A modern-day classic

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2001)

Getting past the fact that Leo is way too young looking for Kate, this really was a great modern film. Every time I see it, I find something new to like about it. Knowing the ending before going in (from a historical perspective) does not dampen the excitement that leads up to the inevitable. Costumes are divine, and although Kate overacts (kinda sounds like a breathless Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz occasionally), the acting is believable. The recreation of the Titanic is amazing. Considering this is not the typical film I would enjoy (I tend to avoid over-blown Hollywood "blockbusters"), it was extremely enjoyable.
