Just saw The Departed again...

[grohl]

I say, yes, deserving of best picture.

Kept my attention throughout...and DeCaprio should have deserved the best actor nod over Nicholson.

Nicholson wasn't nominated for best actor this year. Dicaprio was nominated for Blood Diamond. Forest Whitaker won for "Last King Of Scotland".


2007 Academy Award nominations/winners

I still don't get how DiCaprio didn't win for The Aviator.

 

[grohl]

My bad. He is a good actor, damn his good looks.

 

[Accipiter22]

great movie, seen it about 3 or 4 times now, I'd see it again

 

[SpanishFry]

just watched it again tonight. what was the significance of the golden dome? I know it was the state house. was that a nod to Matt Damon's ambitions?

WHAT ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE FITNESS FREAKS? GO FVCK YOURSELF.




great film.

 

[zylander]

Absolutely loved that movie. In face, I think ill order it on amazon right now .

 

[JS80]

are you kidding? the 3rd act was a disaster and the love story made no fvcking sense.

 

[rival]

I thought this was a good movie, but not great, too predictable, you cant tell me you didnt know all of that would happen.

 

[imported_Devine]

It had one hell of an ending

 

[Printer Bandit]

Roger Waters, Van Morrison & The Band - Comfortably Numb :thumbsup:

 

[Red Dawn]

It was good and was the best Movie this year but it paled in comparison to other Scorsese Movies like Good Fellas, the Aviator, Gangs of New York, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Color of Money and Casino.

 

[rstrohkirch]

I'll give you most of the ones you mentioned, but Cape Fear and Gangs of New York...ehhhhhhh

 

[imported_cheapdude]

This movie does not warrant a second viewing, I prefer watching the Infernal Affairs trilogy.

That it did! Lots of violence. Even my wife liked it, but I think she only liked it because of the eye candy.

Infernal Affairs 2, and 3 got kinda boring. Same kinda stuff over and over again. 1 was great though, I liked it better than The Departed.

Watching The Departed is like reading the cliff notes of a good book.

Well I thought the ending of The Departed was weak, if not for that I would agree with you about Cape Fear. Personally I thought Gangs of New York was head and shoulders better than The Departed. Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sick of this "Infernal Affairs is better" nonsense.

If you don't speak Cantonese, reading subtitles is not a viable way to watch a film and truly understand what is going on.

 

[Genx87]

Good movie but I felt Casino and Good Fella's were better.

 

[spacejamz]

maybe it was the hype, but when we saw this when it came out on DVD, we were disappointed. The first hour was extremely slow and the movie and very predictable.

I guess to each his own then...
