Maybe it was overrated back in the day with a gazilion oscars and fans going crazy about it like it's the BEST.MOVIE.EVAHHH. But the years that followed it was continiously trashed from a vocal minority (mostly guys) because of the titanic/leo mania that followed and annoyed pretty much everyone. It's no accident the (low for a movie this loved) imdb rating it has in a site where the male/female ratio is something like 10/1.I love this movie, it was one of the best experiences I ever had in amovie theatre. Yes, the story is average and the bad guy is a caricature but this is a director's movie and it's as epic as they get.A.
