Rating: Summary: Hey, remember folks, Titanic deserves 5 stars, not 3 and 1/2 Review: One of the greatest films ever to come out of the 90s. Maybe one of the best films in history.It stands alone with Dances With Wolves, and Schindler's List as one of the most substantial of all the 90s Oscar winners. If I could give these great films more than 5 stars I would.
Rating: Summary: EXTREMLY sappy and inacurite.... Review: ....but supprisingly kept me pretty entertained for over 3 hours. What really bothered me about this film was the overwhelming hype over a film that had a terrible gym teacher style performance by Leonardo D' Caprio, a cheesy, annoying performance by Kate Winslet (who's highlight of the film was a mildly non-sexual nude scene), and an ignored, great performance by Billy Zane who played Winslet"s violent tempered fiance. The plot: a romantic affair on the Titanic between a 3rd class boy Jack (Leonardo D' Caprio) and an engaged 1st class girl Rose(Kate Winslet). The film (mostly in the opening scenes and the sinking of the ship.) is entertaining. The scenes in which Jack and Rose are in really hurt the film. The old Rose telling the story of the Titanic uses a bit of rather stupid dialouge ("The china had never been used, the beds never slept in.") When I saw it I yelled "Yea right!". I would recommend this movie to those who can aviod the sappy love story and pay attention to the rousing scenes that focus on the ship. Peace out!

Rating: Summary: A moving & very powerful film!!! Review: James Cameron's epic film about the ill-fated luxury liner is a unique & entertaining film, it begins in the present day where divers are searching for a diamond that is worth millions, there is an earie feeling when they are among the ruins, as they search they find a safe, thinking they have scored big they open it only to discover a painting of a woman wearing the diamond, when they air it on T.V. the woman recognizes it & goes to them & tells of her story, Gloria Stuart plays a 101 year old Rose who begins to tell the story of her experience aboard the Titanic, the film is told in flashbacks as we see a younger Rose(Kate Winslet) as boards, we then meet Jack(DiCaprio) who is a drifter, it becomes clear that Rose is miserable & destined to marry a rude & self-serving tycoon who she does not love, she soon meets Jack & is taken by his free-spirited personality, as they spend more time together, she is threatened by Hartley, (Billy Zane in a sinister role)her fiance', then by her mother, but ignores their warnings, the film revoles around their romance with the historical events happening in the background, Cameron's authentic detail shines here in that you actually think you are there experiencing that fateful night where so many lost their lives, Jack & Rose fall in love & the sinking of the Titanic is a realistic look at how it possibly sank after hitting an iceberg, one of Cameron's best & authentic.
Rating: Summary: Grand movie making in the style of old Hollywood epics Review: Titanic is a wonderful movie. In a time of cynicism it is heart-warming that it's life reaffirming message was so eagerly accepted by the world's movie audiences. Millions of people connected with this movie, making it, deservedly, the biggest movie in history. The movie has its loud and obnoxious detractors, but they are mainly tasteless, insecure teenage boys with a silly jealousy thing going on over Leonardo DiCaprio's popularity with women. Ignore those idiots and enjoy this grand spectacle in the style of classic Hollywood epics. This film is brilliant in EVERY way. Acting, music, technically, just in every way. It richly deserved its 11 oscars. Historians have emphasized over and over the fact that the Titanic sinking has never been told as accurately as here. The fictional love story does not detract from the tragedy, but serves to bring in modern-day audiences with a story they can relate to and helps them appreciate the scope of the tragedy as never before. Anyone who is not moved by this film (other than some silly teenage boys) could be a sociopath and I would be afraid to sleep in the same house with them. Seriously, buy this DVD, forget the hype and just sit back and enjoy brilliant film making at its best. Forget your cynicism and get caught up in a very touching story set against the backdrop of one of the most enduring tragedies of all time. The sinking is especially well filmed, with awesome special effects and presented so realistically that you will feel like you are on the ship. Long after the films obnoxious little detractors have grown old and silent this film will stand as a testament to great and enduring film making.
Rating: Summary: What can I say? Review: I've watched this movie about 20 times and each time I watch it I get transfixed by this perfect love story. I'm sure that anyone who watches this will fall in love with it. It's a tragic love story that stays in the heart forever. I love it! Buy it!
Rating: Summary: About a Love Story Review: okay; now Titanic really wasn't about the ship. It was about two young people who found true love. Being on the ship was just an extra bonus. It irratates me when people are like mad at the movie because they ay it didn't focus on the sinking. It wasn't about the ship in the first place people! Gosh. The movie was about a woman who found love on the Titanic and was sharing her story about how she recieved the necklace. This was definatly on e of the greatest movies I've ever seen in my life so far. So people don't get mad at the movie for not focusing on the sinking; you knew from the start it was a love story
Rating: Summary: The Absolute, No Questions Asked All Time Worst Movie Ever Review: I can't believe that this is the most popular movie of all time... The fact that this movie won eleven Oscars is the real American tragedy. ...This movie is right down there with The Matrix and Gone With The Wind. Leonardo di Caprio is the "star", Kate Winslet is the "body", and James Cameron is the "mastermind" behind this whole debacle. This is another example of cheap Hollywood commercialism. How many times are movies going to exploit great tragedies...? The only good part about this movie is that Leo dies. But even that's a jip because his death isn't nearly as painful as three and a half hours of this movie. If there's one movie that I'd destroy forever, this is it.
Rating: Summary: Really, really lame Review: We live in a strange world. Comic books are being written that are intelligent and poetic. Yet, I have a hard time trying to think of a good movie made in the last ten years. The problems with this film are almost limitless. 1. It is historically inaccurate. 2. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio. He is the archtypical pretty-boy actor (this position was once held by Tom Cruise). He handsome in away that makes teenage girls croon and every one else want to bash his face in with a sledgehammer. _Casablanca_ and _The African Queen_ (the two greatest love stories of film) starred Humphrey Bogart who is ugly as a mule, but unlike any leading "man" today, he could act with great subtlety. 3. ... I could go forever.
Rating: Summary: Candyfloss Review: The highly overrated movie Titanic won the hearts of movie-goers all over the world. The story is not really about the tragedy that happened on the Titanic virgintrip but is basicaly a Romeo and Juliet love story. The story about impossible love as Jack Dawson(DiCaprio) falls in love with the socialite Rose DeWitt Bukater (Winslet) and the impossible love between the poor Jack and the rich and soon to be married Rose, and how they try to defy the will of Rose's family and her (villainous) husband-to-be. As for the ship we all know the ending, as for the main characters it is not my job to tell here. This is really a movie aimed at romance loving, female, moviegoers. As for the rest of us the movie is like candyfloss it is great at first but soon it becomes sickening sweet. As for the movie as whole, it is well construced, the special effects are good(with a few exeptions) and it hits right where it was intended. I personaly don't know what was worst. The movie or Camerons speech when he got an Oscar.
