special effects,but no special effect on me

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2004)

The visual detail of Titanic is superb, in fact great. To me the great effects and great cast is wasted on drab and idiotic love story. I didn't see why we needed to have an action movie thrown into a tragic event. The sight of Billy Zane as a jealous lover trying to kill Leo, was absurd and in a way hilarious. I think Cameron's interest in the history of the ship is what carries this movie. His affection for this event is seen in every detail of the movie. For me I found myself cheering for Leo and Kate to die ,so I didn't have to sit through more of there banter. Which is the main focus of the movie so , I rather became disinterested fast. The other side characters and stories is the only thing that kept me watching. See the older version of Titanic, bad effects but better story.
