Summary: A film for the ages
Review: Rented the video tape ... bought two DVDs of TITANIC and LOVED it.
Leonardo DiCaprio was marvelous as was Billy Zane and the rest of the male cast.
The females were too wooden and stereotypical however; Kate Winslow was either sniveling over mean old Cal or drooling over Jack (who can blame her? and NO I am NOT a teenager )... Francis Fisher was the cardboard snot and Kathy Bates a buffoonish and fictional Molly Brown.
The photography and special effects were beautifully rendered and the storyline was clean and clear.
The love story was pure Romeo and Juliet with a touch of modern feelings to it.
The tragedy at the end will be hard for some to take post 9-11: unlike Star Wars, Star Trek , Lord or the Rings et al not only the "bad" guys die and the violence is not comic book : real people good and bad die horrible deaths.
But it is an excellent film and I went into it not wanting to like it.
I LOVE this film : had you guessed?

Summary: An Atrocious Movie?
Review: Okay, it wasn't that bad. I would have given it maybe 3 stars based on it being a sappy story with impressive effects and excellent costumes and set design.HOWEVER - this movie has the most atrocious, mindless, badly written dialogue of all time. It was NOT in any way true to the period which was not only incredibly distracting but it would have been SO easy to fix. It was badly paced, badly acted and grated on my nerves to the point where at the end, when Leonardo does the cannonball to the bottom of the Atlantic, I had to laugh out loud! Just so I wouldn't have to hear him talk again! If you enjoy period pieces with elegant, refined or even remotely historically accurate language, this is not the movie for you.

Summary: One Of the Best
Review: I can't say enough good things about this movie. There's a good reason why it was so successful in the theaters. I'm proud to own it on dvd, like a lot of other people, i'm sure! If you've never seen this great epic of a film, you must be living under a rock somewhere or something. Hat's off to all the actors in this masterpiece!

Summary: Seven years-It's over
Review: Even after seven years I still see that this movie is still loved by many and is held on high. I admit, when it first came out, I liked it, only because I was a young teenager that didn't know the difference between a true masterpiece and something like this. Now that I look back on it, I begin to wonder how something like this can be taken to heart. When you look at it, you begin to wonder how somebody like James Cameron ever took on the role, when he had such a wonderful resume already with amazing films like "The Abyss." Now that film in itself is worth watching over and over. This however, after the first hour, you begin to wonder what you are watching. Is it a movie about a true event or just some fantasy world for little teenagers to enjoy. It's pretty sad when you base your likings on a movie just because two young stars are in it. No matter how bad their acting really is. I only wish that "As Good as it Gets" won that year, but not too suprisingly, this for some reason was voted better by the Academy. Hopefully, this year they'll choose well in their awarding of Best Picture.

Summary: Surprised it made any money at all
Review: Easily one of the worst movies of all time. Sappy, poorly acted, next to no plot. The saving graces for the film were the sweeping views and special effects, though they were hardly enough to waste your time on. The movie brings nothing to the table and leaves you with exactly that, nothing. DiCaprio looks young and out of place in what was supposed to be a steamy love affair. Winslet looks the part but can't seem to get a line out without some odd facial expressions. Certainly one of Camerons worst works yet.

Summary: The Titanic Epic
Review: Winning 11 Academy Awards, Titanic is a huge hit. Based after the historical Titanic ship and story line, this film portrays the tragedy of the night that the deemed to be unsinkable Titanic sunk. I enjoyed this epic film because of the history behind the movie and the infiltration of a love story. Leonardo Dicaprio played as Jack Dawson, a low society member and Kate Winslet played as Rose Dewitt Bukater, a high society figure. Their hidden romance portrayed through out the film was enduring and captured the hearts of the audience. I felt that this disaster epic was well written and produced and the footage that the producer was able to create and capture is remarkable. It left one feeling as if you were really there, on the Titanic and it was easy to feel as if you were part of the time and event. This is a wondering film that can be enjoyed by many different age groups except for young children.

Summary: Titanic - A truly glorious film!
Review: If this incredible films winning of eleven Academy awards including Best Picture and Best director and being the highest grossing film of all time doesn't speak for itself I don't know what else would. "Titanic" is quite simply one of the best tales of a true life tragedy interspersed with a fictional love story ever made, all of which combines to make director James Cameron appear a true genius which in terms of being a film director he is. Only one note of caution need be applied to watching this film on DVD and that is to know where the pause button is on your DVD player when considering the three hour length of the film. I will freely admit that I'm not a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan but when it comes to this film he did an exceptional job in the role of Jack. Instrumental in the success of this film, beyond the exceptional script, is the performance given by the ever beautiful Kate Winslet in the role of Rose. Noteworthy are the performances given by the supporting cast to include the likes of David Warner, Kathy Bates and Billy Zane and of course a couple of James Cameron's staple actors who crop up in almost all of his films in Bill Paxton and Jenette Goldstein. As testimony to the brilliance of director James Cameron one only needs to take a look at his list of directorial and script credits which includes; "The Terminator," "Aliens," "The Abyss," "T2: Judgment Day," "True Lies" and "Titanic." With a list such as this one James Cameron has most certainly gone down in history as one of the most successful directors/screen writers in history and deservedly so. It would be nice to see him take a break from television and take up the film directing mantle once again as one can almost call it a sure bet film when he's in the director's chair. The Premise: On April 14th, 1912 one of western civilization's most tragic events occurred when a ship thought to be unsinkable did exactly that, struck an iceberg and sank killing hundreds of passengers in the process as the ships builders seemed to have made one mistake after another in the construction of this "magnificent" vessel. Director/screen writer James Cameron concocts a glorious love story around this true life tragedy and quite poignantly portrays the disparity of classes aboard the vessel as the first class passengers live in the lap of luxury even during the "abandonment" of the vessel while the poor are treated with palpable disdain to include being locked below decks after the ship begins to sink. While the true story of this movie is the sinking of the ship told through Cameron's brilliant writing and direction there is whole myriad of other things going on that are not noticeable but would've been had they been done incorrectly, chief among these are the costumes and the sets of the Titanic. The truly fictitious portion of this tragedy is told through Rose Dawson Calvert (Gloria Stuart) as she regales present day treasure hunters of her time on the Titanic and the gloriously passionate but brief love affair between her and Jack Dawson who was a free spirited artist who taught her how to live despite his destiny... I highly recommend this film to any and all who are fans of what movie making is all about! {ssintrepid} Special Features: -Theatrical Trailer
