very very good, well worthy of the numerous Oscars it was awarded

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2008)

having been just five when Titanic was first released, i never got to see it in the cinema. i wish i had, because i know the magic, tension and pure brilliance that oozes from this movie would only be strengthened in the cinema. having seen the movie so many times, i know the plot very very well. despite this, i watch it every time it is on, simply because i know the experience i will get from it is brilliant.
tension grips this movie, as the movie grips and pulls you in. relentlessly holding on until the heart wrenching climax. even then it stays with you. i never got bored during the movie, never once though, when will this be over. the experience is a fountain of enjoyment. the actors set this off, and they work well with the special effects, which add a true sense of realism, as though the audience is on the boat with them. you sit frozen, and are put in the position of Kate Winslet, shaking furiously at the locked gate, wading through the water, feeling the cold creep up, as you search for Jack, played amazingly by Leonardo DiCaprio. the sense of urgency and knuckle whitening tension is relentless, and this is what makes this movie so deserved of its awards, and its place in my memory.
i know i am not alone when i say that this is an all time classic. such action can never be created again. despite its inevitable ending, you hope and pray for some sort of let up, allowing these characters to survive.
one of my favourite movies ever. this movie simply never tires
