Return to the good ol' movie experience.

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 1998)

Every man and his dog's had his say on 'Titanic' so I'll keep this short and sweet.
What's great: 1) The ultra-realistic sets. 2) Combination of action and romance into one. 3) All the different forms of special effects. 4) The underrated score, which is so hauntingly appropriate.
What's good: 1) Leo was surprisingly creditable. 2) Billy Zane made us all hate his guts so well. 3) Kathy Bates was a bastion of pragmatism. 4) Kate Winslet acted well, but I wish she would smile more.
What's bad: 1) The iceberg looked like styrofoam. 2) The script was way too simplistic. 3) Gloria Stuart did not look 100+. 4) How can a 100+ woman climb up on railings? 5) The length - cut out the 1990s treasure-hunter bit!
Nonetheless, 'Titanic' reminded us all of what an experience going to the movies used to be but so rarely is these days. 8.5 out of 10.
