How dare you call this film good?!

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 1998)

The main reason why I watched this was simple-I wanted to see how Hollywood can waste close on $300 million on a film. After leaving the cinema I thought they had wasted all this amount on some tripe, and I said to myself-what could they have done to help some poverty stricked country. The plot itself was one of the weakest of 1997, the leads were cardboard characters and the dialogue made me want to get up and slap them all crazy. The computer generated graphics were so obvious, esp. when they did overhead shots of the ship sailing through the ocean (polygon people anyone?). Still however there are always good sides to every bad thing, and the sinking of the ship was a feast for the eyes. It was almost like you were there! The details on the whole were very accurate and the costumes were gorgeous. The ending was very sad, and gave a human face to the tragedy, but it didn't erase the first three-quarters. It's an average film at best, and a Leo DiCaprio trailer/James Cameron ego satisfier, and DOES NOT deserve all the accolades it has gathered.
