Not as wonderful as everyone thinks...

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 1998)

The first time I saw Titanic I was swept away (no pun intended) by the emotion of it. I cried many tears. I claimed it was one of the best movies I'd seen. Then I saw it a second time. Let me set the scene: About 5 months after I saw Titanic the first time I'm in an airplane on a 5 hour flight. Bing! the intercom goes on annoucing that the inflight movie will be Titanic and that our captain is Bob! "Titanic" I think, "that was a really good movie". So I buy a pair of headphones and settle down ready to watch a really good movie and get even more out of it that I had the first time. I'm watching and I start doing something I didn't do the first time... I actually listened to the dialouge and paid attention to the acting. What a disappointment! This was just a stupid movie that had some really sad parts towards the end. The acting is so phony, and anyone that actually thinks that the "I feel like I'm flying" scene was the least bit well written or acted should be taken out and shot. First of all you're telling me that even though this ship is in the middle of the North Atlantic where there are icebergs that somehow Jack and Rose could wear little shortsleeved outfits, Come on. Secondly you aren't allowed at the front of the boat, you are in big trouble if you are caught. I could do this for every scene.
Look I'm a TEENAGER and a girl I think this. So don't think that I'm some old guy. If you need a tearjerker watch "Terms of Endearment" instead it has better acting and dialouge. "Titanic" gets a 5 out of 10.
