The best part of the movie was the 2nd half, when everybody died, including that kid DiCaprio.
The only thing worth watching in the first half is the rather chubby naked chick, assuming you don't mind that.
I hate leo de cape...but how many of you out there want to watch a 2 hour film about a boat that splits in two and sinks. Cameron you gave the movie worth watching
Titanic is one of the best movies of all time. Cameron is an excellent writer and director. The movie is not boring at all. Its only boring to people who don't understand the piece of work. When you learn to appreciate the hard work that goes into making a huge film like this, then you will be amazed at how it was created. Hands down, James Cameron is one of the best of all time, and so is his films. Oh and another thing, people need to give more credit to Billy Zane (Cal) because he gave an excellent and completely believable performance.
Honestly this was a waste of 3 hours. I thought one time when I saw too guys kiss that, that was the gayest thing I had ever seen, but now that I saw this movie It's really changed my mind.
Jesus, I have to comment on this again, This was not only the worst movie I have ever seen but it was BY FAR the worst movie I have ever seen, I think if cameron switched up the cast differently it could have had some hope, and I stress the word COULD.
i think the film was good! kate winslet was a bit over the top but played the role brilliantly and as for leonardo diCaprio, if it want for him being so dam fine i dont think i would have stayed as interested. i think the cast choice was good and the film was very moving!
What kills me, is that you guys are sitting here bashing the highest grossing movie of all times. If it's so 'horrible', why did it win the Academy Award for best picture? Why did it sweep the Oscars? Sorry, I haven't seen any of YOU win an Oscar lately.
hey i love titanic movie so much i really like leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet its so cool please visite my titanic site www.freewebs.com/titaniclover/ thanks
i see it is really a big piece of trash, cameron here just presents a payed lessons to people about how to be fornicators no diffirence of the other porno movies. it is the same , it is a trash. respecting for the award: i afraid that the commitee awards wan in non-balance case when they gave all these awards to a movie doesn't worthy.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANY ONE OF YOU CRY BABY WINOS MAKE A MOVIE WHERE A TRILLION TONNE SHIP SPLITS IN HALF! ONCE YOU DO THEN BY ALL MEANS COMPLAIN...UNTIL THEN, SHUT YOUR GODDAM FACES!!!
If the movie sucked so bad why did all of you take the time to see it or even comment about it. you guys oviously dont know much about movie making because that movie made BANK..i am sure that leonardo dicapreo is thinking the same thing like you guys then he wipes his butt with a $20 and remebers i am rich...the movie was to be seen by those who could see for what it really was about millons of people who lost there lives! cant you just respect that!
This is a fine peice of work people. Before any actors were casted, before the ship was even rebuilt, the work that Cameron wrote on those peieces of paper is amazing. The story is well thought out and the emotions are powerful. There were even people from history in this film, now that is what I call significant detail. If a writer can go back in a time which they didn't even experience and bring out such a pogant and believable story, I can say they are truly amazing. Good, film, good direction, good writing, GOOD CAMERON!!!!
I think that Titanic is one of the worst movie ever made. it did not diserve to win 11 oscars there where way better movies that yeat that should have one
OK this is probably the most fair assessment of the movie. Great writing by Cameron. The only reason the movie was so successful was because of DiCaprio. Not one of his best performances, but check out Basketball Diaries, Gangs of New York, and the Aviator. He is a very good actor.
All those people bitchin about titanic are simply put: idiotic morons. These are the people that only like huge explosions, big car chase sequences, and tits. Titanic is one of the better films of all time. It desrved those oscars. And for all of you fucking retards who think fucking thirteen ghosts was an oscar worthy picture...honestly. Its people like you that make other idiots like yourselves to make those types of stupid movies.
A giant HURRAH! to all of you who hated this movie mistake as much as I did. What a waste of film. Easy to see why--the screenplay was horrible. I saw it once, like everyone else in the world due to the huge fanfare and hype, but what a mistake. Sure, great costumes, fabulous effects... amazing what can be done with money...the story in itself wasn't even THAT bad. Actually, I've been trying to figure out for years why I hated this movie so much, and can still not put my finger on it. Certainly the leads whiney voice didn't help, but it was so much more than that--I think what I really hated was the way I was supposed to celebrate this woman's animal craving for a boy below her station in life--which simply would not have happened in that time or place. I was being manipulated, and it didn't work. When they tried to portray her fiance as an abusive male, I just rolled my eyes. Oh, please! What about her mother? Winslet's character just blithely runs off with a pretty face and leaves her mummy to drown?
