Underrated, But Not The Best

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2006)

This movie obviously deserves to be in the Top 250. I'm surprised to see that 115,000 voters haven't enough sense to rate it higher than an 8. I'm sure it shouldn't be over 3 hours, but it does make good use of its screen time. It's in my Top 50, but I wish I could make myself not like it as much as I do. A 7.7 or 7.8, if it'll get it in the Top 250, but not very high up. This is one of the worst problems in the Top 250 right now. But it's the fact that it's a 7, not an 8, is my problem. It shouldn't really be high up. I would have totally different ideas to portray the Titanic. I'd still have a story centering around persons other than J. Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews and E.J. Smith. Although this movie does make good use of its time, I'd time it down an hour or so. My final rating: 8/10.
