The Greatest Movie of all time? Hardly. . .

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2012)

Titanic is the #1 grossing film of all time. Big deal. The star of the movie is a ship, not Leo or Kate.
I will admit that the film is a technical masterpiece. The special effects, cinematography, editing, production design, and all of the other "back-stage" elements are simply superb.
While "Titanic" unarguably cost an enormous amount of money, it's easy to see why. The money is right up on the screen, in all its glory, for all to see. Yet, is it fair to say that a film is great when only half of it truly is? I don't think so. On that note, I base my overall rating, knowing that it would have been far better if only Cameron swallowed his pride, put his ego on the shelf for a moment, and hired someone else to write the screenplay. Unfortunately, he didn't, so we have to suffer for it.
So half a good movie is a 5/10
