Summary: Fantastic
Review: No movie has ever impacted me emotionally as much as this epic film. Watch it if you love action, drama, or good music.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was worth seeing
Review: I thought that Titanic was one of the best films ever. I thought it was so good that I saw it six times in the theater and bought it the day it came out. If you have not seen Titanic you are missing out on a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was an excellent movie.
Review: The characters Jack and Rose were well portrayed by Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet. The movie was thoughly entertaining and well worth a look. The special effects were incredible!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: " Titanic"
Review: At first, when I had seen it in the theaters, I thought that the love story was lacking a little bit. It didn't have the, how we romance novel devoutess would say, the most perfect romance. What are a few days compared to years of falling in love again and again? The Academy Award for Best Cinematography was well deserved. Although some of the visual effects were computerized and which I found quite unrealstic in a real life movie, it was altogether what made the viewer feel that he or she was right there when it happened. Now that it is on home video and I have watched it quite a few times, it has lost its luster and power to make me cry the first time that I saw it. It doesn't have it's lasting quality that when someone watches it over and over again, they get bored unlike the " Star Wars" trilogy, the " Indiana Jones" trilogy, and other classic movies that are shown often on network television. All in all, the movie is well acquainted with beauty, good costumes, and the ability to recall historic events well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Contemporary Classic
Review: This is a movie that has it all - from adventure to romance to humor to drama. Its fairy tale romance, situated in an incredibly turbulent and surreal setting, stands above the overly sophisticated and graphically violent stories saturating the big screen today. It's blissfully and refreshingly simplistic - boy from wrong side of tracks meets girl, girl is forbidden to see him, girl sees him anyway, boat sinks. But it's in that simplicity that a sweet, innocent love blooms and demonstrates itself to be more than idle lipservice through heroism and sacrifice. Not intended to be a documentary but rather a fictional account giving insight on the attitudes and emotions during this tragic episode, Titanic is a good story well told.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you haven't seen it, don't
Review: How this film ever received 11 Oscars is still a mystery to me. Though the visual effects were spectacular, the only entertaining point in the entire ordeal is the sinking of the ship. The plot is sappy, stupid, and poorly-written. I found the film incredibly shallow and boring. There was no chemistry between Rose and Jack to make the love story seem at all real to me. DiCaprio's performance definitely did not live up to the talent he showed in previous films such as "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and "The Basketball Diaries". I was unimpressed with most of the other acting as well. This movie was not an innovation in filmmaking nor did it portray any message to the viewer. All in all, I do not believe that it did the tale of the Titanic justice and it is a not a piece of classic filmmaking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cameron is a genius along with 2 great actors
Review: DiCaprio and Winslet are magnificent! Special effects are great. Cameron hits the jackpot. In other words it is a perfect 10.The tragedy was tragic.I cried for hours.The romance was totaly romantic.It is next to Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Encounters of a Third Kind as far as I'm concerned.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great movie, a big accident
Review: This is the best movie I've ever seen. Not only because it won many Oscars, but because this is a real story, and this ship and its sinking were real, and real people died, 1500 from the 2200 that were in Titanic. And James Cameron reproduced this famous accident so well that nobody will forget it, never.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just enjoy it!!!
Review: Firstly, I would like to point out that the fact that there are 117 comments on the one video is reason enough for this movie to have affected so many people. Either love it or hate it this movie does affect you. I loved it. Yes, the dialogue was somewhat lacking but the historical facts and the way it was directed from beginning to end was brilliant.

Put together the drama, costumes, romance and special effects you could not help but enjoy it. The music was beautiful and haunting - very deserving of an award.

The romance may have been fictional but it was necessary for James Cameron to give us insight into peoples lives the ship before the sinking. The acting was good and believable.

If you hated it I suggest you either saw the making of the movie first, heard too much about it or you were thinking way too hard. Just enjoy it for what it is...a good movie. Appreciate the history.

I would like to mention that the fact there was minimal swearing, sex and violence was a nice change and quite rare for movies these days...those three things are getting pretty tiresome.

JUST ENJOY IT!!!

Summary: Its pants.
Review: This film, if thats what you can call it, is a pathetic glorification of the acting talents (??) of its two leads, and of the wonders a bit of money can do in Hollywood. Little girls will say "Oh, I loved it!", but what do they know about film? All they loved about it was the images of an over-paid star in a wet shirt. As a film studies student, I find it incredible that such a film should ever recieve 8 Oscars! Can this film really be placed in the same category as semiological and representational masterpieces such as 'On the Waterfront'? A truly great director is one that uses his films as a medium through which he communicates his ideas about people to the public. James Cameron has clearly overlooked this aspect of movie-making, and has fiocused purley on a pathetic love story followed by a sinking boat. Its crap!
