Summary: Titanic: The Movie That Sunk
Review: This movie is the worst rendition of the sinking of the Titanic. The story was taken from all of the other Titanic movies and was hazerdly thrown together. It was over acted, and had several imposable sceens including the rescue of the hero by the girl(she closed her eyes and used the force)and the sceen where he puts her over the other side of the safty rail...(self explanitory) In short the worst Camren movie yet! The speacial efects were cool.

Summary: Greatest Ever
Review: Simply the greatest movie I've ever seen and, strangely, the most reluctant I've ever been before sitting down and watching a movie. I mean, 3 hours? Like my mother now, who refuses to watch the entire movie, I wanted to skip right to the boat going under. How wrong can you be? The first half of this movie is supurb. The soundtrack to the film is the greatest ever written, bringing you in even further. The effects are fantastic, so fantastic that you forget they're there (unlike most films where the effects are the star). The acting may have been shallow but not so much that you notice; you're too busy keeping up with the story and its many turns. Many scenes in this movie are . . . well, unforgettable. The music helps to capture this fully. Jack and Rose on the bow, having their first kiss. Jack's eyes peeking out from behind the canvas as he draws Rose's picture. Rose's first appearance in the movie, revealed from beneath her extravagent clothing. Perfect! James Cameron kept it simple and made you want to follow Jack and Rose all over this glorious boat.

Summary: Kate Winslet Rules!
Review: Okay, at this point some 900 people have already reviewed this film on Amazon, but I just can't resist trying to tip the scale, just a little. Easily the best film OF ALL TIME, Titanic is the ONLY film ever to deserve the kind of hype that it received. I know a lot of people diss the romance as "corny", but if you can't enjoy the romance in Titanic, then I feel sorry for you; you are way too cynical. The special effects are cool, but it's Kate Winslet that makes this film phenomenal. I can't BELIEVE she didn't win an oscar! No film will ever match the appeal, the unique "flavour" of this movie. Remeber; just because it's overhyped doesn't mean it isn't excellent.

Summary: blah...
Review: I did not like this movie - nothing about it appealed to me. The script was rotten, the acting wooden (especially Kate Winslet), and the storyline so overly dramatic that i spent more than half of the movie rolling my eyes. Billy Zane's character was so extremely one dimensional that he might have stepped directly from the pages of a fairy tale (enter the wicked witch of the west, stage right).The special effects were impressive, but like many other movies, it was simply not enough to keep the weak plot afloat (so to speak). I won't say it is the worst movie ever made, but i can think of much better things to do with 3 hours than watch Leo in a wet shirt. The worst thing about this movie is that it is so unstimulating. When there are so many thought provoking movies out there, it grates a bit that this one would get the oscar nod.

Summary: CORNBALL PERFECTION
Review: TITANIC has become such a gigantic tidal wave of pop culture it is difficult to remember your original swell of emotion upon first viewing -- but the fact remains that, despite idiotic dialogue and some crazily inappropriate acting, this movie is one that lives up to its hype. It gets to you, in the same exact way that GONE WITH THE WIND does -- it places you squarely in a place and time (on that ship), and you feel the immediacy and urgency of a disaster in the making -- you are sailing, afloat again. Yes, the love story is cornball, but perfect cornball, and it allows us to embark the ship with ease -- both first-class and steerage. Yet the doom is never far away -- the ghostly cross-fades and present-day framing story keep you both in suspense and already melancholy. I could not help myself, and cried openly at the celestial finale, which sweeps you up in a romantic delirium. Kate Winslet, James Horner (score) and Cameron's ultimate vision of the sinking all deserve special mention, but it is the cumulative effect of watching this movie that is indefinably powerful, and what makes watching and experiencing good movies such a special joy.

Summary: Chic Flick Sinks
Review: I was told to see this by a girlfriend. It lost my interest after the Poker game(Thats early). I found Kate W. a totally unattractive woman, and just kept wondering if I was supposed to care about this suicidal loser (I was, we all are). It goes on and on and on. The ending REALLY REALLY blew chunks. I can't imagine anyone ever throwing a diamond into a pond let alone what the old prune does in this chick flick. Why 2 stars, you may ask? Well, when its sinking, its great special effects. People are spinning all over the place. This movie has 7 minutes of entertainment value.

Summary: Here's Proof that Hype Sells
Review: Titanic is easily the most overrated movie ever made. A previous customer review said it best: "the biggest insult to color movies since Heaven's Gate". Were it not for the special effects, which I begrudgingly admit are quite good, this movie would be awful. The acting is flat, the plot is downright silly, and the soundtrack is painful to hear ("My Heart Will Go On", ranks right up there with "Wind Beneath My Wings" as the worst movie song of the century). Teenage girls went for this movie in droves, which unfortunately caused the MPAAS to get all caught up in the hype and award this turkey a most undeserved Oscar for best motion picture, passing up several more worthy competitors. This movie is truly a triumph of form over substance.

Summary: Overplayed, overhyped, and overdiscussed. . .but. . .
Review: This is one of the few movies that was so hyped up and so run into the ground that actually lived up to the hype--even though it's only natural to be sick of hearing about it. This was definitely a classic. Set against one of the most terrible and most documented disasters in recent history (which was probably the biggest thing it had going for it), this film took the viewer on an emotional cruise of their own. The setting alone put so much power into this movie that is was ahead of the game before the title appeared on screen. Wonderfully scored, wonderfully acted--with the best performance, by the way, coming from Zane and not either of the Oscar nomianted actresses--this film has as much power as the title vessel did in its day as compared to the rest of the fleet. The 197 minutes float by as the viewer becomes acquainted and attached to each of the characters. I was a little disappointed that with such an incredible movie, the DVD that it produced was so uncreatively simple. Yes, it's long, and I'm sure that takes up alot of disc space, but after the time and care and detail that went into the picture? Seems like a cop-out. No special features really except the overplayed trailer that revealed too many crucial plot moments anyway. Don't get me wrong, having just this movie alone in your personal library is a must, but that's all you'll be getting--nothing more. But as far as the film goes, there aren't many films that are more powerful. One thing to note, though. The most important character in this film--if this even needs to be stated--is the ship. This love story, this drama, these characters--none of it is even close to as memorable without the HMS Titanic herself. But then, like I said, since that's the title, that really goes without saying now, doesn't it?

Summary: Flat as a pancake
Review: I was almost 16 when I first watched this film, and I understand the story very well, and I still found it to be painfully long. The scenes of fe-male toplessness crossed the line into sickening. That this film broke the billion-dollar record at the box office is a sign of the Apocalypse. This film is the biggest visual disgrace to color films since Heaven's Gate.

Summary: Don't see this movie for the acting, see it for the effects
Review: I really liked Titanic the first time that I saw it in the theatre, when it was hardly such a commercial product and before everyone saw it just for Leonardo DiCapprio. The acting was okay, as the Oscars proved, but what I liked the most were the special effects. It was such a beautiful movie; I am glad it won an Oscar because it was the only movie I saw that I actually exclaimed "wow" at the end.
