Thought Goodfellas was '89, but post that there is a lot of crap certainly more than enough to make me doubt his next movie will be a good one. And Departed's a garbage remake, only marginally better than his awful version of Cape Fear.

yeah, no, it's pretty much indisputable that the departed is superior to infernal affairs - AiSF disagreeing is just proof of this
― FUCKIN 'TALLICA BRO (cankles), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
But even if you think its better than original, it's still a incredibly lame movie.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
nah, it's true, IA is pretty corny and inconsistent and has that dumbass way it tries to get around how the two leads wouldn't recognize each other (i.e. both of them apparently having had insane plastic surgery between their academy days and the present). it's still good and the acting is awesome, though, don't get me wrong. but IA 2 tramples all over it (and possibly tramples all over the departed as well).
― enbba champions (omar little), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Agree that IA2 >>> IA >>> Departed.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:10 (fourteen years ago) link
no way it owned
it was the first movie of his since goodfellas that i would characterize as a crowd pleaser
lemme quote this michael mann article from the public enemies thread
One former studio chairman told me that he can imagine what the movie’s problems are without having seen it, based on Mann’s previous work. “It’s going to take itself too seriously, it’s going to be way too long and it will not focus on entertaining the audience,” he says. “Michael Mann, in the past 15 years, has not made one movie I’ve liked.”
the departed was focused on entertaining the audience, not like that lame gay WAVE OF THE FUTURE shit or the fukkin gangs of jew york
― FUCKIN 'TALLICA BRO (cankles), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:11 (fourteen years ago) link

― FUCKIN 'TALLICA BRO (cankles), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:14 (fourteen years ago) link
Pretty sure I won't be trusting anonymous studio execs opinions on movies, but I do generally agree with that assessment of Michael Mann who I pretty much can't stand.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 21:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i agree with it completely even tho i like mann a lot

Cryptosicko and Josh: as I watched Kingsley's dreary explanatory scene, Psycho was exactly what I thought of--even wondered if Scorsese was partly parodying the Simon Oakland scene, like De Palma did in Dressed to Kill. Actually, I thought Kingsley and von Sydow were pretty good in this--they at least seem to be having fun. DiCaprio's terrible.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 23:11 (ten years ago) link
this felt like scorsese wanting to do some kind of absurd OTT project on a whim, just for kicks. Which is nice when you're able to do that on this kind of budget.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Wednesday, 22 January 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link

I dunno... I didn't love the film but a lot of it was because the denouement was so rushed it became preposterous. A whole series set on a strange island could be cool. Maybe they could strip all the characters of names and just give them numbers or something....
