Summary: yup..I know there is no need for ANOTHER review
Review: *sigh*..I am sorry that I am adding my totally worthless review to the billions that are already here. Apart from the fact that I fell in love with Leo when I saw this movie (and my crush has just started again coz of 'Catch Me If You Can') I really do think this is a good movie. If it had another male lead who was totally ugly and charmless I would have still loved this movie. Even though I'm a soppy romantic and love the romance part of the movie (I know a thousand people will now hate me for admitting this) the historic part is exremly interesting. This movie has just given a whole generation facts about one of the most major tragdies of the 20th century. What people tend to forget with major Hollywood historic pictures, is yes, sometimes the history is changed around and sugercoated but at the basis, there is basic historical facts that will interest and educate many people. Titanic is one of these movies. When the movie first came out, I suddenly fell in love with the legend of Titanic and actually collected loads of facts. Even if I'm the only person in the entire world who did this, at least one person was affected by this movie! And isn't that what movie are really about? Making people happy and/or sad and being an enjoyable pastime. Because that's what Titanic is for me.

Summary: I Could Only Watch it Once
Review: What a tear jerker. I spent the whole second half of the film in tears. I own this film, but over the years have still not been able to get up the nerve to watch it again. Don't get me wrong, it was spectacular, but an emotional roller coaster. Not a ride I could take too often.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sentimental Tripe
Review: This film holds the honour of being the only film I've been to see where I let out an audible cheer in the cinema. This happened when the annoying Oirish "loveable rogue" was shot dead by the English seaman (well done that man). The guy had been annoying me all film with his antics (obviously aimed at the Irish-American audience) and was typical of the cliched characters that filled this movie.

The central romance story was entirely unconvincing and uninvolving. There was absolutely no chemistry between Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (Leo DiCaprio) and Jack looks so young that Rose takes on something of the Mrs Robinson about her.

The only time I felt empathy for any of the characters was at the end, where like Jack I had gone numb from the waste downwards due to sitting through this dirge and felt my will to live slipping away.

However unlike most of those on the Titanic I made it out alive. Only then I had to put up with Quebec's revenge on the world for not being given independence, Miss Celine Dion hanging around the charts like a bad smell for weeks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Need to get the DVD fit for Region 2 as well
Review: Your selling facility of this DVD is only fit for Region 1 , what about Region 2 .
Why you do not sell this DVD with a version applicable in Region 2 . All DVD units in the middle east are accommodated with R2 facility (not R1 which is restricted to the USA and Canada)

thanks

Summary: Unbearable lightness of being
Review: My apologies to Kundera, but this is, in a way, what he was talking. 'Titanic' is so light on substance and emotion that it is simply unbearable. Until I saw Mel Gibson's 'The Patriot', this was the worst film I had ever seen. The nauseating romance scenes, the blindingly cliche dialogue, the boring chase scenes, it's interminable length - these all add up to one of the worst movies of the century. Like a few of the other reviewers, I, too, had to summon up great strength not to burst out laughing and cheering when Leo slipped into the dark Atlantic. (I couldn't summon up enough and may have ruined it for a few people.) I imagine people like the film's love story and drama, but you get more drama from a table and chairs. 'Titanic' would have been just a laughably bad movie, except for it's promotion and production. Now it's just an unbearable waste of time.

Summary: Fabulous Film ruined by a Disastrous DVD!!!
Review: I absolutely LOVE this movie. However, the DVD is leaves much to be desired.
I recently purchased a widescreen projector and a progressive scan DVD player. Tonight I eagerly sat to watch TITANIC on the new system. But, ALAS!! To my dismay, I realized that the DVD is NOT, I repeat: is NOT, anamorphic. The picture is not enhanced to fit WIDESCREEN displays. It appears all squashed up and elongated. I had to immediately switch it off!

