Titanic (1997)

Too long and too thin.

The problem with this film, well it is basically everything. I was forced to watch this when I did watch it and did not enjoy a single second of it. To give a fair shake since that time was long ago I force myself this time to examine it once more, and my opinion did not change. The story itself is your basic love story thrown in with a disaster movie. The interesting thing is it only has stock characters not one is original or has any true depth, the villain is just a plain villain, and the main characters are just the basic archetypes of their kinds of characters. The acting is severely overrated, I like both of the main actors later on in later films but here that are rather stale. I say it is too long because all it is, is a love story which should never go for three hours. The tech is unimpressive and the ship itself clips, and you can easily notice the falseness of it. One thing they should have done was get rid of the whole modern part or at least shorten it because it takes all the time at first then almost completely goes away.

Titanic Review comment

This is one of the only movies that has ever made me cry. I thought it was a very good romance story. It is a little long but it's a touching story.
