Yes, I finally broke down and gave in to my curiosity about what all the hype was about. Jim Cameron is certainly the master of the Hollywood formula picture, with plenty of romance with the sexually-ambiguous Leonardo DiCaprio for the ladies and plenty of great big sinking boat for the guys. As big budget epics go, I’ve seen worse (at least Kevin Costner wasn’t in this one). The sweeping, computer-generated “chopper” shots were a little overused, and some of the effects work didn’t work. Even so, for the most part suspension of disbelief isn’t too much of a chore. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
