Overhyped, overwrought, didn't deserve the sucsess?


Even though Iam male, I still love the movie and it works on a fewso many levels.

The effects/stunts/cgi/everything! Cameron hit pretty much every mark for me here. Even the music by Hans Zimmer is nice.

As for the acting? Billy Zane was great hamming it up as the no good boyfriend, whilst Kathy Bates small role was cool aswell. Winslet was good enough, but I think Leonardo is the better actor in this film, but both are very capable actors and no one is bad in it.

One of my all time fav movies. The scope of the movie still amazes me. I can understand the hate for this film, but I still love it. Massive props to James Cameron, as blockbusters are often great action, little substance, but this had enough of both, even if the love storyline is very simplistic. I still think it works well enough, and the pacing is pretty much perfect.

the boat sank.

biggest twist ever

Celine Dion


That movie is some serious chess

I love it. It's an all-time favorite. Sure, it's corny. Sure it's predictable. But it's freaking incredible. And I even like the song

I dont mind the song. The actual instrumental is used throughout the movie, and its a nice melody. Add some lyrics, and you cant got far wrong.

It takes a seriously ambitious director to get make all that shit work. No wonder it took years to make, and cost a bomb. Payed off though.

Its cheesy but I love some romantic films, and this mixes tragic romance with a massive dose of action. Also, the last half is surprising as some of it is almost done in real time. About 20 minutes of it if I can remember? Quite odd for a film sequence, particually an action sequence.

Haven't seen it, so....

The '97 version with Leonardo and Kate? Dire and overly dramatized. Putrid film.

Back then I hated DiCrappio, recently he's played is better movies, better roles.....

I loathe this film, I loathe James Cameron and this film is the reason why I can't stand Billy Zane and Kate Winslut.....I hated Celone Dion already before this film!

I really enjoyed it.....but.....



As if anyone would leave Billy Zane for Leonard De-Cuprinol!????!!!!


As if!

Me neither. I refuse to commit that much time.

I was only 7 or 8. Maybe 6.

I hate movies about suffering. Hard to watch, even with Leo and Kate. Left with a headache.

The second half is amazing but given that I have to endure the
unbearably cheesy love story first, i usually pass when it´s on tv.

For that...I forgive your opinion of Planet Earth.

Titanic...

I'm only sorry they were hers.....

theodore said:

I love the movie and the song

I would! Have you seen him lately? Blech!!! I think Leo is hot.

Extraordinarily cheesy, but impressive for its grandeur and the great craft that went into it. If I never see it again, though, I'll be OK.

YEAH! BUT THE NECKLACE!!!!!


Oh, he loved her in his own funny little primitve old fashion 'men are from mars' kind of way!!!!


Oh shallow me thinking looks over personality!!!! trust me, you'd never believe it if you ever saw my ex'es!!!!!

Never has the term " a bulldog chewing a wasp!" ever had so much relevance!

I thought it was funny how she promised Jack she'd "never let go" ...but then let go.

I didn't like it AT ALL.
It was SO cheesy.

And I used to hate, Leo. But he's been doing REALLY good lately.

i only saw it once, in a theater in NYC, and a crackhead was providing an ongoing commentary through the whole thing. i had a great time, but i don't think i can watch 'titanic' again without a crackhead talking through it.

i've tried to watch this movie three times. haven't made it through yet
