Summary: This one was just a master-piece!
Review: Its` beautifully picturised. Not to mention the creative excellence, the designing of the ship. Performance of De Caprio/Cathy Winslet was just superb. Overall its` not only lively/entertaining but makes the audience feel sorry for the unfortunate happenings at the end, which unquestinably should `ve taken everyone to the edge of the seats & swallow their finger-nails. OOPS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing attention to detail
Review: The director could have cut a lot of corners to save money, but the film is worth watching just to see the wonderful recreation of the ship, the period-authentic costumes and so on. The cruise ships now, though fireproof, just aren't the same. The sound track, a pleasure in itself, adds to the experience without shattering the nerves. The movie leads us to ask the question, "What would I do in these circumstances?" It is inspiring to see so many brave women characters in the film.

Another theme, social stratification, is poignant, and one wonders what the ship, populated with noveau riche from today, would look like, and how they would act? The director makes excellent use of imagery. For example the couple running through the coal firing room as they fall more deeply in love, compares to Hal's lighting of cigars. The many subtle, recurring themes, such as "hands": poker, the drawings, the car window, and our last glimpse of the sinking hero, to name just a few of the obvious ones, make watching the movie one more time a fascinating experience. The movie has thousands of secrets, details and surprises which make it a real work of art. It is true to live, yet bigger than life, and the beauty is in the details.

Summary: Prize winning sinker
Review: Deserving every award as the most over-hyped, over -sold and over-popular celluloid extravagance of our century, this is visually a tale--told by a woman made up to look 60 but pretending to be 104--about a concrete hotel with a moat [no one who has seen an ocean would confuse this with a boat] which experiences very slow demolition. Cartoonist Gary Trudeau was on target when he said it was so over-budget that they couldn't afford a script. Unless you are a junkie for simulated maritime design failures in agonizingly real time, this vacuous ordeal leaves you with only a bad case of adolescent rebelliousness in which a bouncy boy and a badly miscast actress half-again his size act out against a shooting gallery of upper-class caricatures. The only reason to own this is so you can refuse to show it to more kids.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Oscar material
Review: I saw Titanic in the theater. It was ok, but not good enough to win the Oscar for best picture. LA Confidential should have beaten it for best picture. It had a better plot and was just a better movie. I don't like DiCaprio or Winslet, and the only ones I do like from the whole cast is Paxton and Zane. This movie did not have to be as long as it did. They dragged too many scenes out and some were even unnessecary. If you havn't seen it (yeah right), rent LA Confidential instead.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HATED IT!
Review: The most over-hyped movie of the century. De Caprio was a wimp and Winslett looked pudgy. It was a ship, it sank, get over it. This movie should not be viewed and taken seriously by anyone over the age of 12.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 3 Hour Movie-2 Hour Waste
Review: This movie had one of the worst plots I have ever seen. You can tell right from the start that it will end in tragedy, but James Cameron drags the already thin plot out over two hours before the real action even begins. The only thing that saved this movie from total disaster were the effects, and even they were a tad fake at times. I also think that it's somewhat depressing to see James Cameron spend so much money to make a blockbuster out of one of the most horrible disasters in history. You have to ask yourself, "Where's the respect for the hundreds of people that died that night in 1912?"

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Warped Romance: Rose endangers Jack
Review: Titanic is a hideous movie, a splendidly produced and widely acclaimed glorification of the ugliest of twisted sexual politics.

Rose endangers Jack with a kinky and dangerous game, most notably enticing him into her chambers to sketch her with her fiance's rock around her neck, insisting that Jack sign it. Then she leaves the sketch with a note in the safe: "Just wanted you to see that I was sharing it with Jack"! or something to that effect.

What sick motivation would cause a woman to write such a thing and endanger someone in this way? Romantic? Rose is a corrupt and nasty female.

Once Rose has set up this incredibly dangerous situtation, she leads Jack through the hold of the boat, knowing that her fiance's thugs could easily throw him into the drink and noone would ever be the wiser.

"Touch me, Jack," she sighs. Could she endanger him more?

And when the rock is found in his pocket, she doesn't defend him, not even for a second: "Jack, how could you?!" is all she says as he is led away.

What a hideous woman! With a friend like Rose, all Jack needed was for the boat to sink!

Everyone is lauding this film and praising the romance of it. I am astounded. Rose is the most femme fatale of all and Jack dies saving the precious, useless wench. Why would you call any of this Love?

Titanic is an ugly story about a woman with nasty motivations endangering one of our competent, sweet Wisconsin farm boys to his deadly peril.

The way I look at this movie, Rose is a hideous, selfish witch, clear to the end, when she throws away a priceless gem. How many great-grandchildren does she have who could stand to go to college? She's a potter, right? And she throws the rock away!? Dah.

What is romantic about any of this?

This story about the romantic memories of a sweet little old lady which everyone is talking about is, when I look at it, one of the most hideously embarassing tales of a woman setting a man up for her own vindictive jollys without any concern about endangering him that I have ever seen on film and it is only in the telling of that story that it has any value at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The absolute greatest movie of all time!!
Review: This movie is an action packed, love filled adventure that you've got to see. This movie will move you're heart at least four inches. I've seen Titanic three times and I saw something new each time. As I said before, it's an absolute must-see movie; with all star preformances!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I thought it wasn't worth watching more than 2wice
Review: I liked Titanic(I saw it at the theater last January)but it was kinda cheesy and sorta unrealistic.Leonardo is very good-looking but if he is exposed too much then he can get very old if you know what I mean.Kate was kinda fat but the guys that I was with when I watched it said she was a babe!Titanic wasn't worth watching more than 2wice because it kind of goes into a lot of detail about the ship and sinking. I'd say 100% liked the movie I'd say 100% hated the movie

The percentage is about the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A love story in an unsinkable ship!!!
Review: The movie background is very good. James Cameron made a great thing. The ship and all of the stuff looks just like real. You feel like you are living with the people in the same ship and you just understand how big the disaster. It was a very good movie. You can't stop watching it for several times because it hurts you. And you feel sorry for the people who died on April 15th 1912 in the real Titanic. You can't stop crying. Overall, it is NOT a waste of money and you can love that movie when you watch it. Try it.
