Sink already!!

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2001)

'Titanic' never deserved Best Picture, and certainly not in a year when 'As Good as it Gets' was in the running. (A movie which received a higher rating on this site by-the-way). I hope this means that people are realizing that selling lots and lots of tickets does not a great movie make. Especially when sales are heavily tipped by groups of 12 year old girls going to see Leonardo DiCraprio over and over. But, this is for whom the movies are filmed and the music is made. So I deal with it by writing reviews like this about movies I hate.
The movie was just too damn long. About 3 hours too long. I thought boat would never start sinking, and then I thought it would never stop. The only part of the movie I really enjoyed was the scene with them dancing on the tables. If this movie was cut to 85 minutes it might have been tolerable, but as is I gave it a 5/10. (I only gave it that much because it was visually impressive).
I don't think I would have been as hard on this film if I hadn't been subjected to night after night of hearing about it on the evening news. But, nothing changes the fact that the film is very cliché and a big waste of time!!!
