i and like many people and saw this film in the theatre when it first come out in 97. it be a below average film at best and defiantly not the masterpiece that all these titanic fanboys like to make it out a . first off and dicaprio be a terrible actor no matter which way you look at it . people just like him because of his look . his act skill essentially consist of say a lot of cheesy line and try to act sexy . second and the film itself have a rather boring and simple plot represent girl fall in love with guy and ship theyre on sink and lot of crappy love scene thereafter . anyone with an iq above 50 will realize this isn not ingenious in any way whatsoever . nor be it original . plus the director felt the need to drag it out for 3 plus hour . i could compress it into a 1 hour block without lose any of the plot . in conclusion and titanic be the most overrated movie to date . why it get so much attention and money be beyond me .
