Way too melodramatic

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2005)

This is the best of the sappy melodramatic films to come out in the past years, but it is still not that great of a movie. I cannot stand Billy Zane's character. He is such a stereotypical rich guy, it makes me sick. No this is not a bad movie, but it is not great and did not deserve the academy award over LA Confidential, but that is not why I am giving it 6 out of 10. I think this movie lost a point just by making it seem like it was Rose/Jacks fault that the Titanic sunk, remember when the watch guards are not doing their job and watching Jack and Rose make out instead of looking for icebergs, they make it seem like they were partially responsible for it. I must admit Kate Winslet is gorgeous in this movie, but it does not make up for it.
