"Good Will Hunting" and "L.A. Confidential" got robbed

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 1999)

O.K., don't get misled by the one-line summary, I thought "Titanic" was a descent movie, but in no way was it the best film of the year, not even close. Let's face it, if DiCaprio isn't in the cast, this movie doesn't break the records. The performances were all half-way decent at best (I could have played Jack, it was that difficult of a part). But the special effects were nice. The plot was textbook romance and there was nothing surprising, even when Jack died. All in all, this movie was ok. I give it a 6 out of 10. If you want to see a real Cameron movie see "True Lies". That's a movie that has got it all. Fun, action, comedy, and a surprise here and there. Finally the main reason this movie could have been better is if the screenplay was better. "Good Will Hunting" won for best screenplay in '97 and they deserved it a lot more. A good movie, but ladies, lets just leave it at that.
