Personally, I like this movie. As you said, the cinematography is beautiful and it's got some fun side characters. What sells it for me though isn't Rose and Jack's story as much as how much damn effort Cameron put into the movie. All the crew members, and quite a few of the passenger side characters, with speaking parts are real people who were on the Titanic, many of whom were heroes. I care about them much more than two made up people, but the romance makes a decent framing device to get views from 1st class and Steerage. That's how I choose to view it. As a framing device.
Now as for the review itself I do have some things to point out. Mostly they're mistakes you made about the movie:
-They arrested Jack after he saved Rose because they thought he was trying to sexually assault her, mostly because they saw his discarded clothes and Rose just laying on the deck shaking after they heard her scream.
-Rose probably would've been fairly safe in the steerage party. It was a different time and many people there were just normal folks trying to start a better life in America, not criminals. And she never really left Jack's sight during the party.
-Cal and Rose are engaged, and it's an arranged marriage she doesn't want that's mostly for money. Again, it was a different time when peoples parents had more control over their love lives. They couldn't just break it off.
-At no point in the movie was there an infirmary. An infirmary is a kind of make-shift hospital and you're thinking of the boiler room.
-It was Thomas Andrews, not David.
-Cal didn't throw the necklace at them after the shooting. He put it in his coat pocket and without thinking put the coat on Rose a good time before the shooting scene. Also, he grabbed a little girl. That's why she was wearing a dress.
-"I'll never let go" is not meant to be literal. It's meant to mean she's not going to let go of life or his memory and she's going to try and live life to the fullest. (Although I do agree there was plenty of room for Jack on the door or wall panel that Rose was on)
-Rose wasn't the only survivor from the water. She said five others were saved.

you 'stole' my "Nostalgiaview" sub-title, didn't ya?
eh, I already have a BTC review of this in advance so i'll say what I summed up in that.
This film is two different screenplays thrown into one film; the first half is a romantic drama while the other half is a disaster movie. They just put the two genres together in one film to bring in the fans of both genres to see Jack and Rose fall in love and to see the ship sink.