I hate this movie. It was painfull to watch - I'll never trust my sister's taste in films ever again. If anyone says "Yeah? I'd like to see you do better! Then you can compain!" - grow up. I think a half-wit hamster could do better with the budget this film had. "So why did it win so many Oscars?" - well, that's Hollywood for you; fickle. The special effects were very clever and glossy but unfortunatly didn't overshadow the inemptitude executed with the cliche-driven, yawn-inducing, candy-floss of a super-plot (and I mean 'super' as in 'above' - opposite to 'sub', not a camp way of saying fantastic) - when DiCaprio's character dies and Winslet pushes him off the make-shift raft, I couldn't stop laughing; probably not Cameron's intention. And to the poster who mentioned: "All those people bitchin about titanic are simply put: idiotic morons. These are the people that only like huge explosions, big car chase sequences, and tits." No. Titanic is a disgrace, and has many similarities to those aspects you mentioned: "huge explosions", well, plenty of them in Titanic - the ship hitting an iceberg is pretty huge; "big car chase sequence", perhaps not with cars, but with people which amounts to the same thing, really; "and tits", yes, you guessed it, you get to see Winslet's... so, in reality, all Titanic is, is a brainless action movie with a little romance thrown in (most, if not all action movies have some romance in them to some degree). Completely unstimulating on any level.
An All Time Classic, I wish I could write like James C.

That's why this film is so poor - it's basis lives in cliche. Love, Hate, Life, Death and Sex trancend 'all borders, barriers and languages'; it's all so simple. And then attach it to a very well known tragedy. Where's the greatness in that?
I can't believe what I'm reading about this film. How half the people on this website can look over the heart and soul put into the making of this film is beyond me. James Cameron did one hell of a job with this movie. He was able to make a film that you can go back and watch again and yet still enjoy just as much as you did the first time. Not many films can do that but this one did. One of the greatest films that have ever been made, this is up there with Gone with the Wind and Casablanca.
I don't see how any narrow-minded psyco can sit there and bash on this movie. The story line was flawless, historically correct (as a movie can be), the acting amazing and the special effects way before it's time. "Titanic" is one of the most touching movies that I have ever seen and this is why I loved it so much.
You all did great, I know a good movie when I see one, and this one is beyond good , its wonderful , if you think Leonardo is the only reason I liked it , its nottrue,OKEY ,okey mabye it is (in a way) and STOP CALLING HIM DI CRAP IO put yourself in his plase , how would u feel?Great job Leo, Kate,& Mr.Cameron ,and all the others that spent there time on thas film, great job
I am 12 years old and I do have to agree with Wiggle that Titanic is a great movie! And I would say it is a girly movie. And I thought Jack (Leonardo Dicaprio) was way to cute to die. I just sat in tears!
Like wiggle I am 12 years of age and I love Titanic! I loved the line you jump I jump! My friend Raychell loves Titanic and we made up a scrap book that is how much I like it.
I'm glad people are still talking about it

Recently, Titanic has left popular consciousness and kind of become a black sheep. It's been 10 years since it premiered. This film deserved all of the awards, praise and accolades it got, and more. James Cameron fashioned a film that literally spoke to people as deeply as Gone with the Wind and Casablanca. Many have tried. Many have failed. Master filmmaker James Cameron comes along and does what so many had hoped they could accomplish. This is why Hollywood hates him. The film is still number one at the box office. Face it, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is three separate films and none of them came close to beating Titanic. So, I assume the other people bashing this masterpiece are jealous or simply have nothing better to do.
Titanic was one of the most beautiful and moving movies i have ever seen i have only recently seen it because im a bit slow but it was a great film and i think the cast was very brillantly well played and James Cameron is one of the best movie writers expecially for films like this.
and for all those people out there saying it is an awful film i think you are totally wrong it may be a long movie time but it is very moving you people just have no heart and lenardo decrapieo is a great actor!!!
