Titanic is the embodiment of a gifted director working at the top of his craft. His eye for detail is masterful. Of course there's that spectacular final act that is the standard for non-stop, heart pounding excitement. But what many directors fail to establish is a cast we since... read more

In the middle of watching this again for the first time in probably a decade, I thought, "Meh. The dialogue IS pretty overwrought." But by the end, it won me over as it did before with its pure and earnest portrayal of unburdened love, despite this harrowing tragedy. It's just... read more

Does the world need another Titanic review? Emphatically NO - BUT after screening this many years after its release in 3D with a couple of teen aged relatives last week I have a new appreciation for this warhorse and liked it much more on a second viewing many years later.
It's... read more -

The story starts in present time (1997), with the sole living survivor of the Titanic disaster. She reveals a love story between two classes on board the maiden voyage of the Titanic across the Atlantic. The Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks. My fave scenes are the spitting and a... read more

James Cameron's Titanic is no doubt a classic and it boasts some awesome visual spectacles, music, and costumes. The acting is for the most part fantastic, especially that of Kate Winslet, Frances Fisher, Victor Garber and Gloria Stuart. Other supporting actors such as Bill Pax... read more

A monumental epic, technically spectacular and incredibly moving. A dazzling emotional roller-coaster that makes you really care about its characters and even feel like one of the survivors. The newly converted 3D is relatively well done, though obviously not perfect.

April 14, 2012fb100000145236770"Titanic" is by far the biggest movie to ever come out so far in my lifetime. It came out when I was a freshman in high school. I remember seeing it four times in the theater(not my choice,but everyone loved it and wanted to see it again and again). Until "Avatar" it was the h... read more

I'm glad I waited 15 years to see this film long after the initial hullabaloo so that I could fairly judge its place in cinematic history. Yes, it's overly long and a few scenes could certainly had been made much shorter, particularly towards the end. However, it is a really well... read more

Woohoo! "Titanic", the 1997 romantic epic that won 11 Academy Awards, has been re-released on an even grander scale. We are, once again, treated to over three hours of the most wearisome and banal piece of cinema to ever grace our screens. But wait... it's in 3D. I'm so happy, I ... read more

3D Re-release (4/4/12)
You call that 3D? Why can't we just have a normal, 35mm screening of a bloody fantastic film? I'm a huge fan of Titanic - one of my personal favorites, but this 3D was just horrible. The conversion supposedly took 60 weeks to complete where the technicians... read more
Critic Reviews
"Titanic" still amazes as the kind of massive, build-and-destroy production that few filmmakers have the ambition or budget to make. Full Review
[Cameron] stages the sinking with a flawless sense of detail, pacing, import and dread. Full Review
This version has deepened and enriched a film that was already rich in emotions and remarkable for its depth of detail. Full Review
How is Titanic in 3D? The answer is pretty damn dazzling. Full Review
Cameron is a genius at instilling narrative dread and designing a hokum-drenched fairy tale of a certain size. Full Review
If any film should be redone in 3-D, it's "Titanic." And if any filmmaker should be the one doing the redoing, it's James Cameron. Full Review
Sure, it's corny, but there's something endearing about the tale of young love and its earnest lack of irony. Full Review
Like Kathy Bates' "unsinkable" Molly Brown, "Titanic" is unabashedly American: It's big, brash and sometimes gauche, yet also unapologetically earnest, amazing to look at and devoted to its own cause.... Full Review
Overall, for a blockbuster movie about one great big thing hitting another great big thing, the new film shows distinctly upper-deck restraint. Full Review
