Greatest Silent Movie Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2000)

If you haven't already seen this movie RUN, do not walk, to the movie store and rent it. The catch - watch it with the sound muted. The special effects and cinematography are brilliant. The costumes and characters look stunning. But the dialogue, acting and plot (aside from the ship sinking of course)? Argggh!! My favorite part occurs when DiCaprio is handcuffed to a pipe, trapped on one of the lower decks, as water is rushing in all around him. "This could be serious," he exclaims. No s**t, Sherlock. Even putting aside any personal animosity you may feel towards Leo, it soon becomes apparent that ALL the acting is atrocious. If they spent God knows how many hundreds of millions for the movie, they might have bothered to get a writer and a couple of actors.
