Summary: YOU'LL LOVE IT...ONLY IF YOU'RE A 12 YR OLD FEMALE SISSY!
Review: THIS MOVIE JUST DOESN'T CUT IT. IT'S A FLOP! THE ONLY REASON IT DESERVES ANY RAVE REVIEWS IS FOR THE VISUAL EFFECTS, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. BUT HEY, IF YOU WANT TO SEE ANOTHER MOVIE WITH EXCELLENT VISUAL EFFECTS THEN JUST GO SEE ARMAGEDDON OR GODZILLA! THOSE ARE FAR MUCH BETTER FILMS THAN THIS PARODY OF A MOVIE.

THE ROMANCE DOESN'T MOVE YOU.

THE ACTORS DON'T MOVE YOU.

THE STORYLINE DOES NOT MOVE YOU.

THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FEEL ANY SORT OF EMOTION FOR THIS THING IS IF YOU ARE A LEONARDO-CRAZED 12 YR OLD PRISSY GIRL. NO MORON WITH ATLEAST HALF A BRAIN WILL WASTE 5 MINUTES OF HIS/HER TIME WATCHING THIS GARBAGE.

AND FOR THE VERY FEW OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T YET SEEN TITANIC...

I MUST CONGRATULATE YOU. YOU ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT BEINGS IN THE PLANET.

AS A FINAL CONCLUSION...

DON'T GO SEE IT. PLEAASSSSSEEEEE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fine Fine Movie
Review: Not too many movies that have recently come out deserve 5 stars.

Like many people, I have seen the theatrical trailers and read about the disaster and had my opinions of how good (or bad) this movie would be before I actually saw it.

Leonardo gives a very spirited performance as Jack. He was in my opinion, the "soul" of the movie. He made it fun, exciting, and uplifting.

Kate Winslet was also very good. I thought her best performances were in the beginning of the movie when she was fighting against herself, but she was very good in the rest as well.

What really surprised me about this movie was the performance of the supporting cast. They were very polished. Rose's Mom, the portly looking woman, Rose's fiancee and sidekick (Killjoy?), all played their roles awesome. They didn't just play roles to fill up dialog and time, when they spoke, or did something, it was for a purpose.

The only qualms I have with this movie is that there was too much infatuation with technology. There was too much reliance on computer generated images which lead to some artifial looking scenes. In my opinion, there's no excuse for even one scene to look artificial. Great movies were made before computers, it's not that hard to make a great scene without computers.

Scenes that I found incredulous:

In the beginning of the movie after Titanic had just taken off Jack and friends are roaming around the top deck exploring the ship. There are a few people walking along the top deck with them. Now, I've been on one cruise ship in my life. There were several hundred people on board. The Titanic in it's day was the most hyped, and the biggest ship in existence, and if I may add: was on it's maiden voyage. Some of the most richest and most powerful people in society were on her. Don't you think the top deck would be crowded with people? After all, there were 2,200+ people on board. You could practically count the number of people on deck on your hands. I thought this was a major oversight. There should have been an image of deck that was almost totally filled with people to give the true impression of the vast number of people who were sailing. I'd be willing to wager that in real life, it probably was filled up with people.

Please bear in mind that I'm being nitpicky. The scene(s) that I am complaining about is only depicted 2 or 3 times, but it was enough to stand out in my mind.

Lastly, I thought, as a DVD, this movie was a disappointment. Most DVD's nowadays (especially recent ones) contain a ton of additional material such as actor bios, production notes, "The Making Of..." and even little trivia games. The only additional material they added was the Theatrical Trailer which I never watch. But the movie itself is definitely worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Titanic
Review: Wonderful, exciting love story. Well done in every way

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What's With Everybody?
Review: Come on people! What's with all this "Titanic" backlash? This is a great movie that will stand the test of time. It is true the movie is not the best ever but it is a great movie. I highly reccomend this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The movie on the screen, VHS and DVD is great.
Review: Why are "reviews" like Kathman's published? He hasn't seen the movie and is only voicing his personal opinions about the star. See the movie and then review it and the medium it is delivered on. If he wants to publish his opinions let him go to a SIG (special interest group) or a chat room.

I have seen TITANIC on the big screen, on VHS and on DVD and it is great. Its a grand spectacle and transports one into a different dimension, which is what movie-making and movie-watching are all about. I am not a DiCaprio or Winslet fan (I don't intend to see BEACH or HOLY SMOKE because they've gotten bad reviews from critics who have SEEN them.) Don't try to psychoanalyze people who like this movie. Do I like TITANIC because I wasn't suckled right as an infant. Perhaps! But that's no business of yours.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Source of All Evil In the Universe?
Review: Trite, boring, formulaic, eye candy with neither soul nor wit. I GET ANGRY when I think about this piece of trash. Angry that so much money was wasted on this infantile pabulum. Angry that it was so well received at the box office. Angry that it garnered all those undeserved Oscars which should have gone to better films. And above all, angry at its bad example; that the greatness of a movie should not be measured by its budget. Did James Cameron sell his soul for his success? It would explain both the film's artlessness and its good fortune.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Haven't Seen It, Probably Never Will
Review: There are two reasons I refuse to watch this movie. First: it got far too much hype. It's been my experience that recent movies of such immense popularity usually fall into the "Incredibly Overrated" category (Forest Gump, Braveheart, etc.). I attribute this phenomenon to the ridiculously low standards of the average schmuck. The second reason I won't watch this film: Mr. Leonardo Di Caprio. It wouldn't bother me that chicks really dig this guy if he was really worth the fuss. A young Paul Newman or even Tom Cruise are a lot more handsome than this lightweight pretty boy. I can only hope that most of us will someday wake up and realize what an atrocious actor this punk is. I liked him a lot better when he was on Growing Pains; At least then I could take pleasure in the fact that Di Caprio was constantly upstaged by another atrocious actor, Kirk Cameron.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't believe the hype
Review: Despite what people say, this is not a classic film. For that, watch films that are actually good. As for historically and physically accurate, well let's just say that Diseny did better on POCAHONTAS in those departments. There are numerous inaccuracies and many lines from characters that make no sense. For instance; "We need to stay on the ship as long as possible"...WHY? "Just hold your breath and kick towards the surface"...that just wouldn't happen. There are good aspects to the film, though, and I'm not talking about Kate Winslet nude. The special effect are really good, as is Billy Zane as the villainous husband-to-be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely amazing!
Review: There are no other words that describe this movie. It doesn't even matter how old I am, because 13 or 50, anyone can enjoy this movie! Perfect sound, AND picture quality. Take my advice and add this one to the cart, you wont regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Astounding!
Review: It has the excitement of a thriller and the romance everyone loves in movie. I give it 5 stars!
