Nah. Saw The Departed. Liked it, but it wasn't a great film, particularly where a Scorsese film is concerned.
A great Scorsese film--and a great film at that--resonates.
You walk away from the theater thinking about the characters for weeks. They take on a life of their own in your head because they're compelling (ex. the characters in Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Last Temptation of Christ).
The Departed, and again great action movie--probably haven't seen a better action movie in years--was not a great film. It was enormously entertaining, though. My opinion, anyway.
