Not as bad as I expected

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2002)

I must be one of the few people who didn't (want to) see this movie in a theatre, because I didn't believe the hype. Hype usually is a bad thing, as proven recently with the disappointing road to perdition. But yesterday I decided to give the Titanic a chance, because I had nothing better to do.
I have to say that the movie wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be, but it certainly will never gain a spot in my top ten of all-time favorite movies.
I liked the cinematography (though not the best in a movie) and the soundtrack (except for that celine dion song) a lot. The acting was okay and sometimes I was even touched by the not so surprising story (we all know that the boat will sink).
All in all it's a not too bad movie, that you can see if you have a lot of time and nothing better to do. 6 out of 10
