Who Has Seen The Departed

Did anyone go to the theater to watch the new release The Departed with Jack Nicholson? I saw it and thought it was great!

I didn't make it but 2 of my roomies did and they absolutely loved it.

I'm a bit afraid to see it after watching Infernal Affairs for fear that Scorcese's version of the story won't live up to the standard of awesomeness set by IA.

Can anyone here comment on relative quality of the two?
