Rating: Summary: IS THE WORLD OVER-POPULATED WITH TASTELESS NUTBALLS?? Review: I will never understand how James Cameron, a director of movies only worth seeing once, is being named a genuis. The only reason the damn movie is so popular is because modern society has lost romance, so pregnant teenagers need to get that warm mushy feeling from "Leo." I'll grant you the kid's a decent actor, I thought he was very good in Marvin's Room, but aren't you people taking this thing a bit far. I could understand hearing it's a good movie or even a very good movie, but a GREAT FILM! What's even more pitiful was Leo's next movie following Titanic, The Man in the Iron Mask. It's frightening to think that half the teenage girls who saw this film did not realize it was a combination of Dumas The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask (Dumas wrote the two books). Have Fuller, Marker, Mizoguchi, Mekas, Dreyer, etc. etc. been forgotten. Only a select few have called them great filmakers, and yet the whole world is screaming for James Cameron. Thanks for your time
Rating: Summary: Terrific movie Review: I think Titanic was a great movie.I own it and I watch it a lot.The saddest part was when Jack died.Even though I've seen the movie countless times I still cry when Jack dies.
Rating: Summary: Leo is my future husband Review: I love Leonardo Di Caprio and I think that his acting in this movie is the best acting that I have ever seen! He is sooooooooooooooo hot and that I even cut out his picture and have it hanging from my rearview mirror. I know that if he met me, he would want to marry me. Oh yeah, I liked the movie too.
Rating: Summary: This is a great movie! Review: I don't have a lot to say, but I think that this movie shows how the experience was for the actual passengers aboard the Titanic. The love story between Jack Dawson (Dicaprio) and Rose Dewitt Buchater (Winslet) also contributes a lot to the story.
Rating: Summary: Wading Thru The Sappiness, You Get A Great Movie Review: A good story, hunky-stud hero & the beautiful Kate Winslet help make this movie as good as its publicity...well, almost.
Rating: Summary: Decent movie Review: First of all, I have a real problem with some "film student" writing a review about how it was so bad. Who cares what the heck a film student thinks? I care what the general public thinks, and not some person who thinks he's the authority on all movies. Secondly, I think that the movie would have been 5 stars in my book if they had omitted the nudity. It did not add to the quality of the film. Why is it okay that a 17-year-old, who is engaged, does that kind of stuff with a guy she's known for like 2 days? Because they are both "beautiful people", and it's "true love"? I'm a 12-year-old girl, and I don't think Leo DiCaprio is "hot". Finally, why is everyone going on and on about how it's not realistic? IT IS A MOVIE! Were any of the "great movies" incredibly true to life and realistic? Get a documentary, I don't see movies to learn history, I just want to leave behind real life for a while (3 hours in this case) and get caught up in a story that happened in 1912, on the grandest ship of it's time in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Rating: Summary: Only Hollywood... Review: Only Hollywood could turn the senseless death of over a thousand people into a love story.
Rating: Summary: Great historical fiction Review: Even though you know how the movie ends, you are on the edge of your seat throughout. Magnificent scenery and special effects!
Rating: Summary: Bad movie gets 11 oscars Review: Although it is easy to see how this brainless saga could appeal to an equally brainless segment of the public, it is much harder to understand the honors that have been bestowed on this mediocre (albeit expensive) production. The special effects were pretty good, and the details of reconstruction of some of the inanimate objects was remarkable. The problem was in the animate entities. The main characters are anachronistic: essentially 90's teenagers dressed in funny turn-of-the-century clothes. If you are thrilled by the fact that Rose decided to follow her heart instead of the social conventions of the time, you should consider having your fiancee/wife/daughter run away with a gang member she only met two days ago. It is easy to laugh at the social conventions of 90 years ago. A good film should let us look critically at contemporary costumes. Some of the scenes are obviously emotionally charged (e.g. the two lovers looking from the bow of the ship to the horizon) but one cannot escape the impression that the number, intensity, and sequencing of these scenes come from some "How to make a movie" manual that you can probably buy for $10.95 on this very site. All in all, I would say that the film reveals a decent craftsmanship, but not a single shread of art (a situation not uncommon in Hollywood). The moral standings of the film are simplistic and misleading. We don't really need to encourage teenagers to choose their life partner based on a cute face, a couple of days on a boat, and an uncomfortable one night stand. Blaming the survivors in the boats for not rescuing the people in the water is equally simplistic. Having the boat broken into pieces by a desperate mob would not have done much good to anybody. Equally difficult for me to understand is the hard stand on the character of Cal Hockley. I can see how, with a couple of minor corrections to the script, this could become the heroic fiancee who fights to save his loved one from the advances of the ruthless social climber. Cal Hockley could have been a much more complex and interesting character. But I guess that one of the golden rules of Hollywood movies is that you need a carboard-cut villain to oppose the equally cardboard-cut good guy. I saw this film in a theatre, and I don't feel any need to see it again at home. I have better things to do with my time. But if all you like in a film is to go see some special effects, and saying "ooooo..." when the ship sink, and "aaaaah...." when the main characters kiss, then this is the film for you.
Rating: Summary: I'm not even going to waste my time reviewing it. Review: This movie sucks. The romance between Kuji and Fukowa in King Kong vs. Godzilla was more believable.
