A great film that must be seen by all movie lovers

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2006)

An astoundingly brilliant film that must be seen by all movie fans. Raised the bar significantly with a perfect combination of special effects and emotion thanks to great acting by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Its easy to see that the 2 of them had a great on and off screen chemistry. The success of the film however is down to James Camerons meticulous direction and dedication, undoubtedly his best film. At a cost of 200m it was the most expensive film ever made when released in 1997. When watching the film I forget that the ship is mainly computer generated and the waves arn't real. I was swept along by the sheer spectacle of the film. Three hours of film that never leads the audience astray and has a final one and a half hours that is the most gripping of any epic I have ever seen. The most successful film of all time doing 1.8 billion at the box office world wide and winning 11 Oscars. It deserves all the success it has had and is a true masterpiece. If you haven't seen it, see it! p.s get the special edition DVD,preferably 5 disc
