Movie Reviews of Titanic
Movie Review: The most beloved film ever - triumph of grand movie making
Summary: 5 Stars
Titanic is an excellent example of grand movie-making at its finest! James Cameron perfectly balanced historical accuracy (many historians have stated that the sinking is shown accurately here for the first time) with a wonderful love story to bring in modern audiences and make them really relate to this oft told tale. Cameron rigthly aimed for a classic hollywood, epic feel to his tale of doomed love aboard the most famous ship in history. His success is obvious from the films incredible world-wide success, and amazing and much deserved 11 Oscar wins!Much of the films success lies in intelligent casting - Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are excellent and have wonderful chemestry as the star-crossed lovers. The rest of the cast is uniformly excellent, especially the ever reliable Kathy Bates as Molly Brown.
The sinking is an edge-of-your seat experience so effectively done that you will feel like you are on the ship! Of course the special effects are great and the music is appropriately wistful and heart-breakingly poignant.
I always get a kick out of reading the bad reviews the silly little critics of the movie write on this site. Who are they? Always nerds. Usually teenage or twenty something pimply boys, although occassionaly a sad-sack older nerd, and sometimes a pathetic, female desperately needing attention. Have you ever met one of these people in real life? They are always obnoxious and unlikeable. They uaually have an excess of body hair (even the females) are usually paunchy, always have rancid breath, and have usually never been in love in their sad little lives, hence their impatience with the love story in Titanic. They really should go floss and shut up.
It kills them that Titanic is number one, and baffles them how their favorite films, usually some Star Wars opus, can't seem to measure up.
We'll have some real fun listening to their impotent ranting when Titanic is re-released in theaters soon and makes another mint! (Hee Hee)!
Titanic the BEST MOVIE ever, forever! Can't wait for the special edition dvd!
Movie Review: Remember the ship
Summary: 5 Stars
Alright, I can't help it. I have to say something. I have read a bunch of these reviews and I am disgusted. This is a movie that honors the sinking of the Titanic. 1500+ lost their lives and all some of these people can say is "I just wanted the ship to sink so that it would be over" or "What a waste of money". These people are ignorant and unsympathetic. "Titanic" allows the moviegoers of today to see the horrors that people went through on that night. This is a movie that I can't watch often because it is so emotional and tragic. It is a movie that puts the values of life, love, heroism, loss, and death into perspective. I can remember leaving the theater and just forgetting about all the nonsense of everyday life and looking at everything from a different point of view.My other problem with some of these reviews is that they say that the love story is horrible. I personally thought that it was very well crafted and I think that some people forget that the romance gives us the characters to become emotionally attached to through the film. We can then appreciate the tragedy because the people on the titanic are no longer strangers. They are real people who we care about. The professional critics, by the way, are so funny to me. Some call the public "dumb" and "easily manipulated" for liking this film. Get over yourselves. I've never seen a critic that has written, directed, or starred in a film. I know i'ts their job, but why can't people just like something? Why are we stupid for liking a movie? Give me a break.
Now, my own review of this movie is that it is very well-made and extremely emotional. The movie is fantastic. The music is phenomenal and could tell the story by itself. This is a film that touched me emotionally and made me feel as though I was there on that sinking ship. James Cameron put a lot of heart into this movie and it shows.
For those people with the "Titanic [stinks]" reviews, I think you missed the whole point and definitely missed out on a powerful film.
Movie Review: Titanic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best movie EVER!!!! If I could, I would give it WAY MORE stars than five. But I can't so...I'll just have to settle with five. I absolutely LOVE Titanic...very much. I've seen it many, many times...I've lost count of how many times, but I've watched it a lot. I've been totally obsessed with Titanic even before the movie came out...and I was only five when the movie came out. And yes, I did watch a PG13 movie at the age of five. My entire family is tired of the movie because they have been forced to watch it so much. I've also made my friends watch it if they haven't seen it before. I say that they're crazy if they haven't see Titanic yet. But me? I never get tired of it, and I never will :)I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.
