Most over-rated/hyped movie of all time

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2006)

I'm guessing that the cost of this movie made it imperative that it succeeded at the box-office. Hence, virtually every paid movie critic in the world giving this a thumbs up, when you know that some of them did so with both arms having to be tied behind their backs. We all know the story, what happens to the ship, how many die, what band members were still playing as it went under and the water was bloody cold. Yippee!!!! The plot is thick with predictability, loose on plausibility, and low on imaginability. The acting was OK, nothing more. True the effects sequences were pretty impressive and if you'd heard Celine Dion's song for the first time, you may have liked that also. 1,200,345 Times later and it doesn't half get on your Bristols I can tell you. This film had to bring in the money or many companies would have gone under. So, the Hollywood publicity machine worked harder than ever before and got the job done, creating never before seen box office returns. Personally, Id sooner have gone and watched Costner's "The Postman", or Tommy Lee Jones in "Volcano", equally bad films but at least people were honest enough to say so.
