Summary: Most Overrated movie I ever seen!
Review: Cameron definitely did this for the money. Probably his worst movie. Thin plot. Big effects (mostly near the end) When it first came out, I went and saw it at the theatre cause I knew Cameron was doing it. Boy I never felt so disapointed by a movie! (besides Highlander 2 being #1 on my list for disapointments) I compare this movie to a mondern day "Gone with the wind"! **gag**

Summary: Special effects made this movie but not a classic
Review: Film students will watch this over and over, frame by frame, for its editing and special effects mastery, but for the average movie goer, this is a chick flick. Contrary to many reviews, Celine is one of my favorite singers and the song at the end I enjoyed even though it was over played. But WHY was it at the END. It should have been IN the movie. Major flaw. So many other flaws (sunset in the East?) made the film laughable in places. But the digital arts were incredible.

Summary: THE TITANIC OF ALL FILMS!!!
Review: At first, this movie did not seem like anything I would be interested in at all. Based on people's recommendations, I went to see it. This film did a remarkable job of replicating a freightening experience. James Cameron did a phenominal job in paying close attention to detail and making the experience as authentic as possible. The special effects were tremendous along with the camera tricks. Every detail on the boat, the costumes, clothing, and the settings put you back into an old time frame. TITANIC contains all the elements of an excellent film. Fine acting, attractive personel, costumes, superb special effects, heart gripping romance, sadness, triumph, good editing, villian, and a very well composed soundtrack. It will be a very long time before a film of this caliber will be dethroned. From an objective standpoint, Titanic was worhy of all it's praise and lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I can only slightly critisize the love between the main characters. It is the love we all dream about that vastly differs from reality. Titanic made you feel that bond like as if it were your own. Excellent!!

Summary: Big on special effects/thin on plot
Review: James Cameron has undeniably recreated the spectacular size and luxury of the Titanic, and treated its disastrous voyage with detail and suspense (after all, everyone knows that the vessel sank). But the fateful hours between the ship's launch from Southampton and its collision with an iceberg are less than absorbing, and in many spots downright unbelievable. The central premise - that Kate Winslet's upper-class scion and Leonardo DiCaprio's down-at-the-heels artist would strike up a passionate romance - is simply stretching the social reality of 1912. However trapped the character of Rose might have felt at the prospect of marrying the swinish Cal Hockney, she wouldn't have seriously considered a life outside the cosseted world of wealthy Philadelphia society, even for a rakish figure like Jack Dawson. One imagines that the stratified classes of America and Europe were perfectly mirrored onboard Titanic. Yet the director depicts some very black and white views of both worlds. In first class, the furnishings are top notch, everyone has room to roam, but people are rather stiff, cold, and rarely exhibit any humanity (except Kathy Bates' Molly Brown character - but she's new money, and still retains her earthiness). By contrast, those in steerage class are poor but lively, rambunctious and warm to everyone. This is Cameron's application of 1990s social sensitivity to 1912 class consciousness. Nowhere is the revisionism more rampant than in Rose's character: as her disenchantment with Cal grows, she takes on more "common" habits like spitting overboard (in first class!), dancing a peasant jig with the masses in steerage and quaffing a large ale, and generally forgetting her social training while frolicking with Jack Dawson. The cheapest shot is when she gives the middle finger salute to Cal's security man (played by veteran bad guy David Warner). Sorry, but in those days an upper-crust girl wouldn't have used such an expression. There are some outright fabrications - details, certainly - but they belie Cameron's boast of thorough research. When Rose and her mother settle into their staterooms, we see Rose handling some very famous paintings by Picasso, Monet and Degas. These are meant to show the family's sophistication. Later, as the icy water rushes into the ship's compartments, we see the paintings floating by into oblivion. Cameron must have either forgotten or ignored the fact that such major works are in museums today, and in particular overlooked the fact that Picasso's "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon", which Rose holds in her outstretched hands, is a very large canvas. Cal smirks that Picasso will never amount to anything, but by then Picasso was well known throughout Europe. Later, in the dining room, Rose mentions Sigmund Freud in a brazen reference to the shipbuilder's obsession with the ship's size. The shipbuilder, flustered, asks, "Who's this Freud? Is he a passenger?" It's preposterous that such an educated man would not have heard of Freud. It's these details that make the film unbelievable. Movie-making is about the gestures, tone, look and feel of people and their period. We see glimpses of other passengers aboard Titanic, but their lives are never explored in any deatil except as supports for the central love story. An ensemble story, with several plotlines, would have enhanced the movie greatly. When Jack goes under the waves at the end of the film, I don't feel any great loss. There were hundreds of stories from that doomed ship, but Cameron chose to play to today's easily-manipulated movie-goers, particularly the teenage girls. Another director would have made a superior film.

Summary: Cammeron's worst film
Review: I thought that film was entirely over-rated. It was by far one of or the worst film Cammeron's ever made. If you want to sea a good film based at sea by James Cammeron I reccomend his excellent sci-fi thriller: " The Abyss "

Summary: Most over-rated movie ever made
Review: I can't understand why so many people liked this movie. It was so under-welming from start to finish.It had a boring love story between two people that you can never relate with. The acting was as wooden as an old oak tree and by the time the ship sinks, you feel a great relief that this movie is almost over. This movie was so awful that I never want to see another film made by James Cameron ever again, or a movie with music scored by James Horner ever again either.
