An OK film, ... up until then ...

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2014)

"SPOILER ALERT!" OK, ready for it? Here it comes:
The ship sinks!
I know, bummer, right? :-( I think maybe James Cameron was up against a deadline and ran out of time to write and film a more believable ending. So he took the easy way out and just sank the ship. ( Oh, please. Hits an iceberg? Like THAT could really happen. Sheesh, give us a break! )
All in all an OK film, ... up until then. But the ending is a real downer (or is that 'drowner'?) Maybe the "Titanic 2" sequel will be better; or at least Cameron could release a "Director's Cut Edition" without the total buzz-kill ending.
It's a wonder that any movie studio considered this film 'commercial', given the near absence of explosions and car crashes? There are only a couple of explosions in the whole movie ( ship's boilers, yawn ...), and there are no car crashes at all. In fact, the closest thing to a car crash is an antique car in the ship's hold, with the two lead actors in a little steam-up-the-windows backseat action. Seriously, I'm not kidding! ( palm to forehead, shake head and groan "CLICHE' ALERT!" ) ... They LITERALLY "steam-up the windows". Good grief!
Fortunately there is some gratuitous nudity; although the actress exposing her 'lady-bits' clearly weighs-in at well over 100 pounds, ... and I think we all would agree that's just wrong!!! In the "Director's Cut Edition" Cameron should Photoshop a few pounds off the actress, and redo that scene in 3-D ( and maybe the 'nekkid' actress could be painted blue, and sport pointy ears and a tail! )
And it would be great if Cameron could add a parallel storyline that the lead character, "Jack", is actually the great-grandfather of John Connor, and at the last possible moment great-grandson Connor, hotly pursued by a homicidal cyborg Terminator, travels back in time through a wormhole, lands on the foredeck of Titanic and fires a couple of missiles and blows up the iceberg.
Small pieces of iceberg rain down all over the deck, and it's celebratory on-the-rocks cocktails for everyone! Cue the music, ... fade to black. Now THAT would make for a 'commercial' Hollywood film. :-)
