how can I put this politely?

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 1999)

I can't for the life of me figure out why James Cameron spent so much on Titanic. Okay, the effects, very lavish and spectacular but everything else was, how can I put this politely, REUSED. Has anyone else seen 'A Night to Remember'? Well, apparently James Cameron has, he recycled the entire movie and decorated it with a few pretty faces and called it Titanic. Or how about that wonderful score by James Horner? Didn't we hear the same stuff for BRAVEHEART. Don't get me wrong I like Horner but, he's only written three soundtracks in his life, he just recycles them to fit other movies. Winslet and DiCaprio got away with sleepwalking through this film, both are capable of a whole lot more but I won't deny them their moment in the sun. Don't get me wrong, I liked Titanic, it's an enjoyable movie but I think the praise is a little over the top. Cameron is not fit to lace Steven Spielberg's boots when it comes to directing and it's tragic that in a world with Morgan Freeman that anyone with a brain can mention Leo as the best actor in the world. . .I'm talking to all you teenage girls out there! So let's raise a glass to get ready to toast George Lucas and that golden moment when Star Wars episode one kicks Titanic's ass at the box office. Cheers!
