Grand ship, script needs upgrading though.

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 1999)

Where can I start, I love 30 minutes of this movie. The sinking of the ship will go down as one of the great effects sequences in cinema history yet I couldn't help feeling cheated at spending my cash on cinema entry for this movie. The love tale is far too poorly written to maintain interest of the more action-orientated viewer of which the film is partly complex and also too simple to interest someone who loves good character interaction. I believe that the best character in the movie Cal, Billy Zane's character didn't get nearly enough screen time. I laughed heartily at his "You'd almost pass for a gentleman" line directed towards Jack and the black and white original footage was very emotional but little things like this, a fraction of its 3 hour duration don't assist an over rated and drawn out film. I may be going against popular opinion but I saw at least 8 better movies than this in 1998 and will see another 8 this year. I'm not totally against the movie but I can't stand a film winning on hype, a good but not great movie. 6/10, man I'm harsh.
