Have you considered simply reading Wikipedia plot summaries of movies instead of watching them?
Film Is Titanic a Bad Film?

Its too long. Would be a good TV series if it came out now...partly because I'd skip the first 4 episodes and just watch the boat sinky bit
My overriding memory is that it’s way too long to the point where you stop caring and just start wanting it to sink already.
very good in many ways to the "analytical viewer" but not enjoyable at all.
Similar to one of those books you have to read in high school, where you understand why it became a Classic but feck me are they a pain in the ass.

making movies that revolve around romantic stories that end up being fruitful or however I should have described 2 people indeed ending up together, is extremely challenging.

in 4k 3D, let’s gooooo!

How come trailers for 4k (re-)releases get maxed out at 1080p sometimes..... ?
Its a bit sleezy but its ok.
The end kills it though, one of the most ridiculous movies end ever.
She has that door all for herself and he freezes to death although theres more than enough space for both.

I don’t think it’s about space though. Sure this argument has been disproved a fair few times.
In terms of visual effects, wardrobe and recreating the whole universe, I think it was well done. The ship wrecking scene was pretty much very well done.
Unfortunately the plot is too much one dimensional and sometimes over the top, which basically makes this one of those movies that you see once and it's done.

Cameron was interviewed a couple of weeks ago, and he's recently spent money proving that Jack couldn't have survived the scenario in any circumstance.

Where's the proof?
It's I said so I guess.
It's about the story yes but it's still shit.
They could set a love story on the Mary Rose before it sinks.
Jokes aside sinking scenes are great but other than that its a boring, sleezy love story, not a movie I'd rewatch in any case.
Went to see it in the cinema whilst at Uni - shows how old I am, shite! - and to be honest I thought it was brilliant. Perhaps watching it with the noise and big screen made a difference. Obvious story etc but the details of the replica and inside was brilliant.
But just a quick note on the bolded part - no way Leo could have survived. The door wouldn't hold the weight of both. James Cameron even funded a study to prove it all...

Terrible movie, probably the worst ever made.
It's just JC saying so though: I've already given @Real Name that link, and they weren't convinced.
I too got dragged to the cinema back in the day, and it remains one of my absolute favourite movies. I must have seen it hundreds of times - and embarrassingly, maybe 10 of those were in the cinema (we went nightly for a couple of weeks on and off).
It’s a brilliant film. The work that went into it was amazing
10 is a bit excessive but bravo! I think I’m close to 5, incl on tv, but could watch it again
The Mrs and I at the time had to be convinced to go the first time by another couple we went out socially with, but yeah. I think I liked it more than her, and my excuse was that I wanted to learn the piano from the drawing scene, to use in a rip of the theme song. I pretty much went full Titanic.
I don’t really like the film either tbh. Same with Avatar, some of the most overrated films ever.
Does anyone watch it and get that sinking feeling?
Never saw Avatar, didn't like all the hype about it.
It's a pointless movie. It's basically a serie of moving images.
I liked Titanic. Never understood the hatred.
I find it endlessly rewatchable from a technical point of view. We simply won’t ever see a production like it again but the bits that Cameron added to an already fascinating story are not good. Jack and Rose are a pair of shits.

Titanic was a great Movie. Even better for me because it’s was 15 when I first saw the movie and had no knowledge of the original titanic story.
It's not a bad film. It's spectacular and not a bad story either.
So basically you went to see Kate Winslett get her kit off!

I got to appreciate that scene later in life. Didn’t care much about women then
Not sure how you've not got to the bottom of this 25 years on pal.
Only saw a clip the other day where the people dropping down the vertical ship deck near the end, was actually filmed that way. People apparently got little injuries doing it. Had assumed there was total computer trickery or suchlike to it.
What kind of a 15 year old doesn't care about women?
there is a documentary I think about the making of it. Cameron’s attention to detail is amazing
Definitely, saw a clip where someone in the background was some historical figure. But it was literally a 2second clip and no-one would have noticed on first view.

Well, there's quite an easy answer to that
