why do so many hate this movie?

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2003)

Someone needs to write a dissertation on the audience reaction to this movie. When it came out, almost everyone loved it and many people saw it multiple times, yet after it won the Oscars, suddenly you weren't cool unless you hated Titanic with a passion. I don't understand this at all. Maybe it was too successful for its own good, or maybe it was just Cameron's a-hole acceptance speech, but the way the audience has flip-floped on this film is amazing. Personally, I think it's a great movie. The dialogue is bad, but otherwise there's nothing terrible about it. If you don't like it, I can see rating it at 6 or so, but how could over 7,000 people truly believe Titanic deserves a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10? I mean, COME ON!
