Titanic

Pros: Best Movie Since Gone With the Wind
Cons: In a Twilight Zone for 3 hours!

I thought there would never be another movie made that rated as high as "Gone With the Wind" or "Wizard of Oz". I found, to my pleasure, that I was wrong.

I have now watched the movie Titanic more than I have watched...

Pros: You really do believe the ship is sinking.
Cons: You can guess how it goes along.

The movie "Titanic" almost is beyond criticism by now. It has made a zillion dollars. A large percentage of the population has seen it. The story has become part of our popular culture, and Leonardo DiCaprio has become a full-fledged teen...

Pros: Well It's probably one of the biggest hits of all time
Cons: It's doesn't deserve the amount of credit it has

This movie might well be the most over-rated film of all time. It had a few good
points -- foremost among which was the cinematography -- but these were
overshadowed by the...

Pros: Fairly good historical details
Cons: Too long, too much romance

Bring a pillow and a blanket because you are in for all night movie. I was amazed at how long it took this relatively simple story to take place. Don't misunderstand me, the movie was fairly good. However, it was entirely too long. The movie could...

Pros: Relatively well made.
Cons: Horrorific in gratuitous way about a real life event

How clever. Make the boyfriend sit through a deliberately sappy movie, THEN make the girlfriend sit through a slightly briefer spell of special effects and violent imagery. Tidy it up at the end. Blockbuster movie.

Very well made. Nice...

Pros: amazing plot, great effects
Cons: long, drawn out a bit

Considered one of the best movies of all time in some critic's eyes as well as mine, James Cameron's Titanic is the winner of 14 Academy Award Nominations: including Best Actress (Kate Winslet) and Best Supporting Actress (Stuart). It also won 11...

Pros: Brings an Incredible True Story to Life
Cons: Premarital Sex

This film version of the true story of the R.M.S. Titanic brings a tragedy to life through vivid computer graphics and fine acting. Costumes and sets are exquisitely designed as well. You feel as if you are part of what went on that awful...

Pros: Costumes, the effort on special effects
Cons: everything that isn't costumes...too many special effects

Titanic. It definitely is one of the most talked about films of the decade. It was nominated, and won, several Oscars. Box office wise, it is the biggest film of all time(of course according to the AFI and most actual film buffs, "Citizen Kane"...

Pros: good visuals, stellar supporting cast, nice insights,
Cons: some hokey dialogue, slow moving at times, leads aren't the greatest

This movie won the best picture Oscar for 1997. Was it the best movie of the year that year? Well...It was a good movie certainly with some fine special effects, some nice characterizations and a good score. But best picture? No. It should've gone to...

Pros: Great story, acting, direction, artistic photography
Cons: None

James Cameron's inspired TITANIC will take its place among the great films of American cinema.In the momentous saga of the doomed ocean liner, Cameron has found a powerful metaphor for an allegorical portrait of the conflicting dynamics of 20th century...

Pros: The ship sinks in the most astonishing manner. It really DOES just about redeem the film's various other flaws.
Cons: Occasionally over-obvious CGI effects. Bad scripting. Billy Zane. General unoriginality. The sheer obscenity of spending $300 milion on a single film.

[NOTE: originally written February 1998]

If nothing else, we will always remember "Titanic" for soundly thrashing "Cleopatra’s" 34-year record for technically being the most expensive film ever made. When that film was...

Pros: The love they shared
Cons: That he had to die

The movie Titanic gave me hope that their is a love out there for each one of us that is eternal. It is a movie that affected me more that most. When a movie makes me think of nothing else but that romantic couple and that enduring life for days on end,...

Pros: Special effects, Kathy Bates
Cons: Leonardo DiCaprio, all the rest

There were three things wrong with this movie... LEONARDO, LEONARDO, LEONARDO! This kid just can't act. It made sitting trough all three hours plus of this film difficult to say the least.
I saw this movie because it was the thing to do....

Pros: Kathy Bates as Molly Brown
Cons: The length and the love story

The great tradgedy of the sinking of the Titanic was turned into a love story, in this 3 and a half hour movie. After winning a ticket on the great Titanic, Jack (Dicaprio) boards the vessal on his way to America. On board he meets the holier than...

Pros: terrific plot and script
Cons: unnecessary nudity

This is a really, really good movie. It's very romantic, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it unless I watch a zillion times. It has a great plot and I'm sure that the script is great, also. What I think should get cut, though, is the nudity,...
