Not even the best of the 54

Rating: 5/10 (19 June 2003)

This film was richly undeserving of the Best Picture Oscar in 1997. It wasn't the first film about Titanic to win an Oscar, nor the best. There are so many plot holes in this film that even an amateur cinematographer could critique it. The historical continuity was horrid. The only bright spots in the cast were Cate Blanchett and Bernard Fox. Leonardo DiCaprio had yet to grow into a degree of maturity as an actor and delivered a lackluster performance as Dawson.
