The Departed
 

A true masterpiece from Scorsese.

Wonderful film, if you have not seen it - go!

Rannoch :D

The Departed

Here I sit,
Broken hearted,
Wanted to watch a good film,
And saw The Departed :(


:lol1:

Will do:thumb:
I've read some excellent reviews:)

Sorry mate - I forgot about you - I know that being politically correct and all that I should not put posts up that might discriminate against those who might not be able to follow the joined up sentences and intelligent plot twists :)

phew... you've lost me there... all that joined up stuff an' all.... jeez, that's deep...... :wonder:

:)

yes awesome film

Can't wait to see this - gonna have to go this weekend now.

Great film, genuinely tense. Scorsese even manages to wrestle a good performance out of the usually wooden Mark Wahlberg.

Nicholson's performance is a gem

Geezer

If you like this guys have a look at the HK version from which The Departed bought the script from, its called Infernal Affairs

Thought it was OK, but it was no masterpiece! Mean Streets and Goodfellas are two of my favourite films, so I was looking forward to Scorsese getting back to form, but think this could have been much, much better!

I thought Nicholsons character was a bit of a joke, didn't make any sense and was hampered by lazy scriptwriting and lazy character development, although I thought he acted what he was given well! The whole build up scenarios were quick and cheap, and it all just played out as a bit simple, I thought. Everything was spelt out so obviously, very Americanised, sadly.....

There was no suspense and no twist (apart from a randomly injected character near the end) everything was fairly obvious..... :Whatever_

Infernal Affairs was a good movie. This was an ok movie. With the cast and story it could have been in the top ten crime movies ever made....... :(

totally disagree
spell binding cinematography even on my ickle 90 inch screen it looked amazing
i will deffo buy the hd dvd when it drops

:nono: :nono: Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't paid full price to see it at the cinema? ;)

I would watch this, but i cant stand that **** DiCaprio

I can't wait to see it http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70...lies/hyper.gif Lots of sexy men and a good film :thumb: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70...lies/hyper.gif

or maybe you might have understood i was talking about the high res trailer playing on my media centre you smug opionated prick:nono::nono::nono::nono::nono:

and after watching the FULL film tonight
i take back my original comment
it was pants of the highest order
my fault for
a, seeing hundreds of films a year and being discerning
b, not being able to get past leonardo being "hard"
sorry it was a overblown channel 5 film with woefully miscast actors in none believeable parts
and dont get me started on winstones accent or nicholsons over acting
terrible

I can't be bothered with him either, but i've got to admit he wasn't too bad in this.

thought it was really good. dont like leo but he was very good.

some of you guys read into stuff too much. it was a great show!

personally i thought leonardo was good in this (i always thought he was crap) but the film was a bit predictable to much un-necessery swearing and violence
my opinion of course but it could of been better

I cant stand DiCaprio either -- BUT - I didnt realise it was him 'til I left the cinema and my girlfriend told me who it was..!! thought he played a good part

Also - thought Winston was brill...........................

thought it was excellent, little twists at the end :thumb:

Well you didn't say that! You think I'm a f cuking mind reader?

And you chose to ignore my wink, you thick ****!

WTF is a "media centre" you pretentious tool? Very impressed that you have a projector and a DVD player!!! :luxhello: :sleep:

Oh, and you changed your mind anyway........... :hjtwofing :cuckoo:

I thought all of the acting was good, and the actors worked well with the script, albeit a corny, simplistic one. The characters were poor, but were well acted, IMO....

YOU SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT A MEDIA CENTRE IS?????????????

VisiCentre - Media Centre PCs

Thought the film was great. Really enjoyed it!

Saw it over here last week (im in NYC at the mo)

Fantastic film
popular too- theater was sold out even midweek!

Well worth seeing

Saw this tonight and very very disappointed.

Ok plot, awful delivery and character developent. Shows how much film making standards have dropped for this to be even considered a good film.

Doesn't get anywhere near the likes of goodfellas, godfathers, heat etc.

Also thought it was all very predictable.

chop :(
