Summary: So Silly It Avoided Being Wicked
Review: Do you wish history consisted of nineties people behaving badly? Is so, then this film is for you. Imagine steerage on a boat in 1912, an era when card playing on Sunday was frowned on in a liner and men and women were housed apart, consisting of "free spirits" from an end of the century frat house! Picture every rich person a snob or a prop! Imagine two leads, one over ripe for the part, the other unable to deliver a line, stumbling through a plot straight from high school theater. If you imagine all of this, then this is the movie for you. This is a water logged hellish little movie. If people in 1912 had been as loutish as portrayed in this film, men like Bob Dole would not have fought to allow people to make such tripe. If people in 1912 had been as silly as portrayed in this film, then more first class men would have been saved. The movie lies about events with such abandon that one quickly loses count. The sets are realistic, the people are drawn straight from Days of Our Lives. The most dramatic sea disaster of all time is framed by an absurd "love" story. It is fortunate that Jack dies, since in real life such quickie ill conceived relationships end when the middle age Rose wakes up next to her balding, over weight spouse in a flat in the Village and wonders where his impulsive libido led him this week. This movie is worse than a waste of time, it is a cultural wasteland. So starved is our romance deprived culture for beauty, that even this wicked little confection seemed like the real thing. This movie, however, confuses teen lust for true love. Forget it and go read "Severe Mercy" or watch "A Night to Remember."

Summary: Flat characters but a cool boat...
Review: The movie's special effects weren't all that spectacular with exception to the last 30 minutes. The movie, in general, was rather dull and had an unbelievable and uncomplicated love story mixed with utterly two dimentional characters. If you wan't a good love story try An American in Paris, but if you want to see a boat explode fast forward to the end of this movie because the entire first 3/4 are not worth wasting your life over.

Summary: The most overblown movie ever ! I want to give it 0 stars!
Review: I don't recomend this movie to anyone at all. The two people in it fell in love in one minute and the whole movie was about their affairs and their ! The only reason I give it a single darn is because of the special effects. It was a big ball of nothing!

Summary: Great effects, marginal story
Review: I must have been among the last 1% of the population to see this movie, having only seen it for the first time a few months ago on DVD. The special effects are impressive and the movie does succeed at capturing the magnitude of the catastrophy. That said, I'm at a loss to explain how this movie became the mega hit that it was. Cameron does a fine enough job creating a tale that blends fact with fiction, except that I just didn't find the whole love story all that compelling, much less plausible. The movie's success is certainly a testament to the combined power all the 15-year-old girls in the world have.

Summary: Good, But Not Great
Review: I've seen a lot of movies in my time but none of them have been this overrated! I was expecting nothing short of a masterpiece when I first saw this movie, after all, it did win 11 Acadamy Awards. I can't seem to realize what was so good about Titanic, the acting? I don't think so! Leonardo Dicaprio was pathetic in this movie and I'm not going to say much about Kate Winslet because she was just as bad! James Cameron what were you thinking when you picked these two..... Well, I couldn't call them losers because that would be a little generous, so let's just call them bad actors! Although I did not mind the special affects in this movie, they were infact great I felt the realism was at an all time low when it came to telling the story of this great loss of real lives! Instead of focusing on the death of thousands of innocent people on the Titanic it focused on a lame love story which was very artificial at best! Also, gun fights while the ship is going down? Middle finger in 1912? How could a great director like James Cameron make these costly and obvious mistakes in a movie that was supposed to be "historicly accurate"? Even the way the ship went down may not have been correct. The iceberg looked incredibly fake for a 200 million dollar movie! I know I've spent most of this review critisizing this movie but there were some very touching and passionate scenes. That's where two thirds of the stars come in. The third is for my appreciation for James Cameron's excellent method of creating the ship. That really looked real, but next time make sure you make the people on the ship seem as real as the ship itself.

Summary: A Titanic waste of time and money
Review: To put it simply, the cinematography was great, but the acting, plot, and casting was pathetic. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

Summary: This movie portrays reality realistically
Review: I was very saddened when I started to rethink about such a historical tragedy. Not to diminish any of the respect to the victims, I wish to note that this movie was worth seeing, maybe a little too realistic but unfortunately this movie depicts how life can be at times;sad. But through it all we meet Jack and Rose who prove that love stands stronger than tragedy.

Summary: choose it!
Review: When i first saw this beautiful story, i am really moved, but this is not all. James Cameron created such a wonderful movie with excellent p- ictures and nice music. Maybe some people think that it is too simple in content and we can see nothing except a tragedy and a very common love story, but i think even so , we should still kn- that it remind us of courage which we really ne- ed when we are facing great dangers. Leonardo Di Caprio made an example in this movie. Kate Wins- let performs very well too, she showed a so viv- id role in front of us. i would say that Leonar- do and Kate are so suitable together in this mo- even though somebody thought not. so far, i hav- e seen this movie for six times, but i still fe- el that there is no limit of time to see it. wh- erever and whenever, it is a best choice for yo- u and me to see it! i wish that everyone would like it!

Summary: Grand
Review: Titanic is an easy Target for smartalecs and cynics everywhere. Check out any small and uncelebrated film on Amazon, and you might find it has a higher viewer rating average. This ofcourse has nothing to do with the film-making involved but a desire by customers to break conformity and stand apart in "look at me, I didn't fall for it" attitude. Grow up. Having just seen the film for the fifth time on cable(can't stop watching when it comes on), I truly believe this to be a great film. You can mock the dialogue and its lack of sophistication and irony, but you can never deny the beauty of the whole. The scene in which Rose walks out to Jack on the tip of the ship, he holds her, spreads her arms and sings "Come to me Josephine" has got to be the most romantic moment in modern movies. You can praise the special effects, the costumes, the ste disigns etc.. but that really misses the point. The fact that a cynic like me can fall this hard for a movie like this means that its truly something special. I'm not going to advice you to see it, for you surely have, just stop being immature and insecure, turn out the lights put this movie in and get swept away. P.S. I've seen this film numerous times despite the fact that I'm not a teenage girl.
