Are we all stupid? James Cameron thinks so.

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 1999)

I personally think this movie is a crime to humanity, and a disgrace to the movie scene. I am heavily disappointed in James Cameron here, just by making this movie.
My first problem with this movie is the setting. He turned one of the greatest mechanical travesties of mankind's history into a love story. Only on a few accounts did he (James Cameron) show any real pity for those who were on the Titanic. By giving the characters a snobby attitude, Cameron assumes we're not supposed to feel bad when we see them falling from the deck of a ship and breaking their backs on railings? The few decent parts of this movie were the examples of ill-treatment to the lower classmen/women.
As for the love-story....ever hear of "Lady and the Tramp"? This is a blatant rip-off of a classic Disney film. Granted, the character of Jack is charismatic, and holds an intelligence all in his own....but LEONARDO DiCAPRIO!? He did a decent job in Romeo and Juliet, but this was just bad acting. Kate Winslet also did a sub-par job....I didn't find her emotion to be real. Billy Zane did a decent job as a villain, but I think he just "looked" the part. Overall the acting was sub-par in this movie. Next time we have a monumental motion picture event like Titanic, I would like to see actors/actresses who have NOT made appearances in seventeen magazine.
The whole idea of the tragedy of the Titanic on film makes me sick. I cannot believe a human being would make money off this film, and be able to live with himself. Mr Cameron, you disappoint me.
This movie should not have been made into a love-story, let alone be made at all. 5/10 stars.
