It is overrated because so many people are so quick to put it in their top 5 of all-time. It's is no where even CLOSE to top 5 all-time. It's probably in the top 30, maybe even top 20, but no where close to top 5 like many so enthusiastically suggest.DeyDurkie5 wrote:Please explain how it is "overrated"Scarlet_Buckeye wrote: Good movie, but also one of the most overrated movies of all-time.

It's not top 5 of all time maybe but I think it's the best movie of the decade.

I LOVED the movie. Yet, it is not even in my top 10. After that, probably would put it into the top 25. Its tough when you combine action, crime/gangster, comedy, sports, etc into a single list.

The cast was pretty star studded and the acting was great. I'm not sure how I would rate, but I loved this movie also.Laley23 wrote: I LOVED the movie. Yet, it is not even in my top 10.

I could never watch it for the same reason. Finally ended up seeing it. Leo's performance was outstanding. This is one of the top movies ever. The acting is great. The story is awesome. It's just an all around great movie.GoChiefs wrote: I know I know...I've been meaning to...it's on my drive...but whenever I tell myself I'm going to watch it...I end up watching something else. LOL I guess it's just b/c I'm not a big fan of Leo.

Boris, if you're referring to the one with Richard Gere and Andy Garcia (about 15 or so years ago), it was a pretty good movie.BORIStheCrusher wrote: One of my favorites as well. I really want to see Internal Affairs, the movie The Departed was a remake of.

I think it's a Japanese movie on which The Departed is adapted.

No, was a Chinese movie from '02. I keep reading that it's much better than The Departed.Gardens35 wrote:Boris, if you're referring to the one with Richard Gere and Andy Garcia (about 15 or so years ago), it was a pretty good movie.BORIStheCrusher wrote: One of my favorites as well.
