Summary: Let's not be grouchy, kids!
Review: I live in Europe where bashing over-the-top Hollywood movies is an art form, but I've always stood up for "Titanic". It's an astonishingly good looking movie, for one thing - when a director spends $200 million, you expect good, and boy, do we get good here. You don't ever realize that the sinking scene takes an entire 45 minutes, it's that well paced. The love story is beautifully done, Gloria Stuart is fabulous as the 101-year-old lady, and let's face it - I sure ain't the only one who hopes that someday someone will look at me the way Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Kate Winslett from the top of that damn staircase. Yeah, this isn't Ingmar Bergman. Good. Very good that it's not.

Summary: I will defend Titanic till Death!!
Review: It's simply the best film of the 90s. It's simply the greatest disaster film in history. It has enduring characters. A sumptuous plot. Lovable music. Beautiful cinematography. AND a well written script...on the contrary, a BAD script is more like that of Gone in 60 Seconds or Battlefield Earth... This movie will fill you full of joy, inject you with a passion for two likable characters, Jack and Rose, and rewards you will some of the most realistic (not to mention) effect scenes in film history (Titanic's sinking). Be that as it may, you'll be at awe with shock or fear for Jack and Rose...then, comes sheer sadness. Overwhelming emotions that would be difficult to find any other movie.

Summary: Is this the North Atlantic? Or the Blue Lagoon?
Review: When Titanic came out on VHS, there was a booming business in Utah editing out the 2-minute steamy window scene. Instead, they should have edited out 160 minutes of gratuitous plot. Not content with merely adding a love story between the likable Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, director James Cameron threw everything (kitchen dishes, sinks and all) into this trite film: indifferent mother, sexist fiance, famous jewels, jolly immigrants, villainous butler, and even a submarine treasure hunt. What were they thinking? The loss of 1200+ souls in one of the most searing failures of mankind to respect nature wasn't gripping enough? Even the glorious special effects work against this film. The panoramic views of the ballroom and the outside of the ship, so wonderful to look at in the theater, limp along on the largest wide-screen TV. And there are no extras (like a "making of" of) any sort included on the DVD. People will still be weeping through "A Night to Remember" long after this film has sunk into well-earned obscurity.

Summary: It's a wonderful movie
Review: Titanic unaccurate? The only reason Titanic wasn't accurate was because Cameron intentionally used his fictional characters to effect the real ones. [...] But go watch Titanic and see for yourselves. [...]

Summary: The Best movie
Review: I have never been a big fan of this type of film, but after I was fourced to go I absolutly feel in love with the movie,Titanic remains to be the only movie ever to make me cry. A movie has never afftected me the way this one did, and still does. As far a accuracy, if anyone can find another film about titanic which you think is more accurate I'll be very suprised. The performances of Kate Winslet, Leo Dicaprio, and Billy Zane are fabulous, especially at such young ages. See the movie, ignore the infants trying to bash the movie.

Summary: Titanic a Very Long Movie but a Good One
Review: Long but still really good. It has a lot of action in the end and is a huge emmy award. Kind of sad and is fun to watch. It is the best! You will never get sick of watching this flick. It was a huge dissaster and is remembered after all these years. With Rose and Jack lighting up the screen you cant go wrong. Those two love bugs are a perfect match. A lot of romance and action this movie is for YOU! Spose to be a VHS.

Summary: Titanic The Best film ever made and still is today since 97.
Review: Titanic I would have to say was the best film I have ever seen. It had great acting by Kate Winslet as Rose Dewitt Bukater, Billy Zane as Cal Hockley, and of course Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson. The other actor's/ actress's were great as well. The script/ dialouge was great I loved it. It was just the best film I've ever seen. If you love drama's/romance's thoose type's of films you will defently love Titanic. Rose and Jack have fallin in love, but Cal does not appove of this and want's to take Jack out of the picture. Jack and Rose's love is soo strong that neither of them are going to be apart until the ship docks. There love will be tested when the ship has hit an iceberg and Titanic will sink. Of course Jack and Rose will stick together through thick an thin to be with each other. They both have been in the ocean for a while because Rose decides not to go in a lifeboat. After minutes or hours have passed Jack has died and Rose will go on with her life as she promised Jack that she will survive and she does. Titanic is a sad, but happy movie over all. I really loved Titanic and will keep enjoying it. James Cameron I have to say he did an excellent job in directing this movie. It's the best movie I have to say he ever did so far. It's so great that I have been watching it a million times. I will keep doing so. I bet that you will love it as well as I did and many other's.

