Almost a classic

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2003)

**Spoilers Ahead Titanic is without a doubt the best movie of 1997 and deservingly won its oscars. But that is all it is and when you compare it to other Best Picture winners then it is nothing special and is for example inferior to Braveheart or Platoon. The only bad parts of Titanic are the flying scene and the Jack dying scene. Those scenes just make you embarassed in pain. Excluding those scenes the film is for the most part great. For example the opening or closing scenes are pure cinema perfection with emotional musical score that send emotions through your whole body. In fact even though there were a couple better movies since Titanic none had better single moments than a couple moments of absolute perfection in Titanic. However this is not a perfect movie and is in fact the most flawed James Cameron movie. How could Cameron go so over the top with the love story and keep a cheesy "flying" scene. If you want to watch Cameron at his best then watch Terminator 2 but otherwise watch this and expect a couple of embarassments.
