the epic that isn't

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 1998)

Probably the most over-rated film of the last few years, Titanic is not the great epic that every teenage girl has made it out to be. In many ways it is like Gone With the Wind - beautiful to look at, with some fine acting (mostly by Winslet), but with a horribly contrived, trite plot and horrendous dialogue. The characters are paper thin and are ridiculous. What a waste of 200 million dollars.
