I wish that thing would sink already!

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 1999)

Titanic was one of the movies we walk into and know the basic outline of the plot before even taking our seat and watching the lights dim. The Titanic is a legend, and it was an interesting idea to make a movie out of the true drama it was. However, the poignant relationship between Jack and Rose failed to faze me at all; the whole ironic situation at the end affected me little. I couldn't really empathize with such sappiness; I felt like the characters and even the whole 'tough love' story were unnecessarily cliche. Also, it took WAY too long. Over an hour could have been cut while still making the point. However, I think the scene with the musicians, and the scene with Andrew staring at his clock were quite sad and well-made; the rest of it is probably not worth the $2.00 rental fee.
