But, we the audience saw the events onscreen as they happened, it was only the characters listening to the old lady that only heard about things she saw.
Otherwise they'd have known she still had the diamond at the end.
That's the point, the audience saw it but the characters she was telling the story to didn't.

I did say dont get me started.

Its not just the fact that she wasnt aware of up to a third of the plot of the film its was mainly Camerons direction. He handled the romance much better than he handled his signature action scenes. Thus, giving the feel that so much of the action was redundant to the plot. The whole film has a very inconsietant feel the has me turning off half way thru every time its on TV.

I don't want to get you started lol.
But I'm the complete opposite. I liked the film inspite of the romance.
If I ever watch it I always skip after the first half hour to the last 90 or so minutes. The "romance" was just soppy teen angst that was too lustful to be considered love. lol

Plus, the action stuff was what the film was about. The infamous sinking of the Titanic, not Leo and Kate getting it on. The romance was redundant to the plot.

But anyway, if I found anything off putting it was Celine Dion's soundtrack.

Most of those mentioned by Mac Hiavellian and happyland. I disagree on Jaws and Close Encounters though. They are among Spielberg's best work.

Plus...

Anything directed by Danny Boyle (especially the pathetically unscary 28 Days Later, I'll leave out Shallow Grave though)
Anything directed by Gore Verbinsky
Anything directed by Tony Scott, except Deja Vu
Anything written/directed by the Farrelly Brothers EXCEPT Kingpin
Anything written by Joe Esterhaz (especially A Time to Kill, insanely dumb courtroom drama)
Anything starring Mike Myers
Anything starring Jim Carrey
Anything starring the eminently charmless James MacAvoy
Anything starring Forrest Whitaker
Team America: World Police (saying the gags in this are hit & miss is being generous)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
In the Bedroom (not so much a huge film, but critically acclaimed)
Titanic
Gladiator
Rain Man
Hallam Foe
Jerry Maguire
Kill Bill
Every James Cameron movie except the original Terminator and the decent, but flawed True Lies.
It's a Wonderful Life
The Sound of Music
The Departed
The Ring - remake
Ju-On: The Grudge - original (the remake sucked too, but everybody knows that)
Y Tu Mama Tambien (hipsters/scenefags worship this movie... bored me to death)
Pan's Labyrinth (REALLY wanted to like this one)

Extreme examples of overratedness in bold.

If you didn't like Pan's Labyrinth, did you like the Devil's Backbone?

Lol, if you watch a film that's both old and musical you're guaranteed a bad film. Why watch it?

I agree about Jim Carey, never found him funny in anything.
But I wouldn't say I didn't like "anything" with him because The Truman Show is a very good film.

[Marsh.]

I can't remember if 2012 was a big movie when it came out but watching it for the first time now and it's very boring and the action sequences aren't convincing in the slightest.

I know to switch my brain off for these types of films, but it's beyond stupid.
Out of everyone a clapped out camper van swerves falling skyscrapers, major earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions etc.

And now they've got someone who's never flown before flying them about dodging every disaster going.

I think Jim Carey and Robin Williams are much better at serious acting, Robin was extremely scary in One Hour Photo, but he still had parts of the characters that made you realise why he was like he was.

Yeah I do kinda like the 3rd and 4th one. The first 2 were just too kiddy though and the rest were bleak and long. Btw don't ever put 'Harry Potter' and 'Jizz'/'Jizzable' in the same paragraph again.

Part OCD, part masochism. As I said with Harry Potter I did kinda like films 3 and 4, it's just the rest I disliked and with Toy Story 2 but not the other 2. I liked moments in Star Wars Episode 3 but alas, crappy dialogue and camp ending...

Eurgh.

[Tom4784]

Lord of the Rings for me, they're all overlong and boring. I never quite got the appeal of them.

[Niamh.]

I agree with The deer Hunter (boring), The Hangover, The Blair Witch project (just a pile of s**t, I'd also like to add The English patient (hated that film)

[Niamh.]

Oh and yeah, I agree with Girth, I hated Titanic

[Lee.]

Aww, I absolutely loved The English Patient. It's one of my favourite fims actually..

Oh and to those slagging Titanic off.. I went to see it 11 times at the cinema.

Haha.. me too. Another film I will never ever tire of watching!

[CharlieO]

Pretty much every new US comedy film. They are getting extremely repetitive and not very funny at all. Adverts of them make them look very funny but in the end they are not because they put the only funny parts in the adverts.
