Oversold garbage

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 1998)

Despite the millions it may have raked in, I'm sorry, this is one of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen. Not that I don't think all the praise in the world for the technical side shouldn't be heaped upon it, the visual effects were undisputably stunning, but this is Hollywood at its worst : pure candyfloss. Completely contrived, sugarcoated and poorly-written, Titanic is a waste of any thinking viewers' time.
