 |  | Saw it about thirty times in theaters... |  |
and now have it in my dvd collection. It's been over a decade, but Titanic is a timeless masterpiece that never goes out of date. This movie has a little bit of everything in it...action, romance,...you laugh...you cry. Leo and Kate made us care about what happened to them. I think one of the reasons this movie has touched so many people is becauce, quite honestly, we are looking for a love like this...a love this deep...this profound. Am I ready to go back to Titanic?...Always. And I would recommend this to anyone.

Really, what else needs to be said about Titanic? This edition has some great background material that you'll enjoy including an alternate ending that will have you rolling and pounding on the floor! I'm not sure who ultimately gets the the credit for the one that we all know but from this you can see that the editing room doesn't get near enough credit.
August 4, 2008Not everyone who leaves a negative review about this film has an anti-Cameron agenda, and not everyone who leaves a positive review is a naive 13 year-old girl. I am not a kid, but was unable to publish this review without leaving my real name and real address, so phooey to that. Onward...
There are those of us who simply didn't like the movie, who felt it was cloying and suffered from shallow, cliched characterizations. The romance was laughable, as was the obviousness of the "poor folk" vs. the "rich folk," the perfect working class hero as perfect martyr, the unsatisfied rich girl, the snobby parents, the scheming competitor, etc.. Nearly every stock character was hauled out for this movie, and given nothing fresh.
The only interesting character in the movie was the ship itself. Perhaps that's why they named the movie "Titanic."
That it appealed to a younger set is no surprise, and should not be taken as a criticism of the film. Cliche doesn't apply to kids because everything is new to them. We jaded movie buffs are a tough lot to please, and maybe we should realize that a majority of films aren't made for us. They are made for the wide-eyed young masses who haven't yet learned about archetypes. And not that archetypes are the mark of bad art--rather, they are necessary, and should be handled with better camouflage than James Cameron seemed capable of writing.
My dislike of "Titanic" has nothing to do with genre prejudice. My tastes are wide-ranging, from "Aliens" to "Trip to Bountiful" to "Murderball" to "Rushmore." I didn't like "Titanic" because I consider it a mediocre movie, unredeemed by its admittedly harrowing climax. It all starts and ends with the writing. This movie was poorly written. 'Nuff said.

I'm sure we've all heard this line about the great movies of the past, "Gone With the Wind" etc, but Titanic is a lot like those classics. Adventure, romance, humor, desperate times, heroes, villans, and damsels in distress, it's got it all and it delivers.
