Crimes Against Tolkienity

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> So has "Titanic" but it's still crap. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually whilst Titanic may have received the Oscars it never had the same sort of sustained high reviews and “fan-buzz” that LOTR has. Titanic’s reviews were largely mediocre and you only have to look at its IMDB ranking to see that it is not that highly rated.<P>As a side note though, whilst I do not particularly like Titanic I find it a little bemusing how many people claim that it is “really bad” or “it sucks” or that it’s the “worst film ever made”.<BR>You can find these types of viewpoints expressed on pretty much any internet board and it bears little relation to reality.<BR>Does Titanic deserve to be the biggest grossing film of all time? Probably not but let’s not pretend that it is a really bad film. It may not be even in my top 100 but I do not believe that it is a badly made film. And whilst the love story may be a little long winded and clichéd it is no where near as tragically bad as the love story in Attack of the Clones. A film which some people claim to be as good as the original trilogy.