Summary: A Great Movie !!! Not a documentary
Review: I can't believe all the negative reviews about this movie because it didn't depict the true story 100%. If you wanted to see a documentary then go get that!!!
This movie opened the eyes to many younger generation people who really had no idea about the Titanic and all the people that died. I first saw it in an IMAX theater and you better believe it felt real! Sure the love story depicted in the movie was an added bonus but can any of us say that there weren't people in love on that ship (I'm sure there were several love stories taking place!) So someone actually used their imagination and made up a love story so the movie would be something both tragic and beautiful.

Summary: The "Gone with the Wind" of the 1990's...
Review: I bet that if Amazon.com had been around in 1939, you could have gone to the "Gone with the Wind" page and read reviews that were just as bad as some of those found here. But, don't be fooled. "GWTW" turned out to be a classic, and "Titanic" will, too. "Titanic" is essentially two interconnected movies. The first, or course, follows the historic accounts of the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic and its tragic sinking due to the combination of neglectful overconfidence from her crew and a well-placed iceberg. The second film concerns the events surrounding a pair of fictional star-crossed lovers who meet aboard the doomed ship. The historical aspects of the movie are unparalleled. Cameron did his homework on this part of the film, even going so far as to dive and film on the actual wreck in the North Atlantic. All of the well-known figures are shown - The proud Captain Smith, the self-centered Bruce Ismay, head of the White Star Line, the tragic Thomas Andrews, the ship's designer aboard for the maiden voyage, the fiery Molly Brown, played wonderfully by Kathy Bates, John Astor, richest man aboard the ship, the tragic First Officer Murdoch (did he really shoot himself? An unsolved historical mystery) plus a host of other minor characters. Cameron makes use of examinations of the wreck to recreate the impact with the berg and the sinking itself in precise detail. Anyone who says that this film is not historcially accurate does not know what they are talking about. The romance between star-crossed lovers Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt-Bukater is the standard doomed romance that filmmakers always seem to feel they have to insert into history-based films in order to get more people in the door. I thought that both DiCaprio and Winslet turned in decent performances, if not worthy of best-actor/actress nominations. People have taken James Cameron to task becuase he did not write them a bunch of super-deep, Bogart-Bacall dialogue. Well, how much deep dialogue are you supposed to expect from a vagabond teenage punk kid and a spoiled-brat rich girl marrying a guy she doesn't love? Anyone expecting deep dialogue from a pair of teenagers has clearly never been around REAL teens. People say that DiCaprio and Winslet turned in stereotypical, shallow performances, but I think they captured the behavior of 95% of real teens perfectly. Jack Dawson acted like any other teen would who suddenly captured the eye of a good-looking rich girl, and Rose acted like any spoiled, pampered little rich girl just waiting for an excuse to rebel against her overbearing mother. I cheered for her when she told her mother off just before she boarded the lifeboat. Both of them acted like typcial teens experiencing their first love affair. If both of them had survived, the relationship probably would not have lasted more than six months, tops. There were several other minor characters involved in the film, and I enjoyed them all. I thought Billy Zane had a good time chewing the scenery as the typical love-to-hate-him bad guy. David Warner was also excellent as the sinister assistant/accomplice to Zane's scheming. Overall, this is a magnificent movie. Anyone who can sit through the sequence where the band plays "Nearer my God to Thee" just before the sinking without being moved emotionally has something missing inside. The mother reading her two kids to sleep, knowing they will soon be dead, and the two old people embracing on their bed as the water flows into their room, are two images that will stay with me forever, even if I never see this film again. Cameron does an excellent job of creating a snapshot of life in 1912, and makes us truly care about the characters, most of whom will meet tragic ends in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. This movie is one for the ages. No question about it.
