James Cameron at his best

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 1999)

I have been a long time fan of James Cameron's work. I saw this movie the third day it was out and I had no idea what to expect since there are so many different Titanic movies around. This movie totally blew me away. Everything from the writing to the direction was extraordinary and the actors were so perfectly cast (I am not a Leonardo fan but I thought he was good as Jack). Billy Zane was brilliant as the evil Cal and even though he never showed real feelings towards Rose you knew that he really loved her (remember he went searching for her on the boat at the end). Kathy Bates gave another wonderful performance and Kate Winslet was terrific as Rose - she really held this movie together and I can't believe that she didn't win the Oscar..
