Review of Titanic (1984) by Stefan G — 12 Jul 2014
Don't get me wrong, James Cameron is a talented director, but this movie is seriously overrated. It tries to recreate the tragic sinking of the Titanic, but rather than just doing that, it places a wildly nonsensical story on top of it for the sake of dragging it on for over three hours.
Why on earth would anyone sit through a shoddily paced romantic mess for over three hours? Then again, why would I want to unless I were here to review it? The characters come across as total phonies, and while I can sense that there's an attempt at real drama, it all seems really shallow, especially towards the end of the end of the movie.
The film looks okay, but I find that they seemed to have focused only on appearances. Of course, I am keeping the film's bloated $200 million budget in mind. Obviously I might come across as rather cynical, but that's how it is.
I really didn't like this movie. I was bored by it, and I fail to see what kind of appeal it has if at all. It's just a shallow, overlong mess of a movie that I wouldn't sit through even if my life depended on it.
