Titanic

It is flawlessly crafted, intelligently constructed, strongly acted and spellbinding. more

You don't just watch Titanic, you experience it. more

A film that sweeps us away into a world of spectacle, beauty and excitement, a realm of fantasy unimaginable without the movies. more

It leaves the port of enterprise and arrives on the far shore of art. more

His (Cameron) movie may not be perfect, but visually and viscerally, it pretty well is. more

The title represents size and power, speed and hubris -- the very things the ship has come to stand for and the things that Cameron has restored to the cinema with grand, generous style. more

Titanic floods you with elemental passion in a way that invites comparison with the original movie spectacles of D.W. Griffith. more

It's quite possible that Titanic is one of the greatest romantic epics ever filmed. more

A huge, thrilling three-and-a-quarter-hour experience that unerringly lures viewers into the beauty and heartbreak of its lost world. more

With the ship, with its totality of people, Cameron is wizardly, creating an entire society threading through the various strata of a world that has been set afloat from the rest of the world.

Definitely the plus points of the movie would be the technical artistry and the film-making skills of Cameron. The way the ship was re-created down to its last details gives a historical grandeur to the movie, presenting the audience a connectivity to the past . And the final execution of the epic disaster deserves a standing applause. But the cardboard characters and the cheesy romantic angle of the story fails to maintain even minimal credibility. One thing that annoys me the most about this film is the much over-praised performance of the lead couple and the so called wonderful... more

Titanic is classic James Cameron: excessive, overexplosive, dastardly, black n' white, sexy, dramatic, technically brilliant, and loooong. And like all James Cameron movies, they really shouldn't work at all (come on, a 3 hour plus movie about a boat sinking?), but they somehow manage to with panache. I give him massive props. more

Well, I finally 'gave in' and saw "Titanic". I really have mixed reviews of this film and it didn't help that everyone and their dog has seen this movie as well as it making so much money. No movie could live up to the hype it got and it did not, however that is not saying the movie was not good either. I'll start by saying I thought the whole first hour of the film felt to me like it was a 'made for TV' movie. The acting wasn't great and the overuse of CGI wasn't great either, but it did have an interesting premise. As the movie went along, I did get invested in the characters and the... more

The favorite film of my youth. Titanic broke my heart and keeps a piece still. 11 Academy Awards, Highest Grossing film ever. 'My Heart Will Go On' haunting soundtrack. Winner of my Greatest Disaster Films. Winner of mr Greatest Epics. Winner of my Best Film from the 1990's. Winner of my Greatest Romantic Period Film. more

While I don't particularly care for this movie on a personal level, it isn't terrible. The actors made the movie enjoyable, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were amazing. What I never understood was the length of the film. It could have easily taken place in a two hour time frame, but James Cameron turned it into an incredibly long, dragging story. While it is the most expensive chick flick ever made, it doesn't make it the best by a long shot. more

Having garnered 11 Academy Awards in 1998, a reported production budget of over US$200 million (thus making news headlines in 1997) and earning over US$1 billion in box-office receipts worldwide (quite a percentage of those are due to repeated theatrical viewings), Titanic (1997) has finally been given the enhanced DVD edition many have been looking for. Having "suffered" a mediocre vanilla (single) DVD release in 1999, the title has finally been given better treatment (better film-to-video transfer and extensive bonus materials) by Paramount Home Entertainment for Region 1 or regions... more
