Surprise Twist Ending That You'll Never See Coming

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2000)

"Titanic", a movie based on an obscure footnote of maritime history, is a mixed bag of a movie. On the one hand there's the amazing visuals, the intense attention to historical detail, commendable performances and to top it all off, a nude scene with Kate Winslet. On the other hand this movie has a sub-par script and a cliche of a plot, coupled with stereotypical, one-dimensional characters and a three-hour running time. Even when you factor in the surprise ending (hint: it involves an iceberg) this film is far from "the greatest ever"; in fact, I wouldn't put it in my top thirty. However, despite the fact that it is overrated, "Titanic" is still an entertaining piece of cinema and an enjoyable, if predictable, journey through history.
