So the ship sinks;so what?

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 1999)

My initial thoughts when first sitting down to watch Titanic at the cinema were,"So we already know the ending, so how good can it be?"
Well, after the first ten minutes of crap, the true story unfolds and the story of Rose(Kate Winslet) and Jack(Leonardo Di Caprio) is told.
Titanic has an all star cast including the afore mentioned doomed lovers, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates(Misery), Bill Paxton(A Simple Plan) and Jonathon Hyde(Anaconda). Each of the cast puts in a near perfect performance, and the story is surprisingly good. Both Winslet and Di Caprio deserved more recognition for their stunning performances as did James Cameron for his brilliant direction.
On a whole, the film was an excellent version of the Titanic tragedy. It was later proven that Leo's character, Jack Dawson was actually on the Titanic. Rating=4/5
