I don't think that's being fair on LOTR comparing it with Titanic. Titanic was one big overblown sugary tale, whereas LOTR has pretty much stuck to the Tolkein story and has had much praise for it from Tolkein fans. Just because it is a box office success doesn't make it a bad film. I have friends who are Tolkein fans and who love the film (don't you Kat??)
