Terrible and too long...

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 1999)

I wish someone would tell me what made this such a box office hit with it's rich people bad, poor people good theme. I would also like to know why it took 3 hours to tell this story, the movie was outrageously slow in most parts. The acting was also terrible, and there was no visible chemistry that existed between DiCaprio and Winslet. I have liked DiCaprio in other works i.e. Man in the Iron Mask and I think he has a bright future. The only decent character was Kathy Bates, playing the part of a Nevus Riche socialite.
The scenes where they show the boat on the water look very fake. I would hate to see what Cameron paid to make these scenes. Also, how did DiCaprio survive for that long in sub-freezing waters?
This movie would be great if you were a 13 year old girl who has never had exposure to good film. On an adult level however I am surprised at the fact that many people liked it because there are many more films out there that are much worthier of praise than this piece of fluff.
