Why I think this movie is as loved by millions as it is....

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 1998)

Okay, okay. We've all seen Titanic. There are so many reasons that I like this movie, and I'll share them. I have seen Titanic 5 times to date, and enjoyed it every time. I've read some of your comments (not all of them, there are 90 or so!) and to all those people who think this movie is *****... It seems to me as maybe some of the people who write here claiming "Worst movie I've ever seen" are really just crying for attention as the "guy who HATED Titanic". I think James Cameron did a fantastic job with this, but the question still remains, why did EVERYONE see this Titanic and not any of the long list of Titanic movies? Some people would say Leonardo, and I agree he does draw crowds, some would argue the special effects, and again these were great, but the real reason is that James Cameron made the movie with something in it for everyone. For the ladies, Leo, for the men, Kate, for the sadists, lotsa people being frozen, for the historians, an (almost) perfect recreation of the Titanic, for the women who love a good tear-jerker, the tragic story of Jack and Rose, for the music lovers, a fantastic score by James Horner, for everyone who likes a bit of action, the intense edge-of-your-seat last hour. There truly is a reason for absolutely everyone to see this movie. For all those people who don't fit into any of the above categories, you've seen it too, why? Because you've heard about how god-damn good it is, and rent it. It is a perfect example of brilliant marketing. My absolute congratulations go to James Cameron. You made everyone in the world see your movie, and you reap the benifits.
