A Movie of Titanic proportions

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2005)

When I first saw this movie way back in 1997, I was in awe at the ground breaking special effects. This was the most expensive movie done up to its time. I'm not sure if it is anymore(Lord of the Rings)but it definitely stands the test of time. There are scenes in this movie that are timeless and unforgettable. Who can forget Leo's "King of the world!" scene, or Kate Winslets "Never let go.." scene. No one, at least no one who has seen the film. The acting in the film is spectacular and Kate and Leo are the perfect pair. There are certain things in the film that movie buffs like myself might find a little displeasing. The dialog has been dumbed down so that people of this day and age could understand what the characters were saying, secondly the title Titanic may be a little misleading. This movie, though based highly on the ship, can't help but steer away from the point of the movie. No one can disagree that Titanic is in most part a love story and stories about people sailing on the Titanic. But even with these minor follies, it never stopped me from buying the tape and watching it countless times, to buying the DVD and watching it countless times. This movie hit me into a four year obsession with the Titanic. All I read were Titanic books, and watch Titanic movies. I know anything and everything about the Ship and this movie surpasses my expectations. It is a must see. Filled with action, romance, comedy, and awesome special effects; Titanic is a must see.
