Amazing the 1st time, okay the 2nd time, a pain in the butt the 3rd time

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

Titanic is indeed an excellent movie, and one that everyone should probably see at some point or another. It is truly a gem among films. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking, easily some of the best that I have ever seen. The performances from both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are some of the truest and most heartfelt ever. Their chemistry is perfect, totally and utterly believable. James Cameron does an awesome job directing. The suspense remains the entire time, even though you know how it's going to turn out. My only problem with Titanic is the length. Seriously, a good half hour - 45 minutes could have been cut from the end. Do we really need to see all of those people drown? Yes and no. No, because 3 hours and 14 minute is way to long, even for an epic movie. Yes, because it makes the entire thing more believable and all the more heart/gut wrenching. Titanic is an amazing movie, but not one that you can see a ton of times. The 1st time it's amazing, the 2nd time it's okay, the 3rd time you end up checking your watch ever 5 minutes waiting for it to be over. A solid 10/10.
