Fabulous

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 1999)

Like everybody that attended Titanic I knew the ship would sink but I was hoping that it wouldn't. I wanted the movie to forget about the destruction of the ship and carry on with the story of Rose and Jack, the two lovebirds that James Cameron based his fictional story on. But I knew it had to happen, the ship hit that damned iceberg,. Fortunately, the film only got better.
This is a fabulous film worthy of each Oscar that it received. The chemistry between the leads will never be matched. Personally I think Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio were made for each other. The supporting cast are excellent. The ship's builder, the captain, Molly Brown and of course Gloria Stuart in a sensational performance.
But there is no denying it, this is James Cameron's film. His script has many flaws but his direction is flawless. This man knows every trick in the book and he pulls everything together. As a romance, as an action movie, as a historic drama it's a success. James Cameron is a wizard and he deserved his moment of narcissism at the oscars. Well done James!
PS If you didn't see it at the cinema, wait until there is a cinema re-release. The film's is a lot less effective on the small screen.
