Titanic must be turning in it's grave

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2006)

For the life of me I still don't get why people like this film. It's got nearly every type of film cliché(rich girl falls in love with boom town rat, hmmm, original!), and THAT song. Near far, wherever you are, Celine Dion's song irritates the hell out of me. I think if you're going to make a film about Titanic, make a film about Titanic, not some annoying couple. I like romantic movies, don't get me wrong, but this is too cheesy and simple, which love invariably isn't.
In it's defence though, I would like to comment on the fact that the special effects department did a splendid job, but unfortunately I like my films to have a good and varied plot which this film totally lacks.
The Titanic was a great ship, ahead of it's time and was a icon of it's time, which makes this film an absolute travesty as it doesn't do Titanic's memory any justice.
