Poll: Titanic Judgment

[Frequen-Z]

it made 1.7 billion (I think), and because of this, everybody I know hates it.

Gonna have to stop you there, that's a classic cause and effect flaw, as The Dark Knight has proven, a film can make a fuckton of money and still be loved, meaning that the money a film makes has no bearing on how people think of it.

I hated the film, not because it made money, but because it was shit. Not my genre, didn't like the actors, general disinterest.

Not necessarily. It could be the money a film makes has no impact on public opinion provided box office takings are below a billion. It's not going to be a purely inverse linear relationship, otherwise a film that makes no money (or next to none) is the greatest film ever made. Personally, I like Waterworld, but not that much.

And "Not my genre, didn't like the actors, general disinterest" do not make a movie shit. I didn't really care for the romance plot, but it's a damn pretty film. It was pretty unashamedly boat-porn. The romance plot was just there to give the actors something to do whilst the audience admires the pretty pretty ship.

There's no universally shared opinion on anything, my saying it was shit means *I* thought it was garbage. Yeah, for what it's worth, the boat looked gorgeous, but it just had nothing else going for it for me.

No, you saying it was shit is you saying it's shit, that is something objective. You saying you don't like it is your opinion. You made an objective statement ("It's shit") and then backed it up with things that are entirely subjective (Not your genre)

Well I'm certainly not going to un-say it so move along.

I'm not going to say I loved it, but I didn't hate it. I thought the acting at some points was a bit meh, and some of the scenes were a little boring, but on the whole I liked it as a movie. I just wouldn't say it was my favourite movie, or the best movie ever.

It's a retelling of a historical event so everyone knew how the movie would end, it was basically the most expensive chick flick ever made and I hate chick flicks.

I would rather watch this over and over for 194 minutes than watch that god-awful movie again.

It's spelled "judgment."

Ordinarily I wouldn't mention it but its in the title. Even Blizzard did the same, so I once sent in a bug report to correct the misspelling of a Paladin power.

I think it grossed so much because of 'the twilight effect' where teenage girls go and see it 4 times in one day.

 

[Beatrix]

It could've used a surprise ending.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Meh it was ok, but truth be told, I only really enjoyed it for the sinking ship scene.

Thanks, it's appreciated. Can you please answer the thread now.

It's probably in the same league as Twilight for me, So i'm going with the lowest score possible

 

[Gruchul]

It was an awful film. Slow paced with unlikeable and unbelieveable characters. I personally think it would have been better as a musical, but that would require hiring talented people and putting effort into the project.

I guess the movie was good.
It certainly had it's share of epic moments, but it was a little too "teary" for my taste.
I also think that it has not aged as well as other movie from that era.