Folks, if you plan to watch this on a 4:3 TV screen or projector, by all means go for it. BUT, if you plan to watch on 16:9 display, simply FORGET about this DVD. Wait till they produce an anamorphic widescreen edition!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredibly moving motion picture experience
Review: I write this review principally for those who have vowed to never watch Titanic. No fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, I used to be one of those people; then, on the spur of the moment, I felt compelled to buy it and watch it. I am so thankful I responded to that sudden urge because this is truly the most moving motion picture I have ever seen. I immediately fell in love with every single thing about it, even the love story of Jack and Rose. I know this film cost a fortune and took forever to make, but every cent James Cameron spent was worth it. Titanic is incredible. There were really no Jack and Rose onboard the ship on the night it went down, but their story opens our hearts to the real story of that great tragedy, the fact that hundreds and hundreds of very real people from all walks of life suffered and died in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. When we think of some of the lives that were lost, we too often see them not as people but as myths-the unsinkable Molly Brown, Captain Smith, the scoundrel Ismay, John Jacob Astor, the Guggenheims, the musicians on deck, etc. In this epic, we see the humanity of everyone on board, from the first class passengers to the third class folks below deck to the hard-working men in the pits of the ship who bravely kept the lights on for so long in the face of certain death. This motion picture reinforces the humanity of every soul lost, for that is where the real tragedy lies.

Some people don't like the love story in the film, but I found it magical. DiCaprio, as much as I hate to admit it, is an incredibly talented actor, but it is really Kate Winslet who shines the brightest in my eyes. The complexity of Rose, engaged to wealth and status but yearning for something real that cannot be bought, calls out to the humanity in all of us, and we delight in her forbidden romance with the poor and socially inferior Jack Dawson, ready to take up arms ourselves against her rogue of a fiancé and his dastardly henchman. Some of the purity of this love was lost for me inside the car in the storage room, but no one can deny the power of Rose's love for Jack when she sacrifices her own survival to stay by his side. This is the kind of all-encompassing love we all seek but a rare few of us ever find.

Equally powerful is the extraordinary presentation of the Titanic's final hour. One feels as if he is actually there feeling the shudders as the iceberg rips through the great ship's hull, detecting the list of the decks as the front section begins to settle under water, watching with fascinating unbelief the water as it begins its climb from the lower to upper decks, getting a sense of the complete and utter panic that ensues once Titanic's fate becomes clear to all onboard, and watching numbly from afar as the smokestacks break off, the hull splits, and the fractured ship dives beneath the waves en route to its eternal resting place. The surreal aspect of it all, with the music playing in the background while brave men say a final goodbye to their wives and children in the lifeboats and less fortunate men, women, and children stop to embrace death in whatever way they can, is truly magical and tugs at the heart-strings of anyone professing to be human.

The incredible music accompanying this film is also intensely moving, whether it is reinforcing the passion of true love newly found or lamenting the tragedy of souls lost. If the love story and tragedy do not bring tears to your eyes, the extraordinary music will. I wonder how many men in particular sat through all of the closing credits in the theatre hoping their tears would dry before the lights came back on. The ending is to my eyes absolutely perfect and truly beautiful. This movie affects me greatly no matter how many times I have already watched it. I hope that some of those individuals vowing never to watch Titanic will reconsider their decision; I feel sure that many unbelievers would find themselves as captivated and completely in love with this motion picture as I am upon experiencing it.

Summary: Titanic is a masterpiece
Review: when i first saw Titanic back in the 6th grade (god it that was 5 years ago) i fell in love with it. I thought it was wonderful. I used to love around that time readin about shipwrecks especially the Titanic. I read all the facts books stories everything. This was the only film i saw on opening night. I knew the main charcaters were fictional but i was drawn in by the wonderful chemistry by Dicaprio Winslet. It rightfully deserves the 11 acadamey awards and its spot on afis 100 greatest thrills list. James Cameron deserves credit for his audacity in making this movie. Those shots of the Titanic are so beautiful how can you deny them. The sinking and the scene where the ship splits into two are masterworks. The soundtrack is unforgettable are wondefully placed. I remember seeing this on every channel for the longest time. There was always something about the Titanic on. Documentaries, Celine Dion's song, there was always something about the Titanic on. You could find it on video everywhere. This film is for the ages. I saw it a second time a few weeks later and i loved it even more. I can never forget this movie ever. It will be with me for as long as i live. Long live Titanic the most popular movie in motion picture history.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Frraapp!!!
Review: I thought it was going to be about the Titanic. Cameron spent $200 million to put people to sleep. What really annoyed me was when the band kept playing. I wonder if the chefs kept cooking. The incident was real, but the characters were not. People don't act that way in real life.
