it was not the best movie ever...but YES it was ONE OF THE best movies ever! All the film was spectacular...the special effects were outstanding...and come on...i saw someone saying that he went to the film to see a movie about TITANIC...that sounded like TITANIC was a person...of course the ship plays the part...but it`s not a character...the story is about the people who sank on the Titanic...and about the lovestory...it was pretty good.Why?because i truly believe that there were enough stories like that on the real Titanic...lame story?no...just realistic..Come on,it`s a lovestory! if anyone of you has loved `till now,i guess you can find the lovestory..A LOVESTORY.I`ll end up saying that without the lovestory it would have become a DOCUMENTARY. i think i said too much,and maybe i haven`t said it all..but i`ll stop here.
P.S.: Don`t judge me it`s just an opinion!
I never went to see it at cinema and waited on the video release, friends had gone to see it there and raved about the special effects.
The story of the Titanic has always held a fascination for me, and I've seen past movies on it too before this one.
Yes the love story part of it was the worst thing they did about it, Kate Winslet was the better actor in the duet and that story could have been carried off in another movie set much differently, giving the chance for the film to go into detail about what the true survivors actually did.
The beginning and ending parts interviewing the old Kate could have been adjusted accordingly but other than that I still love the film.
It brought the story up to date visually, and at the time my son who was around 2 at the time, would sit glued to it!!!
The effects must have been good 😄

You know I really loved this movie but I think its HIGHLY overated.I just cant figure out WHY this movie made 1 BILLION worldwide.And why no other movie has been able to beat it.Personally I think its because all the guys wanted to go see the naked lady.But what do you guys think about the movie and it being overated?
It was a very well crafted movie. I'm not sure that the acting is top notch but it is certainly worth acknowledging. It was a well casted movie, but the recycled story didnt give the cast much to work with, however, the story was perfect for the movie. I am still surprised today to know how much this film grossed. Being such an atmospheric film based around an intriguing disaster i can understand it though. People love disaster films and people enjoy dramatic love stories. These two aspects combined with cutting edge visual effects culminated into an event in cinema.
These type of movies rarely appeal to me, but i think there is something for most tastes in the movie. The only gripe i have with the movie is that it grossed so much money and allowed james cameron to sit comfortable for the rest of his life which could be why he doesnt make films very often anymore 🙁
