could've been killer

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2002)

I watched this movie with my father on video. When Jack started commenting on the dolphins, he left, saying: "If this is the quality of dialogue, I'm going." That about sums it up, really. It was a good idea, and a terrible delivery. In want of severe editing, better writing, and more convincing actors, Titanic was probably the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. With a well-respected cast, (Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, and Kathy Bates, to name a few) 14 Oscar nominations, and 11 wins, I was expecting a beautiful tale of star-crossed lovers and ill-fated voyages. And it could have been that. But unnecessary scenes, uninteresting dialogue, and wooden performances hindered what could have been an amazing movie.
