Drawnout, though not a complete disaster

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2009)

I've now seen this film several times, and it does get better. I promise! The first time, I must confess, I found it laughable! The problem was that, at times, it appears to present itself as a documentary-which it is not! It is an epic love story which happens to be set upon the Titanic, that is all-and there is nothing wrong with that. There are some good performances and room in the story for some engaging character development. There are also great special effects and plenty of action scenes, to keep your pulse up. So, in summary-if it's historical accuracy you seek then rent a documentary, if you want an absorbing (if rather drawn out) love story you could do worse.
