Classic

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2002)

Since seeing Titanic in theaters, I must've watched this movie a good twenty or thirty times. Maybe it depends on taste, but I don't understand all the negative reviews this piece so frequently gets.
It's obviously a love story, but surrounding that there is so much more going on that makes this one worth while. I'm normally not a fan of romance, but this particular one was done so well. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet had a belivable chemistry on set and both did outstanding jobs in their respective roles. Secondary roles from the other characters were very well done also. (My favorite happens to be Billy Zane.. I tend to favor the bad guys...always)
So anyway - the costumes, the music, the cinematography, the direction, the set, the story line, (most) of the acting - it all flowed great together. I personally think this movie will eventually go down with the other classics of our time. It may take awhile but it will happen. I will admit the movie is a little tooooo long but the time goes quickly and easily. The real story of the Titanic has always interested me, and I think this movie opened more people up to it.
Worth your time. 8 out of 10.
