Featuring spectacular special effects set amidst the backdrop of one of the most tragic events of the 20th Century, James Cameron's award-winning 'Titanic' stands as one of the...
more...greatest Hollywood spectaculars of all time. Beginning with an undersea expedition in the 1990s, in which scuba divers are searching the sunken ship for lost relics, a painting of young Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is found. This triggers a flashback to the young woman's story as it happened on the doomed Titanic. Rose is a daughter of privilege on her way to be married to an arrogant but wealthy young man (Billy Zane). Despairing, Rose finds herself falling in love with Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a carefree and poor young artist who is also aboard. When the great ship strikes an iceberg and begins to sink, Rose and Jack have only each other as their world falls apart around them. Director James Cameron spared no expense in bringing his simple yet powerful love story to life, building a 90 per cent scale model of the ship, fussing over the tiniest details, and ultimately spending some 200 million U.S. dollars. A worldwide smash, 'Titanic' received fourteen Academy Award nominations and 11 wins, including Best Picture. Despite all the lavish sets and special effects, the film would be nothing without the emotional core provided by stars Winslet and DiCaprio, who give star making performances as the tragic young lovers.

"The Ship Of Dreams"
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by bigmike33

Advantages: Great drama and emotion
Disadvantages: The script is weak

Intro>>> When Titanic first came out in 1998 I was rather lukewarm to the hype surrounding the film, so didn't get around to watching it until it came out on DVD. Once I watched it my feelings changed completely, and I fell in love with the film and the romance between the two leads. I really am an old romantic at heart. A lot of people are still angry about this Titanic film, claiming that a great tragedy has been turned into a soppy soap opera, ... Read review

It Really Was The Ship Of Dreams
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by Sicaroo

Advantages: Fanatastic, Sensational, Marvellous film with plenty of extra features on 4 Discs
Disadvantages: None worth being labelled as a genuine disadvantage

...like to shake your hand. Titanic is renowned by many as being a stunning epic, but with the four disc DVD edition, it truly becomes a masterpiece. Everyone knows the short story of the unsinkable ship that hits an iceberg and ironically sinks, however this movie version adds real depth to the renowned tale. With a smart mix of appealing storyline and historical knowledge, director James Cameron and his team have created a movie that will appeal ... Read review

An Exceptional Film!!
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by diamond_sparkles

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: NONE

Titanic might be considered by many as cheesy and overly dramatic, and I have even heard a couple of my acquaintances call it downright stupid. But I can easily admit to the fact that this is one of the exceptionally well done movies that I ever saw. I think that the number of Oscars awards and acclaims that the movie got speak for themselves. I personally love the special effects, as well as the poignancy and intensity of the relationship depicted ... Read review

One of the best films you'll see
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by pmcds

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: A couple of technical flaws, but hardly worth mentioning

Titanic is the 1998 multi-Oscar winning film starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as two of the passengers on board the Titanic as it sank in 1912. The film is directed by James Cameron, and is regarded as the film that launched its leads into superstardom. What we have here is essentially a very clever notion to use one of the most dramatic and famous events of the 20th Century as a backdrop to a well-crafted romance story, with high class ...

Disadvantages: Film on 2 discs, deleted scenes and alternative ending seperate from film

...is another telling of the Titanic disaster in 1912 where over 1500 people lost their lives after the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. It opens with a deep sea exploration of the Titanic in search of the "Heart of the Ocean" gem. After retrieving a safe all that was found was a drawing of Rose (Kate Winslett) wearing the gem. The now old Rose sees a feature about this on the television and joins the team on the exploration of the Titanic. Whilst ... Read review

Overrated film
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by RedTape

Advantages: good storyline
Disadvantages: bad attempt at a script, acting could have been better, etc...

...you and tell you that Titanic is one of the most overrated movies of the last century. I remember everyone rushing to watch it in theatres when it first came out, and the amount of publicity it received. I remember the ceaseless chatting about this excruciatingly long movie, and the assurances of how good it must have been. I'm not sure about everyone else though, but when I watched it finally on cable it seemed a bit average to me. I'm not the ... Read review

Until disastrous fate struck.
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by fwankiedoodle13

Advantages: Brilliant story line.
Disadvantages: Alternative ending, not so good.

...on the front of the Titanic with Jack. There is also another feature of the alternate 9 minute-ending. This may interest some of you, but for me it was a letdown. I didn't like the ending as it gave away the sense of mystery, however you will have to watch to see if you agree with me. The length of the film is 186 minutes. Being over three hours you may think it would get extremly boring but due to it's gripping features it is actually possible ... Read review

Best Movie of all time
Review of Titanic (Special Edition) (DVD) by angelelectra

Advantages: EXTREMELY WELL DONE
Disadvantages: May be too tragic at times!

Titanic is an all-time romantic classic! I believe that the main reason why this movie has rightfully earned its numerous awards, praises and acclaims is because not only is the movie based on a real-life tragedy, but it incorperates humor, drama, tragedy, romance, feminist and class issues, among many other themes present in the movie. Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet who portray Jack and Rose have an on-screen chemistry between them which ... Read review
