Fantastic moviebut the ending has dragged it down

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2006)

Overall this is a really great movie. Acting, storytelling, characters development The Departed got a lot of good stuffs that gave this movie such a high score at this website.
I believe most people can tell all the good parts about this movie from other people's comment, and personally I agree with most of them. Therefore I will just focus on the part that I have different comments with most other people.
Yes I have seen the original before, and I might be a little bit biased here, but for me everything is nicely done in this movie except the ending. Of course there are different styles for directors, so some scenes might be more effective than the original, some might not. But I found the ending for The Departed especially lacks of depth. Where I am not just simply comparing the ending with the original. I am just commenting on the ending of The Departed by itself.
Seriously, the ending feels like a comedy, it kind of ruined everything that this movie has tried to development in the first 2 hours. It feels like "okay the movie has to end now so let's just blow everybody's heads off".
When people began to get shot in the head near the end, most people in the theater began to laugh out really really badly. It is just too sudden and has no emotion. Bang! Bang! Bang!, okay now they are all dead and we don't really care. The only sentence I wanted to say to my friend when I was walking out of the theater was the sentence that they have abused during the entire movie: "what the xxxx".
In conclusion, I think The Departed is a great movie before it reaches the end. The ending really has disappointed me a lot, and that's why I only give it 5/10.
