Titanic movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Titanic is a film that sweeps us away into a world of spectacle, beauty and excitement. Read more
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune: With his beatific, sweet, open face, DiCaprio gives us a rooting interest in hoping that someone important to us survives the wreck. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: What really brings on the tears is Cameron's insistence that writing this kind of movie is within his abilities. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Titanic is indeed a ship of dreams. Climb aboard and bon voyage. Read more
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer: The execution is state-of-the-art and breathtaking. Titanic offers the full compass of courage and cowardice, and it stands as an achievement that truly is a night to remember at the movies. Read more
Jay Carr, Boston Globe: Titanic is big-budget spectacle and director Cameron brings it off with high-tech bravura, placing us aboard the ship in real time. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: No other film has made the horror of the ship's sinking so palpable, and none other has dared to dramatize the night of the living dead that followed after it sank beneath the North Atlantic. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: The regretful verdict here: dead in the water. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: As spectacle, Titanic sets a new standard; as romantic drama, it's substandard. Read more
Janet Maslin, New York Times: Cameron succeeds magically in linking his film's young lovers, played enchantingly by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Titanic runs well enough in the backstretch of intrigue and contrivance to cross the finish line well ahead of all but a few of the screen's superspectacles in this century. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: This version has deepened and enriched a film that was already rich in emotions and remarkable for its depth of detail. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Credit Cameron for locating that latitude-longitude spot where haunting loss intersects with sheer cinematic braggadocio. His movie may not be perfect, but visually and viscerally, it pretty well is. Read more
Maria Schneider, AV Club: Titanic provides an absorbing blend of historical fact and old-fashioned Hollywood tearjerking. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: 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. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: All things considered, Titanic is old-fashioned epic filmmaking that carries a wallop. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Cameron is a genius at instilling narrative dread and designing a hokum-drenched fairy tale of a certain size. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: Cameron has devised a tender love story between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio that serves as the main focus of Titanic's storyline, and it works beautifully. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: A lush and terrifying spectacle of romantic doom. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Titanic is awesome even when it's awful -- you can't take your eyes off the extraordinary thing. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Here is a rare opportunity to return to something you once loved, and discover it still holds up, no apologies necessary. Read more
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic: Bursting through gaps in the hull, rushing down corridors, licking at rooms, triumphing over great ballrooms and tiny closets, down stairways and into elevators, the sea, in the hands of Cameron and his technical associates, becomes hungry, vindictive. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: "Titanic" still amazes as the kind of massive, build-and-destroy production that few filmmakers have the ambition or budget to make. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Daily News: If computer-generated special effects have overpowered human-generated drama, Cameron seizes that dangerously cold technology and recasts it as dream and delirium, profoundly human in its sources and longings. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: 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. And it knows how to win us over. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: There's a lot to like here. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: James Cameron's spectacular new 3-D version of "Titanic'' is everything I'd hoped for, and more. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I found myself convinced by both the story and the saga. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: How is Titanic in 3D? The answer is pretty damn dazzling. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: The last hour of Titanic is huge and staggering, but there's no horror in it. Read more
Dana Stevens, Slate: Cameron's three-hour disaster epic is a triumph of popular art -- of folk art, really. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: Now it can be told: The Titanic went down because of two distracting smoochers on the poop deck. Read more
Joe Holleman, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Take one of history's most compelling tragedies, tell it through the lives of two engaging young lovers and show it with some of the best-ever special effects and you have a dazzling, exciting movie that is also poignant and personal. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Overall, for a blockbuster movie about one great big thing hitting another great big thing, the new film shows distinctly upper-deck restraint. Read more
Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Cost: well over $200m. Disregarding the ethics of such expenditure on a film, this unprecedented extravagance has not resulted in sophisticated or even very satisfying storytelling. Read more
Cath Clarke, Time Out: We know the story ends badly but Cameron still sweeps us up in the romance between Kate Winslet's rebellious posh girl and DiCaprio's steerage kid. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The letdown factor has been most keenly felt in conversions from 2D, but Titanic 3D shows how the ambition can be realized if the will and skill are there. We can only hope that other filmmakers follow Cameron's example. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Sure, it's corny, but there's something endearing about the tale of young love and its earnest lack of irony. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: A spectacular demonstration of what modern technology can contribute to dramatic storytelling. Read more
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: But the power of Titanic didn't come from originality; it came from punching cliches across with a seldom-seen directness and sincerity that seemed pure of heart, "old-fashioned," or plain corny, depending on your perspective. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: [Cameron] stages the sinking with a flawless sense of detail, pacing, import and dread. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Titanic is a good, often stunning movie caught in a three-and-a-half hour drift. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: This is Cameron at his best. Read more
