Reader comments: Titanic
The romance that Cameron has created has not a whisper of ingenuity, surprise, or originality anywhere in sight, with second-rate actors unsuccessfully filling out their pedestrian, plastic roles. The dialogue and plot set-ups are as inspired as episodes from THE LOVE BOAT, with a ridiculously overinflated villian in the form of the fiancee, while the 'spoiled princess' rediscovers the joy of life from 'a naturalistic nomad from the streets'. Toss in a subplot involving an asinine robbery frame-up, a deplorable sequence where Winslet's mother catches her spitting off the ship, and the enabling of the audience to pretty much predict the dialogue before it comes out of the characters' mouths, and you have an overall project that's all sensationalism over structural and behavioral coherence. A real turkey of our time.
