Post-hype, this must surely be viewed at a cinema great.

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2000)

The trouble with seeing any film in the midst of all its hype is that you can never pass a judgment on the film alone.
I didn't see "Titanic" at the cinema (trying to avoid the hype, you see) but waited until I had a free afternoon and watched it at home on video. What a movie!
Some IMBd users have called it historically inaccurate, romantic rubbish. What did you expect? If you want to see a documentary about the Titanic there are plenty available. If you don't want to see a romance I suggest you look for a film that doesn't have two of cinema's "darlings" embracing on all the posters.
The best way to enjoy this film is simply to go with it. Ignore the fact that some of the CGI is too obvious and ignore the fact that Leo looks more like Kate's younger brother than a convincing lover. Let the film tug at your emotions and if by the end you're not crying at Rose's collection of photos then you're probably not the sort of person who should see movies.
"Titanic" is a great movie.
