If you really think that the original was better, there is literally something wrong with the way your brain works. You are broken.
The original was a clumsy mess, with terrible acting on most parts (although of course Tsang Chi Wai was great).
It was good for a HK movie, because the movie industry has been dead there for years. But The Departed improves on it in literally every way one could possibly think of, unless you simply prefer Hong Kong actors over American actors.
And this is from someone who really enjoyed the original when it came out.
