What did you make of Leo and Kate's performances in this movie?

I know the majority of the detractors of Titanic like to point out that the performances from the pair were awful in order to make a point about how bad they thought this movie was. I thought Leo was fairly decent, despite the fact that Jack was a very limited character in terms of giving an actor much to work with. But Kate on the other hand, was really captivating in the movie. I really feel that absolutely no one could have played Rose as well as her.

It was absolutely shocking how awful their performances were, considering who they are and their quality performances/careers post-Titanic.

After watching Titanic, as a child, I was completely in awe with the entire film, performances and all. After watching it, as an adult, their performances--especially Kate's--were akin to something you would typically find in a community theater, overacted and about as natural as that film set they were on.
