I don't think your "wrong" to dislike it... however, that's going to 
change my mind and the fact that I do enjoy this film, much more than 
the previous two.  I've already seen it twice, and plan on seeing it 
at least two more times in the theater, before buying it on DVD.  
Everybody has different tastes.  Personally, I hated Titanic.... and 
the fact that it won so many Oscars just irritates me to no end.  I 
thought The Color Purple was a far better film than Out Of Africa 
(which I fell asleep watching, it was sooooo boring).  But those are 
MY tastes.
