Not worthy of eleven Oscars, but still...

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2003)

Although "Titanic" was praised as one of the greatest movies of all time, it was also the costliest, which may have accounted for the eleven Oscars it received in 1998. "Titanic" was NOT the greatest movie of all time, but neither was it a complete disaster. The acting was atrocious, especially from the horribly miscast DiCaprio (who made up for this AND "Romeo + Juliet" in 2002's "Catch Me if you Can"). Additionally, the love story was not very gripping. For me, the reason why I would have given Titanic an Oscar for Best Picture would be the last hour of the movie, which was breath-taking, tear-jerking, and very, very well done. The fact is, everyone knows how a movie called "Titanic" will end- the boat will sink, and people will die. But that last hour... it really made me feel as if I was on that ship, and I felt the horror around me as it sank.
