Best epic of 90's

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2002)

Pros: Directing, Special effects, Score, Kate winslet Cons: Turns to melodrama at the end
Not the best film of that year(LA Confidential takes that title) but the best epic of the 90's. James Cameron's 200 million dollar tale is both epic in size and intimate and Cameron provides wonderful directing and pacing for the film. Often named the most popular film in history, it broke box office records held by jurassic park due in part to the leading man Leonardo di Caprio. Cameron's film starts out slow but once the ship hits the iceberg, it's nonstop action till the end. Kate winslet character seems a bit spoilt and billy zane is unbelievable but these are minor quibbles to an otherwise terrific film
Premise: Film details the fate of several passengers in the maiden and only voyage of the titanic.
Titanic was nominated for fourteen academy awards and won 11. Tied with Ben-Hur as the most in history.
Grade: 9.5/10 (Breathtaking epic)