Now. About the movie.... :)
Titanic is about two young people from two completely different classes falling in love. Jack Dawson, traveling in third class by using a free ticket, is, needless to say, a poor young artist, who wins a ticket to go to America on Titanic by playing poker.
Rose De Witt Bukater is a first class passenger, traveling thanks to her fiance, Caledon "Cal" Hockley. She is traveling with her mother, who is pushing her hard to marry Hockley, no matter how much she doesn't want to. But it only took one moment for everything to change.
From the first moment that Jack Dawson laid his eyes on her, he knew that he loved Rose. They met when Rose was...well, when she was about to make a bad decision. From there on, they started as friends. But soon, their friendship turned to more than just being friends--it turned to love. Titanic is not only a movie about the forbidden love between Jack and Rose, but also about those who lost their lives that tragic night, April 15, 1912, when Titanic sank.
Okay...I know I put facts in there along with the review. Sorry. But hey. Now ya know some Titanic facts. :) Anyway. I think everyone should see this movie because it is totally awesome and I definitely recommend it.
Movie Review: A heartwrenching blend of joy and sadness all in one.
Summary: 5 Stars
There are few movies that in my opinion rival the emotional power of 1997's epic "Titanic" which is still one of the greatest movies ever made to this very day.
In 1997 when a team of ocean divers send down a couple of deep-sea probes to scour the ocean floor, they recover a safe where they uncover a set of drawings of a young woman named Rose that was drawn back on April 14, 1912 but then they receive a call from a centenarian named Rose Dawson Calvert and she tells them that the drawing of the woman was herself done 84 years ago (At the time of the movie) Set on April 14, 1912 on the Titanic's maiden (and only) voyage, it is the tale of two young lovers one is an extremely wealthy young woman named Rose Bukater and a poor lower class young man named Jack Dawson.
There are few movies that in my opinion rival the emotional impact that titanic had on me back when it was released in movie theatres on that cold December day in 1997. The sets on this movie are among the greatest I've ever seen. The titanic scenes, most of them at least, were in fact shot on a real replica of the ship.
This movie could really have turned out to be another "Heaven's Gate" as feared, a movie that cost huge amounts to make and ultimately flopped, but instead and deservedly so "Titanic" ultimately went on to become the most successful box-office film in history with over 1.8 Billion dollars made from it's release and when it was retired from theatres. It's not hard to see why it was so. "Titanic" is arguably one of the greatest masterpieces ever made and only James Cameron's extremely powerful directing could've made it such a powerful, riveting, and emotional experience.
Cameron is one of my all time favorite directors and his movies are among the greatest I've ever seen but I've got to give my hats off as "Titanic" is without a doubt his greatest achievement of all time and I highly recommend this today!
Movie Review: Zhaneisha's 1st review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that I really enjoyed, and it is a movie that I paid attention too. The name of the movie is Titanic, and I love that movie. When I had first seen it with my sister I couldn't stop watching it. When I had to get up and do something I would tell my sister to pause the move so that I wouldn't miss any part of it, but on the other movies I would have said "Let it keep going." The movie is a great movie, and you would love it to if you see it too.
So I would like to give you some details about it, and then you will know why I love it so much. Well the charters names are Jack and Rose, and Rose boyfriend, and they're going somewhere, because they're supposed to go get married at some place. That is why they have to travel on the boat Titanic. Jack the boy he is at a place playing cards for a bag of money, and he had won the game, so then he began to run for he could get on the boat. He had made it just in time, and he had got on the boat and ran to the front of the boat, and go closed his eyes, stuck his hands out and he felt like he was flying. While
Rose was on a date with her boyfriend, but then she had left and she seen Jack, and Jack had took her to a party. She had a lot of fun, so will Rose start going with Jack and cheat on her boyfriend, but that is all I can tell you if you want to know more go get the movie and watch it.
You can tell from this movie is that you can love someone in first sight. This movie is a true story, which had very surprised me when I first saw it. Here is one more detail, at the end of the movie some people will die and some people will stay alive, but please watch the movie for more details and for you can see what happens with Jack, Rose, and Rose's boyfriend. This movie is a great movie, so watch and pay attention to it!
