Overall not a great year for film, something had to be at the top and after much debate(in my head) and multiple viewings of the top films, Dragon Tattoo won out.

The Departed (2006)
Boo could've been better
Personally I went to this movie not even knowing what it was about, I knew who was in, but knew nothing about it or the hype(if there was any??). The movie never hit the spot it should of, the idea was there, but I kept waiting for something to grab me and make me want to scream out yes. I then saw the credits rolling and thought to myself why, not only should it have ended 30 minutes ago, but since the movie insisted on continuing, why didn't something better happened that would give me my YES.
Not only did it not fulfill what I needed, but Matt Damon's character just seemed to dumb to me, and in the lead role thats not something you want. It wasn't his acting that I didn't like, he's a good actor, but he just didn't come off as a bright person. I also cannot believe his character could get a way with what he does for so long.
Now I know this movie is a serious movie, or supposed to be, but the characters kept cracking jokes lightening the mood, for whatever reason, I just never could take the movie seriously. I also couldn't take the ending seriously, but I'm sure some people loved it(it wasn't very clever). I always thought I'd love an ending like this one, but not from this movie.
Marky Mark also needed to be in the movie more, he was hilarious in it and should have been a bad ass too, but just didn't have a big enough part to make his mark.
Go see the movie or don't and you'll probably love it, but after seeing the first 10 minutes or so I expected a lot more. If you give me or anybody the set up to this movie, I'm sure we all could have wrote a movie as good as this one it would be different, but just as entertaining, it was the idea that made this movie watchable the plot just never went in the right direction.
