Titanic

[hah]

In my opinion Avatar is a lot better, Titanic takes ages to get started!

pretty sure it starts when they are going down to dive for it

I love Titanic, but I hate the first bit until it gets to Rose telling her story and Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio starting

Avatar wasn't -that- good. Sure the CGI and production was awesome, but it was just a retelling of Pocahontis! (Spelling?) It's ridiculous how much fanboyism it obtains!

Someone said to go on Channel 4 so I did and that was on, only watched the end, never watched the whole film before though.

Might watch it soon.

Titanic the greatest film of all time? I've never heard that before. Well, your opinion, though I completely disagree. It's... okay, nothing more. Bad script - dialogue at times is cringe-inducingly clunky. Good score, good set, good visuals, that's about it. Dull performances. DiCaprio is a stellar performer and his best performances were a decade after Titanic.

Well it won 11 oscars, another 76 awards & 48 nominations so it I think most people thought it was more than okay Link to awards:

It could have been made for the masses being made shorter/ quick action editing/special effects just for the sake of it but it was slow to start and build up the charactors which made the end have such a great impact both emotionally and visually. Not my favourite film but a very worthy one.

I watched it for the first time in about five years. Granted its not amazing but I liked it, just as I did before. I don't understand why some people hate Titanic so much. Yeah, its a mushy love story - but its a mushy love story done right.

It was the highest-grossing film of all time (without adjusting for inflation), which is why it swept the Oscars. The same reason why the Academy felt like there was no need to do a repeat with Avatar this year, though it was far worse.

Okay well I do not have an inside knowledge of the reasons behind the Academy's decision to award 11 Oscars just because it it was the highest grossing film but if you say so it must be true.

Avatar takes ages to get to the main war ...
And for a decade ago, Titanic was excellently made. Avatar is just effects.

lol the only film where I always seem to catch it in the middle. think the earliest I've got is the drawing

It's a good film but slightly over-rated, I think.

Haha, I'm the same! Also agree that it's over-rated.

Avatar won 3 Oscars and had another 25 wins & 56 nominations - and overtook Titanic as the highest-grossing film of all time. It was still a pretty sorry excuse of a film.
