The most overrated movie of All time

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 1999)

Titanic is the most overrated movie of all time. I know that it sweeped the Oscars for the year 1997, but that doesn't mean that it deserves to be recognized as it is now. There are numerous reasons why the film was labled as the best picture. First of all, it made 1 billion dollars world-wide, and that's the record for any films. The reason? Leonardo Dicaprio's in the movie and if you are a girl and doesn't like Leonardo DiCaprio, you are not normal. I know several girls who saw Titanic about 20 times. Also, the movie was in fact, entertaining, I must admit. I enjoyed it. The sound and the score by James Horner and the cinematography was excellent. Also, the year was a weak year for films. L. A Confidential or Good Will Hunting or As Good as It Gets were good, but not terrific, but they were better than Titanic. Titanic was a blockbuster, but the screenplay sucked. The screenplay sucked like hell. The plot was simple, a poor, living-on-the-wild-side boy meets a rich girl who is controlled by her mother and falls in love. It is the most simplest plot ever! Even a five-year-old can think of that! But the excellent direction of James Cameron actually overcame the screenplay and made it entertaining so James Cameron deserved an Oscar for best director. But the fact of the matter is, even with all the technical excellence, the foundation and the backbone of all films except for action films, the screenplay SUCKED! Remember the line, "Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! Rose! "? Is that the best Cameron can think of? Films such as L. A Confidential and Good Will Hunting or As Good as it Gets had better screenplays and better cast of actors then Titanic. So in conclusion, I admit that Titanic was a good action & chick flick, but it did not deserved to be awarded as the best picture of 1997.
