If for nothing else than the technical wonders

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2001)

I agree, this movie has a completely weak plot, weak character development, weak screenwriting, weak direction (when it comes to actors, which is probably the most important aspect, but anyway...) if for nothing else, enjoy this film because of it's technical mastery. Right, by definition this is not a good film, however, you sometimes have to give in and just be, ya know, "blown away" by everything this film does right, even if it misses some of the most important elements. I don't know what a critic like Pauline Kael wrote about this film, but it was either one of two things: praised the craftsmanship, ignored the acting, etc., or, damned the whole film. Well, that's fine because a movie like "Titanic" will always be remembered for it's absolutely glorious special effects and amazing editing/cinematography. See the movie just to sit back and be truly entertained by Hollywood grandeur. 9.5/10 (technical achievement), 4/10 (most of the important stuff [acting and what have you]), 6.7... okay I'll give in! 7/10 (overall)
