Titanic Reviews
'Titanic' isn’t shy about reaching for the heartstrings, but it’s so well made and acted that it’s impossible to look away from.

Cameron is skilled at creating successful films that often perform exceptionally well at the box office, and Titanic was no exception.

An awe-inspiring, life-changing love — the kind, perhaps, worth boarding the Titanic for.

Still my second favourite film of all time. A masterpiece.

The fact that we're still talking about Titanic over 25 years after its release speaks to the film and ship's staying power. Some issues with the fictional love story not withstanding, Titanic remains an epic achievement in filmmaking.

As colossal as the ship itself.

Technically very good and with great visual achievements, but, in the end, it's a cheesy, fluffy narration full of meringue that doesn't satisfy. [Full review in Spanish]

Intimate and personal in a manner belying its scale, James Cameron’s work on Titanic holds up as well as ever.

Those shots of the boat sinking — the grand terror of it all — goodness gracious, man…the swooning, doomed romance…Garber by the clock…Leo the damn movie star…cinema! Cinema, I say! Cinema!

James Cameron knows what he's doing, and with “Titanic”, he made a modern classic; simple and archetypal, but powerful. I'm sure I'll end up seeing it again (in 6K, 8K or even as a hologram) in five, ten, or even thirty years. Full review in Spanish.

It is a lighting-in-a-bottle moment in cinematic history where the stars aligned and came to represent what a perfect film could achieve when everything went exactly right.

You can say what you want about James Cameron, he makes movies people want to go see -- Whether they're about a blue-skinned indigenous tribe on a faraway planet or a love story set aboard a doomed luxury liner in 1912.

My favorite line in the movie comes from Kathy Bates’ Molly Brown, who instantly sizes up the tension between Billy Zane’s arrogant Cal and his betrothed Rose...

... a guilty-pleasure tear-jerker.

Cameron’s greatest strength is his unrelenting drive to amass a spectacle fitting of his source material. Titanic is a testament to a time when film tried to step outside the confines of the screen and change the very world around its walls.

One of the greatest disaster films ever and certainly the one truly genuine blockbuster movie of the '90s.

Perfectly linked, in logistical and emotional terms, the distinct perspectives within Titanic adjust themselves perfectly. [Full review in Spanish]

The biggest decision that guaranteed Titanic’s success was the casting of the two leads. Neither was a particularly huge star when the movie was being put together in 1996, but their chemistry was electric. (25th anniversary)

The film brought the old legend to life and stoked an emotional windfall that has never been seen in movies before or since.
