5/10
Read the book instead!!

Warning: Spoilers
Why did the makers of this film change anything from the book! I recently just finished the book and found out that the movie was missing some amazing elements that the book had. The movie was OK but they could have done more research about the book. (Did they even read the book). Even thought that they missed up the story a lot, the movie still had decent special effects and a very good music score by John Barry.

Spoilers!!

(Here is some of the stuff that was in the book but not in the movie) 1. You don't see the ship sinking at the start of the film, which is in the book. 2. The ship has no funnels, the 4th funnel is laying on the boat deck in the book, in the movie the ship still has all its funnels. 3. The Russian's are trying to find the ship too, to take the mineral before the American's get to it. This isn't in the movie 4. After the ship is raised the Russian's and American's have a big gun fight on the decks on the ship, this not in the movie. 5 Dirk Pitt has sex with a chick in a stateroom, this is not in the movie neither.

That's just some of the stuff that the movie didn't have in it. I wonder why the movie only made 7 million at the box office. Only see this movie if your really into the Titanic, but its hard to look at now since this movie was made 5 years before the real Titanic was discovered. Everybody knows that the Titanic can't be ever raised. I give this movie 5 out of 10, this is for having decent effects and a powerful music score!
