You know I really loved this movie but I think its HIGHLY overated.I just cant figure out WHY this movie made 1 BILLION worldwide.And why no other movie has been able to beat it.Personally I think its because all the guys wanted to go see the naked lady.But what do you guys think about the movie and it being overated?
I could go without seeing Kate Winslet naked, thankyaverymuch.
As for it making so much money, it just had a safe, worldwide appeal. It is thee ultimate date movie, that's how it was billed/promoted, and that's how it did in the theatres. It was an epic, definitive, all encompassing Titanic movie with a love story wrapped around it.
I'm a big fan of it too, but don't confuse it being overrated with just being a very popular movie. Critics never really raved over this one, except for it's set design and costumes.
I tried watching it for the neked lady when my fiance bribed me into loading it up on the dvd player but it just didnt work i was asleep for 3/4 of the movie ;/ and she didnt have the decency to wake me for the neked part either.
Yeah I love this movie also mainly because of what that other poster said about the set design and ALSO because Kate was in it. I think thats why it was such a huge money maker was because of the fact that it had great state of the art special effects,is about a popular topic,and the teenage kids swooned over Leo as the adults like myself went back multiple times to swoon over Kate.

this movie is indeed HIGHLY overrated. it is riddled with the cheesiest cliches. but i have to admit, it was a decent movie. and the naked part was not that long... unless you freeze it for like 10 minutes.
This movie sucks, mostly because of that lame ass love story
Yes, amazing art direction, yes the special effects are good, the photography and some really good camera angles but that is it.
The technical parts are good, to bad the acting and story isnt. Usually good acting and good story is better then technical stuff (Something's gotta give is a great example of that).
It is also boring has hell, to much time to say nothing at all.
So yes it is high on my craptometer.

Re: Titanic
So incredibly overrated, it's not even funny
Definetly did NOT deserve 11 Oscars. At all. The love story was shit, pardon my french, but when I saw it I was looking forward to a straight-up plot about the whole thing, not that little love story. Although Kate... ..... but I would have rather had a good movie than boobies.
ya the 1 thing that incredibly surprises me bout titanic is 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS. DUDE THAT IS SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH MONEY. I MEAN RETURN OF THE KING HASNT EVEN MADE A BILLION!!! so i think titanicz record is 2 MUCH. as for 11 academy awards all i can say is WTF?
but literally every1 in the world watched this movie coz of kate winslet's boobs i think
