Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (29 October 1999)

Many of my friends have bought Titanic now that it is available on videocassette, yet I have only seen it once. I believe that this movie is horribly overrated. I am not saying that I did not enjoy the movie, because I did. It was a very interesting account of the lives of two central people aboard the Titanic, one of the worst disasters in history. The real excitement hit when the boat hit the iceberg. The movie kept my attention from then on out. Many people say that this movie is the best movie ever created. I beg to differ. In my opinion, the best movie ever made is Gone With the Wind. You just can't compare to such an epic. Titanic doesn't even come close. When you really boil the movie down, it merely is a dressed up romance with an action/adventure tagged onto it. It is a very exciting movie, but I prefer to see it only once, and it does not compare to the classic old movies which have stood the test of time.
