Spoiler: The Boat Sinks!
I'll tell you what bugs me most about this movie: the backstory.
James Cameron in his quest to see his dream come to life managed to spend more money on a piece of fluff than what most third world countries get to spend on their citizens. He screwed around on his wife with Suzi Amis, one of the "stars" of the movie and called Kate Winslet "Kate Weigh-a-lot" to her face when she didn't fit into the size 0 costume that had been made for the character before the actress was professionally sized.
Sorry, I can't feel very romantic knowing that kind of info.
Of course, I can't feel very romantic about a movie where the poor people look like they walked out of the "Derelict" fashion show from ZOOLANDER. I can't get behind a movie that drags for stretches at a time and doesn't even have decent dialogue to keep the movie afloat until the boat sinks.
It's so... phony. It feels like it's been written and directed by a man who assumes he understands what love is and quite clearly has no clue.
Argh. I really don't want to waste any more effort explaining that and how I hate this movie. Suffice it to say, I do. Men, take note: not all women like this crap.

There's not much point discussing this; it seems clear that you are certain of your position. As someone that wants to make a living as a filmmaker one day, I simply cannot disregard the highest grossing film of all time that was number one at the box office for several months.
What is your explanation for its success? |

| I admit it I saw this movie in the cinema's when it came out and I remember it being ass numbingly long, credit where credit is due the effects and props where very good. Everything else however was cheezy as hell....but we must not forget the classic scene that I an maybe a few others have felt the urge to act out...i.e. the hand slapped dramatically on steamy car window (you get the best reaction when parked in a pottery barn car park) and the classic line " I'm the king of the world" which I'm sure every drunken frat boy has shouted at some point. Aside from sh*te dialog the most diabolical thing that came from this movie was Celine F'ing Dion. |

| Its interesting that you would bash the most profitable movie in history, this film made $1,845,034,188 worldwide.........It must be the cool thing to do if your a true movie lover to hate the one movie that the rest of the world loved. Also I realize that you did not use the word "hate" in your review but one star to me = HATE. |
