Good, but flawed

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2007)

The shipwreck of the Titanic is one of the greatest sequences ever directed. The editing, tense score, and the performances of Winslet and Zane are all top-notch. If the whole movie was from the beginning of the shipwreck to the final ending, this would be one of the greatest films ever made. But with everything that came before that, it's just a very good film.
Their's nothing really wrong with the beginning, but the anticipation of the sinking makes me continuously look at the clock. The script is kinda cheesy, but it fits Cameron's glamorous direction perfectly. Some of the best production design ever. Winslet's best, and her only great, performance. DiCaprio is weak, but their chemistry together is great. Zane, Gloria Stuart, and Kathy Bates are all great supporters.
