Surprisingly good love story, and great special effects!

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2003)

Okay, as the hype for this movie built up, I was eagerly awaiting to see it. I mean, $200 million to MAKE a movie!??! But, being a major James Cameron fan, I couldn't wait to see how he sank that ship. So, for the first two hours, I watch this love story develop, anticipating the sinking. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the story was entertaining, and it really did not get in the way. Then, BOOM! The ship hit the iceberg, and the technical side of Cameron came out. I was so impressed with the camera angles, the sound, and the visualization of the sinking. This movie became so popular that it probably created a backlash by people who just can't stand to join the majority (well, news for you, you're still joining a group!), but I still enjoy watching this movie.
