Isn't this quite disrespectful?


Honestly why did the directors allowed a sequel to be made out of a real life disaster, which many lives perished that dreadful day?

This movie is an insult to history, geography, biology, cinema, glaciers, ships, the living, the dead, the living dead, God and Satan

So the answer to your question would be yes. Hells yes.

That is propably the funniest post I've ever read in IMDB!! I can't stop laughing!

p.s.: By the way,I saw the trailer and it doesn't look THAT bad! I mean,yes,it looks QUITE bad,but...anyway,I have to see it first!

This movie is also an insult to cinema. It has got to be one of the worst movies OF ALL TIME.

That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that this would be on TV tonight. Any descendant of the actual victims of the Titanic disaster would be livid with the production of this insult to their ancestors memory. If it were me I would drown the whole cast!

You guys know this is not a sequel to James Camerons movie, or any movie at all? Its a self sustained movie that just happens to be using the name Titanic to get people to talk about it.

Its an independent script that good or bad is just taking a fact from 100 years ago to drive it forward. To be offended by this is to be offended by the movie 2012 for every natural disaster thats ever happened or ever will happen.

They named the ship after a ship that sank and killed 1500 people. If someone feels offended by it they have every right to. The pure fact that the name was used to draw attention to should be enough to offend anyone.

And this isn't really a natural disaster. If someone drives a car accidently into a tree, is that a natural disaster or is that human error? Was it natural that ice warnings were ignored? Was it natural that there weren't enough lifeboats to sustain all the passengers? What about the cheaper, poorer quality metal used in the rivets? There are a lot of things about the Titanic disaster that weren't natural and claming anything else is pure ignorance, which you've demonstrated quite clearly.

reply

"they" being fictional characters of a fictional cruise line, is that the "they" youre referring too? Then by all means be offended by something like that.
Maybe you can send "they" a fictional negative comment card along with your chirstmas list to santa.

Also, I wasnt calling the Titanic a natural disaster, perhaps I could have come up with a better comparison, but I didnt and Ive already spent too much time on this response to yours.

Im the ignorant one? I doubt it.

First, this isn't a sequel. Second, it was 99 years ago; get over it. Third, the James Cameron film--about the actual, real-life tragedy--was about the most appalling piece of crap I've ever seen. Laying a vapid and ridiculous love story on top of a real-life tragic event is the real crime, and James Cameron is the guilty one, not Shane Van Dyke.

And they shouldn't even be using the ship's name. Out of so many names to come up with, they had to name it Titanic.... geesh, talk about compassion for the real victims..
