Thank you, James Cameron. Your ego has truly created a film of such mind-numbing tedium that can't even be taken seriously.
This might have been a nicely entertaining film if it wasn't so self-aware in it's epic scope. It has far too many villains... ALL of whom get there Hollywood styled come-uppance in the final act. This makes the film muddled and instead of showing the tragedy of the Titanic incident it just shows a complete disregard for human life that is sickening.
Also, I was offended by the way the romance completely overshadowed the loss of command and anarchy. That's what this film SHOULD have been... let it not be said that there isn't an intriguing sub-plot hidden away in here, which is unfortunately just made ridiculous here by the fact that everyone seems to be out to keep De Caprio (in a very mundane performance) and Winslet apart.
Cameron has the biggest ego in Hollywood and he has proven that with this film. Ironically, this is also the largest grossing film of all time. Basically this means that Cameron's ego is now so big... that any script that comes near him will be devoured. All that I ask of him is that he doesn't go near Alien 5.
This is proof that Hollywood can't produce anything of worthwhile substance. The fact that the "general public" (as I call them) lapped this up like hoards of mindless puppies almost destroys my faith in the world and hence the potential audiences of true genius film-makers.
Shame really.
