Summary: I liked this Movie despite the hype.
Review: I am not a person to be taken in by romantic movies, in fact I am so one who likes action movies, the bloodier the better. however, I saw this movie a few months after it was released when you could actually get in on a Sunday..and I cried. I don't think I ever cried in a movie before. I saw it with my husband, and let me tell you..in the 8 years I was with him, I never saw him so affected my a movie. I didn't care for the romance..the sinking of the ship..the frozen bodies..the panic..it all tore at me. I actually had nighmares. That frozen baby and mother will haunt me. Any movies that does that..makes you think like that..well, I truly believe this movie deserved the oscar and yes, even the hype. Although tragic romance appeals to so many, what really got me was, THIS happened...those people died like that. Sure Jack and Rose were made up, fictional characters..but all the events that surrounded them..it really blew me away.

Summary: great over all
Review: I thought this movie was great and one of the best that I have seen. I'm a guy and dont care too much for Leo but I thought he did a great job as part of this movie. It was a piece of history, the TITANIC. It showed the love that these two human beings had, and the ending is so breath taken that you will be on the edge of your seat. Now I never cried when he died but I was very touched. I just had to see the movie once I found out the Reba McEntire turned down a part in the script when she couldnt post pon her tour dates. I think she would have made this movie a 5 star plus, when it already is a five star.

Summary: well, it had its good points and bad points
Review: Thankyou to whoever thought of bringing the beauty, mystery and tragedy of that classic ship to life in modern film and giving Leonardo lusting kids the chance to see a little bit of history while having supreme fun too! But, there were so many tales to have been told about that eerie sunken treasure, some including love, most death, but all more interesting than that 13 year old love story saga. Every girls dream... meet the young, humble, spirited Leo on a dream boat and make steamy love to him in the back of a vintage car, all very mischievious and exciting. But was the sex sceen completely necessary? No young, extravagantly wealthy beauty would have the least bit of dignity or sense of self pride after falling for a 3rd class BOY and then giving herself to him behind a pile of rubbash after only knowing him for what seemed to be not more than 4 days. Yes, it was supposed to portray her desire to rebel from all she'd known and from her mother...but it was so unrealistic. Those are meerly fanatisies a girl of that prestige and upbringing in those times would have had and would never be turned into actions. They could have done so much with that lacking script...maybe a story of a young mother who looses her whole family including her new twins, anything, anything at all aside from that mucous hawking, naked sketching, waste of very valuable piece of jewelry movie! The costumes and scenery were great, but the story line definitely had something to say for it.

Summary: Overated
Review: One word comes to mind pitiful. I could not get through the movie at all. It was also to predictable. You knew De Caprio was going to die. That scene was also tasteless. The girl, way to naive. The lamps that the crew was carrying while searching for survivors did not even exist in 1912. If you asked me, save yourself do not watch.

Summary: James Cameron: mejor dierctor de la década
Review: Me parece que para hacer una película tan importante e influyente como "Titanic" se necesita una trayectoria, dedicación, valor e inteligencia que creo que muy pocos tienen. Es una película que te choca mucho y la verdad es que se merecia en todos los aspectos los premios que recibio. Pero...¿Que quizo hacer James Cameron, una historia de amor basada en los hechos del Titanic o mostrar los hechos del Titanic y para emocionar al público completarla con una historia de amor?

Summary: ONE OF THE WORST FILMS EVER MADE
Review: Since when does superb special effects merit an Oscar. Hollywood is so stereotyped and predictable that it's impossible to enjoy movies these days. The titanic is nothing special (the movie I mean) and was only such a big box office draw because little girls get wet to Leo. End of story.

Summary: Rebirth of the Titanic: The Ship of Dreams
Review: I was amazed that I liked Titanic as much as I did. Being a Titanic buff long before James Cameron even had the idea of making the movie, I had very low expectations of the movie when I went to see it for the first time. I also was extremly disappointed that Cameron was planning on using fictional characters (i.e. Jack and Rose) in a non fictional setting, fearing that it would take away from the actual accounts of the sinking. My fears were dashed away with the first appearance of the computer generated and recreated Titanic. Cameron went to great lengths to have the Titanic appear as real as possible to the audience and his effort did not go unnoticed. When the scene of Titanic's magnificent prow cutting majestically as it glides across the ocean waves, one feels that the Titanic is reborn, that she is waiting somewhere to once again ferry passengers across the Atlantic. The scene of one of the powerful steam engines as work in the Titanic sent chills down my spine. And the attention to detail in Cameron's neverending effort to replicate the Titanic above as well below water was tremendous. The storyline admittedly was a bit on the weak side, almost too plauged by the ideal romanticism of poor boy meets rich girl, rich girl falls in love with poor boy, disaster ends any chances for both of them. What made the storyline a bit more plausible, was the tremendous acting of both Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Winslet breathes life into Rose DeWitt Bukater, making us believe that she is the tortured and troublesome soul that she is. DiCaprio is comfortable as the easygoing, "tumbleweed in the wind" Jack Dawson. The only flaw in DiCaprio's acting is that often at times, I felt that Jack was more of a time traveler on board the Titanic, rather than an exisiting character. Billy Zane, as Rose's self-centered, pompous fiancee, did an excellent job in protraying his character , as did Frances Fisher, as Rose's unrealisitc mother. Kathy Bates as Margaret, "Molly" Brown provided some comic relief and both Jonathan Hyde-Pierce and Victor Garber as J. Bruce Isamy and Thomas Andrews, respectively, showed perfect reinditions of these real life people who we have often read about and have never met. The ordeal of the Titanic sinking are haunting. The images of the third class people being trapped by overzealous crew members, the heoric effort of Titanic's band playing on, the struggle to convince people that the boat is actually sinking, and the painful process of loading and lowering the lifeboats are images that are brought to life for those who weren't there when the sinking actually took place. The unforgettable scene of dead, frozen people in the ocean after the mighty ship has gone down is one that stays with you, well after the movie is over. Cameron does well at the end of the movie to insure that the audience will better understand the motivations of Bill Paxton's modern day pirate character and that of "Old Rose" played very well by Gloria Stuart. I also enjoyed how Cameron leaves one guessing at the end of the movie-does Rose pass away in her sleep and meets Jack in heaven or is she just dreaming? I think that overall what Titanic offers for us through Rose and Jack is a way to time travel back through time to see what life on the Titanic was actually like, being able to catch a glimpse into the lives of people long ago lost. James Cameron truly recreates this lost ship, the "Ship of Dreams."

Summary: Muy buenos efectos y guión.
Review: Es una película estupenda. Desde los efectos cinematográficos, hasta la música, el clima, y el desempeño de los actores hace que se trate de una película muy pero muy especial. A mí me gustó mucho y la ví 3 veces.

Summary: James Cameron's genius wasted.
Review: Most of the time I want to see a movie again and agian, even if I didn't like sometimes, however I never want to sit through the drivel known as Titanic again. First of all DiCraprio can't act at all. Secondly why should we care about the miserable lives of two people on the Titanic when thousands, upon thousands died. The title Titanic, to me, sounds like a film about a great ship, that fell to a terrible demise. Not some love story between two little insignificant people that no one cared about in the first place. The only good part was when DiCraprio froze like a popsicle. Unless your a girl who is obsessed with DiCraprio don't watch this travesty of Cameron's talent.
