Horrifically overrated...

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2008)

It seems to me that 11 Oscars for this film is appalling. For some reason the nomination board have agreed that Titanic is one of the most revolutionary films ever made...
Little seems to be asked of when watching this film, never really challenging the viewer, and ensuring that there is a distance kept between the film and the audience at all times. Whilst there are strong acting performances in it, Titanic seems to drag on with a short period of concentrated action and meaning.
Could this be the most overrated film in history? It certainly seems that although winning 11 Oscars (only second my Lord of the Rings: Return of the King) Titanic doesn't appear to earn more than about 3 of these, with a vast amount of money poured into a film that nominators seem obliged to award Oscars to. For me, however, what seems to be the most disappointing thing is the apparent agreement of the IMDb public, not seconding the Oscar polls, with the film not even entering the top 250...
