This year's Titanic

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 1999)

This is this year's Titanic - thoroughly undeserving of many of its Oscars - especially Best Picture.
Anyone who can even say that this was up to the standard of Saving Private Ryan with a straight face needs help.
It was a good movie but nowhere near Ryan. This was just a bit of lighthearted fun, nothing more. This was telling a story for the sake of telling one. Saving Private Ryan had a reason.
One argument last year as to why Titanic won best picture over the critic's choice of L.A Confidential, was that Titanic told a human story. Well so did Saving Private Ryan, (and a hell of a lot better than Titanic might I add)
This was a fun movie but over-rated, over-hyped and over-rewarded.
Steven has every right to feel cheated.
