Holy S%+T, Someone actually approved this script?!


Before the movie started I called a friend back east who said Do Not Watch It!! And like a moron who repeatedly sticks his finger in a light socket .... I watched the whole move. It's not like the actors are bad at their trade, it was the script that was ... well for better terms should have been left on a roll in the restroom. The pathetic attempt at using lines from the original classic was as much an insult as painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. My favorite "huh?" in the movie is how water can flood decks several levels higher than decks that have yet to be flooded? And please can someone tell me how a person can get tossed around a 30 foot high room and survive while someone in a narrow corridor dies from massive trauma? My heart goes out to the talented cast that performed their lines diligently all the while worrying what this will do to their careers.

PS: At least the ladies out there now know how important it is to always carry a Sharpie marker with you.

I agree with the part where you said that how can the decks above the ballroom can be flooded while the lower decks aren't. In fact, it should've been flooded like 20 minutes after the capsize! But just when you know it, the ballroom floods near the end of the movie! Kind of rediculous if you ask me. And the 30 foot height part...after the capsize in the ballroom you see there about maybe 20 or 30 people dead? In the corridor part, there were probably a lot stuff in the corridors, so the people in them could've gotten injured or killed from that...
