Can you say "Cheese!"?

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2000)

I hate this movie. I hate its shallow, sentimental love story. I hate the way it caters to the teenybopper set. I hate its poorly portrayed, one-dimensional characters. I hate its length. I hate its inane sub-plots. The whole story around the jewel was useless and contrived. I hate the way that it chose to focus on two teenagers in love, while relegating the tragedy of the deaths of some many people to the background. It spends three hours trying to build sympathy for the Rose and Jack characters, while almost completely forgetting the real tragedy behind the story. I hate its attention to detail, while forgetting to pay attention to the PLOT. There was a reason that the script and Leo DiCaprio weren't nominated for an Oscar: they sucked. This film won the Best Picture Oscar by popular demand of teen girls, not on its own merits. It is the worst Best Picture winner ever, and is good deal crappier than many films that weren't even nominated. Put this dud in space and you've got Armageddon. Feh!
