Overrated as much as the ship itself

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2000)

Is this the most overrated film ever?
Drawn-out, boring, predictable, uncreative and above all, unconvincing. Ah, little Kate and Leo, how sweet - are we really meant to believe it's 1912?

The bits that flank the main story with the Old Woman are superfluous and mind-numbingly banal, and the only real amusement value is when the people slide down the boat as it snaps in half.
Is this meant to be funny? tragic? romantic? original? historical? Because it isn't. Go watch Trading Places or Weekend at Bernies or Groundhog Day, or Derek Jarman's Blue, and learn what goes into making a real film.

Unfortunately the likes of Titanic will invariably appeal to the mainstream sentimentality of middle American/England/etc.
And why, when they've got that big hot boiler room on the boat, didn't they just melt the little Iceberg? Why did they take so long to sink? That old woman is the same character as Kate Winslet? *groan*
1/10 is overrating this bland, unconvincing Trout of a movie, frankly.
