Completely gripping.. Truly a masterpiece of film making..

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 1999)

Perhaps a little cheesy in the scripting (if you're picky), but at least that's the only thing wrong, of all the possible things that could have sunk this wonder.
Hype? When I saw it, the only hype I had heard was a Washington Post article that started 'Love story sinks Titanic', printed several weeks before the movie's release. I saw it on new year's eve, and was completely impressed. I barely noticed the 3 hours pass as I was totally drawn in by Cameron's effective presentation. If you haven't seen this because you "already know the ship sinks", you're fooling yourself: the ship sinks in a computer model in the first 5 minutes, so nothing you see is a surprise. SEE IT. thank you. ;)
