Summary: Excellent movie, if not the best!
Review: James Cameron did a wonderful job of telling the story of the Titanic. Everything in the movie was top notch (acting,special effects,plot,etc.) and a must see! I saw it 3 times in the theater(Once to drool over Leo) and own the video. END

Summary: I thought that the movie was really boring.
Review: I know that everyone says its great, I just didn't enjoy it. If some people liked it, they can go ahead and buy it. But make sure you see it before you buy it, you may not like it. If you like romance, go ahead and get it but I wouldn't recommmend it. END

Summary: The ship might sink at the end, but the acting already sunk.
Review: Effects, effects, effects. But not much else. How can a love story be so highly regarded when you can't care about the characters. I really didn't feel for either character, but Kate Winslet was just herendous as Rose. The was only one truly interesting character in the movie, and that was Kathy Bates playing the Unsinkable Molly Brown. END

Summary: Great cinematography and mediocre acting
Review: I wasn't even planning to see this movie. Really. The ads for it didn't grab me, in fact, they made me not want to go. I'm even a big fan of James Cameron's work. If you said he was directing it and nothing else then I'd go in a heartbeat. The same as I would have gone to see a Ron Howard, Steven Speilberg flick. So many of my friends gave it a rave review that I finally checked it out in person. I will say that I was not impressed by the acting. Kathy Bates was the only brilliant performer cast in the film. (though her role doesn't take advantage of her talent) I loved the music and I was sucked into the movie despite being a skeptic. The vocabulary doesn't sound like it is set in the right time period. The effects are flawless but the script wasn't. It was an afternoon of suspense and eye candy. Not everyone will forgive the fact that Cameron spent more time with the effects that with the performances and dialogue. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that the film was so expensive that multiple takes were scarce. That's my guess. Bottom line: See it for the effects and the experience of what appears to be a realistic representation of a tragic event. The acting is poor enough to draw attention to itself but it isn't as bad as some folks are claiming. If you wanna see a better acted movie. Check out Good Will Hunting or Saving Private Ryan. I'm giving JC a break for risking his neck and keeping me throughly entertained once again. END

Review: Poor excuse for a movie. Read a book about the actual disaster, and then you will really cry. END

Summary: get off the morals
Review: I just got done reading all of the reviews here on this site, and I can't beleive all the talk about the "immorality" of it. This movie is the most historically correct version of the sinking, who cares how much it cost, or even how "immoral" it is. If we based all future movies on the questions of cost and morality, the film industry would become extinct. With this said, I enjoyed the movie and plan to buy it, I would also recommend this film to anyone any age. END

Summary: This Titanic stinks on ice.
Review: It assaults the senses to think that a film about two fictional characters who meet aboard ship and end up having sex three days later in the back seat of John Jacob Astor's car - in 1912, no less - could become the most popular movie of our time. What a disgusting insult to history, and to the great ship Titanic. Is this supposed to be a "tribute" to the 1,500 people who died at sea on April 15, 1912? Cameron's film makes a mockery of the Titanic story. He turns history on its ear for the sake of a mediocre soap opera story. Maybe some screen time could have been spent paying attention to the real people who sailed aboard that ship, and not to Rose's dopey "Freudian" comments - which in 1912 Edwardian society would have gotten her pitched overboard. See "A Night To Remember" (1958), based on Walter Lord's classic bestseller, for the true account of the Titanic disaster. And sink this new "Titanic" into any trash-holding receptacle nearest you.

Summary: When all is said and done, Titanic is a tremendous film.
Review: My wife and 11-year old son saw Titanic, and afterwards she insisted on a return trip with me so I could see it on the big screen. Normally I am not an aficionado of blockbusters, but this time I was truly impressed by this film. None of the criticisms levelled at this movie can diminish its power. I did not find the love story between Jack and Rose nearly as weakly written as many have noted--in fact, the rumored "non-chemistry" between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet never showed to me. Even though this is a three-hour plus film, I never looked at my watch once, and the tension created from the moment the iceberg is sighted to the final sinking is a case study in directoral finesse by James Cameron. Yes, occasionally the script shows weaknesses, and some of the characters are stiffly created. This is minor stuff, to be sure. The emotional tug of Titanic can appeal to both sexes and all ages--my wife was not the only one to fight back tears at the end. Maybe Titanic is not Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind (what films are?), but it certainly deserves it's awards and plaudits and will take it's place as the definitive film version of this story probably long after we're all gone, or actual 3-D is created so we, too, can really sink with the ship. Until then, this will do! END
