Rating: Summary: Good Special Effects, OK Story Line Review: I enjoyed this movie for the special effects and attention to detail. I must say that I didn't care too much for the romance between Rose and Jack, but I thought Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio gave good performances. I enjoyed the actual collision with the iceberg and the sinking itself. The special effects in this movie are first-rate, from the near full size replica of the Titanic herself down to the grand staircase. Director James Cameron paid great attention to authenticity throughout the movie, including the sinking itself. This attention to detail led to 11 Oscar nominations for the film, as well as a world-wide gross of over 1 billion dollars. Perhaps the best part of the film was where the Titanic raises up, splits in half, and sinks. The struggle for survival in the water is accuratley portrayed as well. I am a history buff, so as I said, I liked the movie for its historical content and accuracy, but the overall plot was only lukewarm. I felt Rose's character may have been overdone a little. I got tired of her high society, holier than thou attitude. I also felt Jack went a little out of his way to impress Rose. I also enjoyed the beginning scenes where the submarines come upon the wreck itself. In the end, I liked the movie for the historical content, but I wasn't too high on the rest of it.
Rating: Summary: Leonardo Di Caprio where are you now????????? Review: I cannot stand Leonardo Di Gayio or any movie that he has acted in. I again ask what is he doing now? Nothing, hopefully because Hollywood has come to its senses and realised what a no talent pretty boy he is. I wished that the scene where Billy Zane was chasing the two 'lovebirds' throughout the ship firing a pistol at them that his aim was better.I heard a rumour that he was up for the part of Anikan Skywalker in Star Wars - Episode 2 but later rejected. THANK GOD FOR THAT!
Rating: Summary: Without a doubt, the greatest movie of All time! Review: The Titanic was not just a good movie, not just a great movie, it is the greatest movie ever. Good acting, nice story, incredible special effects with surround sound made us feel like we were right on the ship.We laughed. We cried. And we came back to see it again and again. We own it on VHS and DVD and enjoy it over and over.Titanic: Greatest Movie of All Time!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Movie. Review: Who wouldn't like this movie? Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are at their best in this movie! You better see this movie NOW! You'll love it! Think before letting the kids see it though. Rating: PG-13 for Language, Violence, and Nudity.
Rating: Summary: Unsinkable.....Just Review: When i first watched this in the cinema i thought it was good, but we had to watch it with a fifteen minute interval so that spoiled it for me a bit. But i recently bought a copy on VHS and watching it at home is a totally different experience, the title music takes you into the film, (it is so haunting) and from then on you are on a roller coaster ride (sort of). The only thing that James Cameron did wrong was casting Leo as Jack, he looked to young and baby faced to play "a man of the world". I also rufuse to buy this on DVD untill there are more extras !!
Rating: Summary: Were you there? Review: I was not there when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. The story though was well known to me even so. A testament to the triumphalism of man...the Unsinkable ship...the largest and most palatial ocean liner ever to set out upon the Atlantic Ocean, destined never to reach port. Quite simply, by watching this film I get a ringside view of the sheer horror of events as the great ship slipped beneath the waves taking the majority of those on board with her. The inter-weaving story is sweet of course and there to create a beginning, middle and end which it does, and does well. Otherwise just show the film from when the iceberg hits and call it documentary, since the historical accuracy apart of the overlaid fictional story is not in question. Shots were fired into the crowd to maintain order, the third class passengers were kept locked below to a watery fate, lest they swamp the boats of the more life deserving first class passengers. (Horror on so many levels). The band really did play on...to the last and to a man. The story was told in my infancy as a lesson in big-headedness. This film makes that lesson visible. I found myself saying a prayer for all those souls. Utterly spectacular. Utterly distressing.
Rating: Summary: Incredible Movie to never be forgotten! Review: This movie strikes me with awe everytime I see it. When I think about all the money and all the work that went into that whole movie, it is just amazing. Many people say that this movie is very sad, and I guess you could say that it is, if you are into the romance aspects. I personally am not, and although I have seen this movie probably more than 10 times, I have not yet cried once during the very romantic seen with Jack and Rose. The thing that hits me the most, really, about the whole movie, is that the Titanic WAS real! People actually had to go through that. None of us can really say exactly what it was like to be on the ship as it sank, but I can't really imagine it being much much different then as it was portrayed in the film. The women and children who were on the Titanic actually had to say good bye to their husbands and fathers knowing full-well that they were going to die and that it would be very painful and harsh. People actually did jump off the boat, and it really gave me the idea of what the actual chaos was really like. I can't begin to imagine what I would do if I were ever in a situation like those poor people. So, I thought this movie was very real. I am not much of the romance type of girl, so I didn't really care about the romance in the story. ... My favorite part of the movie was most definitely: BILLY ZANE!! ...I thought he played an incredible role in the movie... he somehow ALWAYS pulls off that villain role perfectly! Everyone who watches the movie learns to hate him...The things he says and the way he acts is perfect, and I don't think anyone could've pulled off that role better than my Billy. ... You will not be disappointed with this one!! ... So anyway, I do have to agree though that some of the acting wasn't that great. Some people were just better than others. I thought Kate Winslet was alright... Leo was pretty good... Kathy Bates was good... the guy who played Lovejoy was good... the guy who played Mr. Andrews was good... The Captain Smith guy was really good. I didn't really think that Gloria Stuart was that great. There was just something in the way she said "I would like to see my drawing!" that just seemed fake. But I really did think that the best performance out of the whole movie was from Billy Zane, ...I think he did a great job of getting people to hate him and he always seemed real. ...I think that every aspect of it was great. I forgot to add something else... the music was incredible! James Horner is a total genius and I think that the music was the perfect exclamation point to the entire movie! I would recommend this movie to anyone who is in for a movie that is excited, romantic, and fun all at the same time. I think that it can be appealing to both men and women. It is like a "chick flick" with the romantic story... but it can also appeal to men with its reality and excitement. You get attached to characters during the story and you watch to see if they make it in the end...buy it, rent it, whatever you want to do. I don't think you will be disappointed unless you are very picky about movies...

Rating: Summary: An excellent movie! Review: Titanic is one of my favorite movies and it doesn't deserve under five stars. I enjoyed every minute of it. Kate & Leo did an excellent job, and so did all the other actors and actresses. All the special affects were awesome and the costumes were beautiful. So all I'm saying is this great movie and you shouldn't believe otherwise.
Rating: Summary: If i could have given this a minus 1 million i would have. Review: Can someone please write to me and tell me what i'm missing? What is the attraction to this in-accurate account of what really happened? Maybe a different name would have sparked a small interest. This is the worse piece of thrash that Hollywood has ever come up with. That kid Leonardo,,,,,is he really an actor? What is his claim to fame? I just don't get it. There is NOTHING about this film that is of redeaming value. I've seen better grammar school productions. Sorry folks, i know i'm in the minority on this and either "i" need an attuide ajustment or the viewing public had to be on serious drugs when they saw this poorly acted, poorly directed and new story line that had NOTHING to do with the actual title. And what is it with special effects that turn people on? If i've said it once, i've said it a thousand times,,,if you have to have special effects in a movie, it because the acting is VERY BAD. Definate example of bad acting. By far the WORSE Hollywood film ever!
