    How was it terrible? Poor acting? Poor direction? Poor writing? Maybe you just didn't enjoy it, but that doesn't as such make it 'terrible' surely?

    I've watched many films I didn't enjoy or jell with, but I wouldn't describe them as terrible because of that.


    Personally I enjoyed Titanic... Yes it's got a bit of cheese because of the love story in it, but it's a clever idea, filmed and produced outlandishly well (IMHO)

    OMFG NEIL! YOU SPOILER'D IT FOR ME!!! GOL!!!

    I didn't really like it, did at first, but even then not that much - was only watching it because it was A) James Cameron and B) a bloody big ship sinks ... then I got fed up with it, now I respect it a bit more, but it's not my thing - the extraneous story being the main issue, who cares, we came to see the ship sink, that's it...even though Winslet's tits are nice.

    Even though, it's a bit grim in a way, such a spectacle made out of a real tragedy...hmmm...

    Not Cameron's best work though - his best work has to be T2, no question.

    Aliens is surely up there as well? The Abyss although flawed is also pretty epic!

    I like Titanic, damn it. The only complaint people ever make is that it had the love story. What the hell else would the movie have been about?

    The opening credits finish and the boat immediately hits the iceberg, proceeds to sink while we never know any of the characters or give a damn about them, and the end credits roll after one hour??

    It had to have something to really pull the audience in. And not only that, but it's not like that was the only thing Cameron focused on. Every detail of the ships maiden voyage, interior, exterior, some passengers, sinking, etc was researched to death. Tell me....do you honestly think anyone else other than Cameron could have made that film and made us see what it was really like being on the ship? Maybe Spielberg, but you get the idea.

    Anyway...I enjoy it. I even plopped down the 20-30 bucks to get the 4 disc special edition(which I highly recommend if you're into special effects and how they created half of the ship at full scale.)

    Mmm, it's difficult because other than the ship hitting an iceberg and sinking, it's clearly Cameron's version of events and really doesn't have that much to do with what really happened.

    But damn, you can't deny the man's attention to detail (even the friggin' cutlery had the official White Star stamp on them) and half of the ship was re-built for the movie. That has to be appluaded. And the final forty five minutes is about as good as a movie can get.

    Not as imaginative as his earlier work but yeah, Titanic was worthy.

    I didn't want to make another post about the Terminator series, but last night I saw 2 advertisements for the tv series which starts around the 1st or 2nd week of Jan.

    I saw the pilot, it's okay looking. Better than T3 anyway.

    Oh yeah, apparently the T3 writers are doing the Death Wish remake.

    I like T3 sure it was popcorn and bubble gum movie making but sometimes I just want to sit back and enjoy. The idea of a fourth film is a bit much however. The TV series looks interesting, but I will watch them all then decide...oh and a death wish remake...great idea. (note sarcasm)
