God save us from mindless women seeing this film 50 times in the theater

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2005)

This is it...the Film that Made Leonardo a household name. As well as typecast him as a 'heart throb' for the past 8 years.
This is the film that made over a billion dollars....and sent Director James Cameron into a self imposed underwater exile...mainly because after 'Aliens' and 'The Terminator' I'm sure all he was asked for by the Studios was 'Titanic II' for the past 8 years.
This is the film that gave us the Celene Dion Song that makes us groan inwardly every time we hear it.
And this is the film that has give us a whole new batch of clichés -- from the pair of lovers at the 'bow' of the ship to the love story over a necklace (lampooned perfectly on a episode of Futurama) -- this film hasn't stood the test of time, and frankly, never will.
Is it entertaining? Maybe, if you can get past the sappy romance and the annoying acting.
The 'true' story of Titanic -- characters like Kathy Bates as the 'unsinkable' Molly Brown -- aren't covered enough in this film, they are just there to frame a 'love' story between the irish boy in steerage and the high class girl he woo's with his talent. aw how sweet.
No, this film was the embodiment of every 'chick flick' cliché wrapped up with a bow and a celene dion song, and sent to us the film audience. When films of the late 90's are remembered...Titanic will be included for all the money it made, but for movies that really AFFECTED people? (other than being a tear jerker); Its at the bottom of the list.
