You know, I still will care what Doug Walker has to say about movies. Yes he's done some bad but so have even people like Walt Disney. It just doesn't matter. Things he says can still be sound.
Anyway I just found out Metacritic gave Titanic 75%. Freaking idiots. Titanic is the best movie I've ever seen. So I would say Cinderella's 67% and Beauty and the Beast's 65% should actually be considered quite good.
I just realized that I had read your statement too quickly too have grasped what you truly meant. So I apologize for that.
Speaking for myself, I don't pay attention to Doug's opinions or even give them much credit. Frankly, I find his opinions to be ridiculous and weird and he lacks substance and authority to make him credible. He's not even good at making clear why his choices are the way they are and some of his nitpicking and opinions are completely extraneous. Of course he has his exceptions, but due to his previously blatant nature and not so nuanced way of stating his opinions, I don't take him seriously at all.
As for
Titanic, it's stuck with the stamp of it's backlash of it's popularity and how it's components suddenly began working against it (which is true to be told the thing people accuse this movie for). But regardless of it,
Titanic did have some genuinely good moments and was worthy of it's success, despite that I find that it's problems drags (there are certain parts of the story that drags, true to be told, as in the third act). But
Titanic is a good movie, nonetheless.
