Greatest Film ever?

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2000)

I've just read some of the readers comments on this and it amazes me how this film can receive so much praise!
Technologically I would say the film is very good and this is perhaps its strongest point - the fact that a film has been made which visually shows the grandeur and impressiveness of Titanic and conveys in a relatively effective way how amazing it would have been in 1912.
Having said that - does anyone really care about the fate of Kate and Leo in the film ? Their acting is terrible... and I think they are both extremely talented - this may be because of the difficult circumstances surrounding the shoot or because of Mr Difficult himself - James Cameron. The plot is non-existent... how can you invent a story around the sinking of the Titanic?. And there is far too much inconsistency throughout for a Director who spent millions on real crystal chandeliers and real china 'Titanic' plates.....
It was a travesty that this beat LA Confidential at the Oscars when LA Confidential has brilliant acting by all concerned and a plot that actually keeps you
