Re: The Departed: Martin Scorsese\'s new film
[ QUOTE ]
I thought that the original fleshed out a few of the relationships better (Sheen and Leo's relationship didn't seem as good as the original duo in my eyes)

Yea, this is probably my only beef with the film(and the body count being a lot larger). I definetly dug that Nicholson's part was jacked up from IA and I liked seeing how Leo's character got involved in that scene. Granted I didn't see the other two IAs so I don't know if it was addressed in either of them and scorsese added it into this one. I would've liked it a bit more if Damon's character and Leo's character had crossed paths a few times like Tony Leung's and Andy Lau's. What was key though is that scorsese took 2 1/2 hrs for this while IA was ~100 minutes iIRC so he could develop several plot points that were sped up in IA
