Summary: Gloria Stuart was robbed! The best film ever!!
Review: Any great movie depends on the story, any story depends on the teller. Ms. Stuart voice and eyes conveys every nuance of emotion. Why the Academy gave the Oscar to Kim Basinger is beyond me. Anyhow, this is a film for the ages crafted, well thought out, with excellent acting, costumes, computer animation and wonderful direction.

The tragedy of Titanic's sinking will always remind people not to think too highly of engineering achievements.

Summary: Over-rated
Review: I thought this movie was very over-rated. I thought it was boring, too long, should have been rated "R" with nudity, depressing, and just plain stupid. The special effects were wonderful, but was for the rest... Pure corny.

Summary: "Titanic" owner and proud of it
Review: Despite the unimaginative script and mediocre acting, there is simply something about this movie that's enjoyable. Perhaps it's the undeniable chemistry of its young leads, or the credibility of the disaster against which their story is set. Overall, Titanic was able to live up to its commercial hype, and the compelling story of the disaster which could have been prevented is enough to keep me watching this video again and again.

Summary: Oh please
Review: This is so realistic. An old lady still deeply in love, with some kid she spent one night with more then 70 years ago. Does this not make sense to everyone. I mean she only had a husband and family, 'course she'd still remembers the guy. Let's see other problems? Too many horrid acting for one (Leo's best scene was when he looked like a frog sinking down down down...) The only good actor was the computer generated one who bounced off the propeller. Don't waste you time.

Summary: BORING!!!
Review: I'm sorry but this film didn't keep my interest. I'm even a forteen year old girl and I still didn't like it. Maybe I'm just not into romance movies. Many parts of the movie I wasn't even paying attention. The movie got tedious at times I found myself shifting in the theater seat. The only part that kept my interest was the actual ship sinking. That was done pretty good. It's amazing how many Titanic lovers critisize the people who don't like it to be in denial. What's wrong with them not liking the same movie you do? Isn't everyone entitled to their own oppinion? Why does it make you mad that their favorite movie isn't the same as yours? Sorry I've seen much better movies than Titanic. But then again maybe I'm not interest in Romance stories. What's next? Rose and Jack meet on a WWI battle feild? Rose and Jack in the Chicago fire? Rose and Jack in the Normandy Invasion? Rose and Jack meet in the Depression?

Summary: An Awesome Movie
Review: This is a must see, but once or twice only. Any more than that, you'll become bored, however, if this is the first time you are seeing it, try to get it on DVD, with its 5.1 DD Soundtrack. The Music is more than half the movie, and only a DVD can do true justice to Titanic. However, it is watchable on VHS, and is simply amazing. A Must See.

Summary: Entertainment Baby!
Review: Many people now hate this movie because it is loved so much by so many people. No doubt, it is very spectatular and entertaining, but when the characters open their mouths, one hopes it is not stupider than the last thing they said. But guess what folks? The original intention of a movie is to entertain and then everything else comes next. Forget all the hype and awards; just sit back and enjoy.

Summary: The Golden Excrement Award Goes To.....
Review: Titanic is the classic "style over substance" film. Sure, the special effects are eye-candy to say the least but I believe Cameron (who's supposed to be a "perfectionist") should have cut down on the FX and used some of the money to hire a decent script-writer. The Rose-Jack love story (if one can call it "love") is one of those "trite and true" sappy love stories you've seen ten times over in other Hollywood romance films and novels - you know, poor little rich girl falls in love with poor little boy (who in this case looks like a girl) against her mother's (and fiancé's) better judgment. Each of the other characters was a cardboard cut-out stereotype - the Victorian villain of melodrama (Cal, Rose's fiancé), the diamond-in-the-rough poor folk (almost every character with an Irish accent) and the snooty upper-class twit (every single first class passenger, with the possible exception of the "unsinkable" Molly Brown). The dialogue is laughably bad, with Jack and Rose talking and behaving like two sexed up teens from the 1990's. Leo, as most people would have guessed, was hired for the sole purpose of enticing teenage girls into going to see the film, and then going to see it again, and again, and again etc. The Freud/Picasso in-jokes were also horribly stupid and invalid - Freud had not been translated into English yet, and none of Picasso's works were on the Titanic! I could write a ten-page essay on the various other goofs and aphorisms I spotted (e.g. filtered cigarettes in 1912? a world map with present-day international boundaries?). How this film ever got past the editing room remains a mystery.

The worst aspect of this film is that it isn't even about the Titanic itself. The disaster is merely the setting for the aforementioned "love" story. The sinking of the Titanic was the worst tragedy in maritime history, and involved REAL people, not two time-warped nineties mall rats and a couple thousand cardboard cut-outs! Come to think of it, Cameron could've based his film around any major disaster in history, added the characters of Jack and Rose and he would've had more or less the same result. Maybe Cameron thought that watching Jack and Rose wading through raging waters in the bowels of Titanic was more "romantic" than seeing them skip hand in hand over burning planks of wood during the Great Chicago Fire.

My favourite scene in the film: while the ship is slowly sinking, and while people are either screaming their lungs out, freezing to death or being sucked in to rotating propellers, all that Rose can think of saying is "Jack, this is where we first met!". How romantic! Please, for the sake of good art, don't buy this travesty! If you already own it, bury it....no, even better - burn it this instant!
