Good Special effects alone do not make a good movie...

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2003)

Reading through the comments I see alot of people saying stuff like "I wanted to see a ship sink, so shallow characters did not matter." Come on people, sitting through 2 hours of poor dialog just to see 10 minutes of nice special effects is no excuse for giving this movie anything more then a rating of 2 or 3 (4 if you are generous). A movie should be judged on the sum of all of its components. While the special effects in this movie would warrant an 8 or 9, the characters sucked, the plot was quite lame, and the movie was slow up until the boat sank. I regret wasting 2 hours of my life on this movie, and wish that I could have walked in on the last 10 minutes, rather then sat through it. The things men do for our girlfriends...
