This movie had a rollercoaster of varying opinions over the years. When it first came out it got fantastic reviews and won plenty of Academy Awards. It was an enormous financial success. Yet later on it seemed to get a poor reception from people. It was actually voted the #1 worst movie ever in UK at one point. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3242607.stmLooking back on Way back Machine Titanic had a IMdB score of just 6.9 but it's now just kept going up and up and now it's at a very respectabke 7.7. I don't really hear people bad mouth any more. So what do you think of Titanic? I've always thought it was a great movie and impressively well made. Very worthy of being the biggest movie of all time unlike Avatar.

It's a great movie. It got backlash because of "My Heart Will Go On" and Leo-mania. As time has passed people have put their hate aside and let it live as it should. And a new generation has probably found some appreciation for it as well.

I love it, always have, but seeing it recently has made me detest the love story. While it is obviously the main focus point of the film, it still has a lot of incredible things about it, like the sinking, historical characters & supporting characters, cinematography, score etc. I love the film for these aspects, but I can't stand the main romance plot anymore.
Its just I've found the two main characters to be obnoxious & not very interesting. Not to the point of making me not hate it entirely though. I know this might seem like a weird opinion.

Technically, it was great...though I never once believed that water was cold. Jack was submerged up to his waist in FRIGID ARCTIC water and would've died of exposure right then. And when Rose came wading down the water-filled hallway like it was nothing, I knew right then a suspension of disbelief was necessary. I did like the CGI'd breath for the characters, however.
I think I would've preferred a straight documentary approach, without the sappy love story, though I do like the very end. Very sentimental.

I've always been fascinated with the Titanic sinking so I love the historical aspect of this movie but the love story gets old fast. It really is sad how so many of the historical scenes ended up on the cutting room flood compared to the so few love story ones that did. I wish Cameron had hired a screenwriter to write a better script instead of writing his own to stoke his ego.

I'm pretty sure it was #1 in the Top 250 when it came out.
I think the love story really works and is one of the strongest things the movie has going for it. Pearl Harbor, that was the bad love story.

I tend to overlook the love story and any unrealistic details. But the film is an excellent use of CGI to realistically depict the event. I think Bates is among the finest actors today and I love that she plays Molly Brown. Cameron's version far surpasses the previous films on this tragedy.

I loved it! But I can see why people wouldn't. Have you seen the honest trailer? I thought it was pretty hilarious 😂
My favorite part was when he was like "From the story that spawned thousands of heartbreaking true stories.. comes this fake one." 😂

Decent film -- 7/10. I prefer A Night to Remember.

It's a splendidly made romantic Hollywood epic that they don't make anymore. Or that good anyway.

Perfectly competent, two-star movie with inexplicably huge box office and lasting reputation of being faddish, overrated, and overwrought. Has not aged well. I rarely, if ever, hear it brought it up in an unironic or non-pejorative way.

Hated it! Full of overly-cliched characters and a plot that is as original as a Chinese handbag. The special effects were really good though. I could say the exact same thing for "Avatar".

4/10 Mainly because I am a fan of Dicaprio, Paxton, and Cameron. Everything else about this is garbage. Winslet and Zane both can not act I chuckled at their scenes together or apart a lot.

Good but pretty overrated. Probably a 7.5/10 or 8/10.

Overrated historical fiction movie. It can be summed up on four sentences.
The boy and girl met on the Titanic.
The ship sank.
The boy died.
Years later, the girl died.

I hated it. Thoroughly unconvincing plot - there is no way a young upper class girl in those days would be allowed to run around the ship unchaperoned, still less go anywhere near third class. Rose and Jack both very annoying characters. Far too sentimental. Villain so absurdly villainous he was a caricature - if they hadn't been on a ship he'd have been tying Rose to the railway lines.

Some of that was sort of the point though. It's a mega budget version of the melodramas of old.
