You trash it because it sank. Real mature.

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2007)

The first time I watched this movie... I just got so emotional. I'd always liked the whole idea of the Titanic and I really enjoyed the film. I love the costumes and the set, and I really fell in love with Kate Winslet's acting. Leonardo DiCaprio, too, did a great job, and the special effects seem pretty good for 1997.
I can't, however, really seem to understand how people can hate this movie. It's Titanic... people hate the Titanic because it sank, failed, when it was supposedly "unsinkable"... get your facts straight, NONE of the builders at Harland and Wolff, White Star Line, ANYBODY, called it unsinkable. "Practically Unsinkable", YES, plain "unsinkable", no, and it "was the name unsinkable that caught people's imaginations".
It's just so horrible to hear that people watch it (and sometimes like it), but don't want to admit it. It's childish, stupid, and utterly pointless to waste that energy you could be using for something else.
Great movie, definitely worth watching for 3 hours.
