Another thing was the characters didn't change throughout the movie (same emotion & dialogue)

saw it last night. Great Movie, Unbelieveable Ending!

Great movie, dont miss it.
