What can I say...?

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 1998)

...but ergh! Too frilly and mushy for me, I must stress that me, ,for me! I have been interested in the Titanic ever since I was a young boy, but everyone skitted me for it and said it was sad. But now, it is the only thing to talk about, and if you have not seen it you are some kind of pariah and freak. The special effects were the best we can do at this time (Wait 'till you see Star Wars though!) and the acting was OK, but the story was a disgrace. Portraying the ship's first officer as a murderous villain is a travesty! He was actually one of the few crew members who knew what was going on after the captain went barmy. The mass of hype is a bit sickening and people going to see it 13 times or more need help, the most I have watched a movie is 25 times and that's over a period of 14 years! A good try, but not deserving of all the Oscars it received. I come from Liverpool, where the Titanic was registered, and I know that this great ship holds a special place in many Scouser's hearts, but let's have a film that tells the truth!
