Good film, but WAY too overrated

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2002)

Titanic is definitely a great movie. Incredible visual/sound effects, fantastic directing, art direction, costumes, etc. However, for this movie to win ELEVEN oscars and be the top-grossing movie in history??? I think that's crap!!! This wasn't THAT good. First of all, the movie had terrible dialogue. Kate Winslet overracted badly and said her lines so unbelievably annoying. The movie was also way too sappy and corny. I know it's a love story, but if you're going to make a movie that you know is going to be an international hit, then you should make it so it appeals to ALL audiences. I like the fact that the movie was a mix of all genres, though. It had its romance, humor, drama, etc. It even had its thriller/suspense effect around the last hour. But, the movie could've been a whole lot better. It got way too much acclaim than it deserved. All in all, I think that Titanic is great, but not excellent. It deserved its share of oscars, but not the amount it got. It deserved to be really successful at the box office, but definitely not the highest-grossing ever. I recommend it to everybody, but I wouldn't expect an unbelievable, perfect, too-good-to-be-true film like it's been displayed to be. Thank you! 7.5/10 stars
