what can I say

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2000)

what can I say? Honestly I think the movie ran a little too long when it took the ship three hours to sink. I wasn't particularly sorry when the sinking part is over but sort of glad that I didn't have to remain in my seat any longer. The love story is too saccharine to to have any substance. Although I agree with some of the reviews that the movie has its merits, some of the supporting roles and scenes are touching and the cinematography is pretty good, with a multi-billion dollar budget and three hour run time, a movie better be magnificent both in cinematography and story development. James Cameron spent way too much money, time and focus on making a grand picture and neglected characters and story development. For the very reason, Titanic will not collect the kind of fame a multi-billion dollar film is supposed to bring. So on the whole I think the money could've been well spent elsewhere both for the movie-goers and James Cameron.
Two great movies in this category are worth seeing, Gone with the Wind and Gladiator.
