Great film.

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2000)

This film got some good part and not so good, I like the film though, The love story is typical and lack of romantic wit and the script is pretty sparse, but or obviously bad, but Cameron manage to put it together (with some grunt though).

The drama is the strongest point of this film from noble band player, sacrifices of other passengers and the inevitable end of the designer of Titanic, Thomas Andrews.
Special effect is awesome especially when the dolphins jumped near the massive bow of Titanic and the sinking of course. The wonderful thing is it doesn't looks like a special effects! unlike some CGI generated characters in Mars attack or Jumanji (monkeys). The music is very good and fit nicely on every scene and making the film feels like in 1912.
well done for first timer James Cameron, but he needs more learning to reach same level as Steven Speilberg.

My verdict. This is not a thrill ride as Star Wars or Starship troopers or fine tune of Schindler's List, but a good movie. You like it if you don't mind Leonardo DiCaprio, sitting like a bum for 3 hours, or listening to old fashion like music. Ill give it 8 out of 10.
