It baffles me how a movie like Titanic is universally celebrated as one of the most important and successful films of all time, yet this movie is derided as strongly as it is. It's basically the SAME movie! I'd like to hear a good argument for the difference of opinions on these films, and not one with just childish defenses like "It's just terrible!!!". It's a little bloated, but it has an effective, tragic love story, as sappy as it may be. And it features an impressive, bombastic recreation of that tragic disaster. It works well enough for what it is.

i cant help it, i just love this movie.

This isn´t such a bad movie. Yes, it has a cheesy love story. But you have to put something in a movie like this otherwise you´ll end up with a pretty expensive, out of proportion documentary. And I´ll doubt people would watch that. It´s not totally accurate historically but a lot of things are based on facts as they were known then. Altogether it´s above average blockbuster cinema, not even Bays worst movie (that would be reserved for some of the Transformer movies). [spoiler] The one thing I think was too much was putting the Doolittle Raid in at the end. I understand the intention in doing so but this would be material for another movie alone. [/spoiler]

"look at all these people die... Let's fuck" I hate romantic war movies, just fucking trash
