Forget the critics - this is a great movie

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2005)

This really is cinema at its finest. Titanic is a brilliant movie, mixing romance and tragedy together to tell a beautiful and fragile love story. The genius of the movie comes not from the tragic sinking of the liner but the romance that develops between Jack and Rose.
Don't be put off by the 3 hr plus running time, this film canters along at breathtaking pace, with the final hour of the film containing some superb special effects.
Costing upwards of 200 million dollars to make, Titanic was all set to become one of the greatest flops of all time. Instead it has become an instant classic, a film that can be seen over and over again. Love, as they say, is eternal.
