I find it so amazing that even after all these years, we are STILL talking about this movie! Obviously this movie wasnt THAT bad or else people wouldnt even BOTHER to talk about it.
I personally enjoyed this film immensly, and still do! I guess this film isnt for everyone, but it certainly did touch the hearts of many.
As for those that think that this film is overrated or over-hyped.well, we only have the movie-going public to thank for that! lol* You see, its not CRITICS/article writers that make a film HUGE or a HIT with the general movie-going public. PEOPLE make the film a huge success. With Titanic, everyone was in awe. Lets face it, a film like this had never been made before.
At least not with the type of special effects needed to really capture the essence of the ship actually sinking. This film is so accurate that even James Cameron timed the actual sinking of the ship in the film with the REAL sinking that fateful day in April 1912. Even the silverware for goodness sakes matched! & watching these movie in 3D was mind blowing experience .
