Captivating.

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 1998)

I do not understand how so many people can dislike this film. It is one of the most amazing cinematic achievements to come out in years. I also do not understand how people who go to see films like this only see its faults (so-called bad acting, script, etc.), and not the good qualities it possesses, of which there are many.
I admit that I am one of the millions who have seen this film and was swept away by the raw humanity of it. It is not just a romance...it is also a re-telling of a tragedy that affected the entire world -- 2,228 lives that were changed on a single night. There are a couple of minuses in this film, but those are nothing in comparison to the many pluses -- the sweeping love story, the wonderful performances, the beautiful costumes, the grand ship, the humanity of it all.
Titanic is not just a cinematic achievement...it has class, grace, and elegance. It is the film of the decade...and it will no doubt change the style of Hollywood filmmaking in the future. This is not just a film...it is the re-telling of a tragedy entertwined with a love story, an overall saga that will touch your heart and last in the memory for long after you leave the theatre.
"Titanic" deserves a 10.
