It's Good, But Come On Everyone Went Overboard.

Rating: 6/10 (1 September 1999)

Now, this movie made over 1 Billion dollars, and I'm happy to say that not a single one of those dollars were mine.
I have seen it, but I saw it at a company preview, and I work at a video store, so free videos.
Now, don't get me wrong I enjoyed the movie, but the hype that went on over it and the out pour of praise for Leonardo DiCaprio, from fans that came out of the wood work, who really didn't appreciate Leo's previous and better work, such as This Boy's Life and The Basketball Diaries, now they were good movies.
Everyone was urged to see this movie, it was almost uncool not to have seen. If someone had asked you if you had seen it and you answered no, they thought you were crazy.
Well I decided to make a stand against it. This movie was pure Hollywood, no real story, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen with the love story, and I can't believe it made so much money, I mean everyone knew the ending............It sank.
If you are to watch it, make sure you watch an original copy with surround sound, or better yet see it on DVD.
Now I don't mean to sound harsh, but come on, it wasn't that good to warrant a billion dollars.
