It's good, but not as good as everyone makes it out to be

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 1998)

Everyone seems to be gushing on about Titanic, how it's the best movie ever made and so on, but I think, though it was good, it was definitely NOT the best movie of all time. There were some good points and some bad points, but what I thought was boring was the usual plot-line, guy and gal fall in love, one's rich, the other's poor and the family doesn't approve. The best thing I liked about this movie was the actual sinking (The first question I asked when I watched it was, "When is the ship going to sink?") Leo DiCaprio didn't act to the highest of his ability, I thought he was better in Romeo and Juliet, and Kate Winslet was just marginally better. Cameron definitely is a great director and the photography and special effects were superb (Though I think spending 600 million to build your own mini version of the ship was a BIT expensive) I loved the music for the movie and I thought the soundtrack was one of the best things worth buying.
