Titanic, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2000)

Why does this movie suck so bad? More importantly, why did it win an oscar for among other things, best picture? There are so many holes in the film's plot, the villian is similar to one in a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon (I was wondering why they didn't give him a mustache which he could rub between his fingers), the long sweeping shots of the ship look horrible, the script is lame and filled with cliched action movie lines and all of the scenes taking place in the present day are worthless and have no place.
First, if Rose is telling this story from her perspective how is it that she knows what her fiance is always planning? How does she know what the crew of the ship is talking about before and after the iceberg hit? How is it that she knows how exactly Jack got on the ship or what he talked about with his friends onboard? You get the idea? Now many movies have this problem, but not a best picture winner. Second, the villian who's name escapes me. He was so cliched. So evil it was funny. He's like Travolta in his new horrible film.
Third, the fly over shots of the ship look like garbage. They are so obviously fake, all the people appear as black, lifeless silohoettes walking the ship. Fourth, the script. How did these horrible lines that Jack utters get in there? When danger is afoot, no matter how great all he can utter is his best Keanu Reeves impersonation. Fifth, what is the purpose of showing us the salvage crew? Who gives what these idiots are thinking or doing. It further complicates things. Why would these people believe an elder Rose just because she says she is the one in the picture. Anyone could call up and say that. If they cut these parts of you have a much shorter film.
I HATE THIS MOVIE.
L.A. CONFIDENTIAL WILL ALWAYS BE 1997 TRUE BEST PICTURE
