A spectacular film!

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2005)

The visual effects were unlike any I've ever seen. It combined a great story line with a stunning performance by Kate Winslet. Leonardo D. was not at his best. I liked him better in Catch Me If You Can. Billy Zane gave a great impression of seeming truly evil. Bill Paxton was a great archaeologist. I think Titanic deserved the eleven Academy Awards it received. The scene that got me going was when Rose had to get the ax to free Jack from being locked in handcuffs. It seemed so sad that Rose only knew Jack for five days before he died. The costumes made me think I was in 1912. The only downer was the length of the movie. Other than that, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.
