Heat vs The Departed

[ShadowOfTheWave]

Well?

[Coma16]

Heat, but difficult to compare.

[bran]

love both movies but i give the edge to heat.

[wasted]

hard to compare. Heat is a masterpiece but Departed is more fun to watch. Heat is more sombre. Definitely both on my re-watch list with Natural Born Killers and American Gangster.

[Angelica]

Lol, Heat. No contest. Whatsoever.

[ZoSoRose]

Heat easily but I really like Departed. Heat is just too badass, the two best actors of their generation going at it.

you have to watch it. it is a long movie(close to 3 hours) but it is great.

Be careful when you will watch it, NOT this movie:

Anyway, I voted for The Departed... it has Jack Nicholson.

[Guest Len B'stard]

Heats alright but i prefer The Departed, the characters are more interesting, they draw you in more. Heat, though it's a good film, always has a sort of last hurrah feel to it, like a cinematic equivalent of papering over the cracks, neither Pacinos or De Niros performance was all that in Heat...and lets face it they've not really done shit since.

I have a bad history with Heat too, for one reason or another I hadn't seen it for many years, could never get round to it or I'd watch 20 mins and then get called away somewhere, i must've seen the first 20 mins of that film 5 times before i ever got round to watching it end to end so that can sometimes spoil a film for ya.

It's a remake of LA Takedown isn't it?

[wasted]

LA Takedown is better than Heat maybe.

I've got 5 dead bodies out on the highway I'm sorry the chicken got...burned.

When you're faced with a loaded gun, what's the difference?

For being almost 3 hours long, Heat was extremely watchable. Just well edited, acted, written. It was just a well done film.

The Departed was great too, had to go with Heat.

Ok now let me go ahead and reference this in every post I make for the next week.

Heat by a hair. Heat just has an all star cast....and they all did a heck of a job in it....(In the movie and acting... )

Spot on...both points are right where I stand.

Heat flows remarkably well for a 3 hour movie....well enough that I didn't remember it was 3 hours until you mentioned it.

[Nosaj Thing]

Heat is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love The Departed but... no.

[JONEZY]

The Departed. Never liked Heat. Too long, boring.

bad ass

This is brutal. When I first watched this on blu-ray my windows were trembling all around. The sound is incredible.
