I never hated a movie so much like "The Departed"
The main reason is because it was insanely praised by the media...when is complete garbage compared to the original.
1)
Original: the main character communicates with the only police officer who knows he is the mole via morse code.
Adaptation: Just uses a phone, pepega style
2)
Original: The "antagonist mole" is NEVER made a fool by the movie director. NEVER! He is made a genius and perfect in every way...he is like Kira in the anime Death note. Methodical, smart.
He is only made a fool ONCE and when it happens, the movie audience is supposed to find it extremely satisfying...because FINALLY he "loses" in something.
Adaptation: ROFLMAO, the antagonist mole is a complete fool. He is made fun in the entire movie...the main character even sleeps with his girl!!!!!
What in the actual F***! Even his body language in the movie is of a wimp. An absolute loser.
I have no idea what the movie director was thinking here!
3)
Original: The ending makes you cry and "Kira" (lets call him that) wins the game
Adaptation Both lose...double KO...both die...the most crap ending on the universe. Why? Just WHY? A cop...a cop kills the absolute wimp of an antagonist, Hitman-Assassin style.

Im sorry...but i have to say this..."if you prefer The Departed to Infernal Affairs...you simply have bad taste in movies"
Im so sorry but i get really heated on this topic.
I never hated a movie so much
Oscar for best Adaptation btw...
