    Is this a "dude" movie?? I heard it was SOOOOOOOOO good...but it looks like something boys would be into more than chicks.

    well depends on what you define as dude movie... if you had to shut your eyes when watching fight club or goodfellas... then yes stay away...

    but as a chick i will say this movie rocks...

    ps- i sang the dropkick murphys song for hours after i saw it

    I didn't think The Departed was anything special.

    I'm not a huge fan of violence but CSI has sort of desensitized me. I always like a good story, though.

    maybe good mob movies just aren't your thing then.
    I take it you probably didn't like Goodfellas?

    great movie,great direction, and great perfomances...
    jack nicholson is hilarious, what a old bastard, dicapro keeps surprising me in every movie, marky too.... with the exception of matt damon, he,s the same non-charismatic actor in every fuckin movie....

    the departed was really good almost good as Goodfellas or casino...
    martin scorsese must have won a few years ago with any of his movies: taxi driver, the aviator,casino,goodfellas,etx.....

    I thought it was a great movie except that big plot hole towards the end. Otherwise, great entertainment with great acting.

    OK so I watched it today. It wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. Didn't think it should have beat out Babel, though.

    what he said. there were some moments of cringe-worthiness from some of the people in the movie, but for the most part, the main players got it right. keep in mind, wahlberg and damon are both from mass. the movie fit boston, and mass. to a t. a lot of insulting going on between characters, back and forth, which i found to be hilarious, and very relatable like myself between friends.

    You're right. I'm not a big fan of Goodfella's either. I liked Mean Streets, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, but apart from that I don't know what all the fuss is about really. In fact nothing since Raging Bull has really interested me.

    Edit: The King Of Comedy was also a good un!

    What? Even Ray Winstone's? I thought it was one of his worst performances. He was far superior in The Proposition, which I happen to think is a better movie aswell.

    Just saw it this weekend. Loved the movie. Liked Dicaprio more than I thought I would too. (I like his work, but I wanted to root for Damon) Decent ending, but I must say I was happy it turned out how it did.

    Not sure why dicaprio gets such a bad rap. I think a lot of people can't get over his titanic hearthrob role. He's a tremendous actor though. I hope he and scorcese continue to work together.
