The Departed vs. Infernal Affairs
 

So yesterday I bought the Infernal Affairs trilogy boxset, and today I finally managed to grab The Departed.

Now, I havent seen any of these movies. They both sound great, but the only reason I really want to see IA is because I really want to see Departed. My Question: Which should I watch first?

Im not asking for which you think is the better movie (though feel free to include your opinion), just which one I should watch first. Im mostly looking forward to The Departed - how would I enjoy it the most? By watching it before or after the original?

Im thinking before, but just wanted to hear some opinions.

I wish I could help you, but I have yet to see Infernal Affairs.

I don't think you'd have a problem watching The Departed first, especially with the Academy Awards coming up soon.

You'll probably enjoy The Deprated more if you watch it first. But I hate the idea of watching the remake before the original. hey're both fine films, the Departed is just more accessible and has better acting.

but why? why? did he use Gimme Shelter again? Goodfellas, Casino and now this... really weak choice

I've only seen Infernal affairs.

Found it quite confusing.


I'm almost certain that i will like The Departed better, when i get to see it.



So the question is, do you think, if you start with The Departed, that you will ever get around to see Infernal affairs, hmm?

Sadly I have seen none of the above.:(

Sammo hung.

hehehe.. That's a funny name. :D

I heard Sammo was Hung, or at least thats what master told me..........:D

Sorry, no.Never even heard of it.

I thought Departed was tons better than IA, but IA is still pretty great. I'd say watch the original first

i loved infernal affairs.....but i love andy lau....so im bias
