titanic: visuals rock,script lacks

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2004)

Titanic is a romantic tear-jerker set in 1912, based on, of course, the ill fated voyage. Leo Dicaprio and Katen Winslet play two young lovers(leo, a little too young looking)aboard the unsinkable ship.
The relationship between Leo and Kate felt a little rushed at times, but I suppose they had to skip to the most predictable part of the movie, when the ship sank.James Cameron spent 200mil. making this flick, so yes the visuals of the sinking ship are spectacular. You go back and forth between the suspencefull scenes, seeing leo and kate trying to escape the ship from the inside(cameron at his best). And the eye candy moments of seeing helpless passengers falling off the ship that's suspended in mid air.Sure the end of the movie is sad, but it wouldn't have been at all without the brilliant music by james horner. Cameron's script is quite empty and flat, actually. the movie soundtrack is more worth your money than the movie is. I give it a 6.9 out of 10
