Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
It is flawlessly crafted, intelligently constructed, strongly acted and spellbinding.

Titanic floods you with elemental passion in a way that invites comparison with the original movie spectacles of D.W. Griffith.

His (Cameron) movie may not be perfect, but visually and viscerally, it pretty well is.

It leaves the port of enterprise and arrives on the far shore of art.

You don't just watch Titanic, you experience it.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
A film that sweeps us away into a world of spectacle, beauty and excitement, a realm of fantasy unimaginable without the movies.

Baltimore Sun Ann Hornaday
The title represents size and power, speed and hubris -- the very things the ship has come to stand for and the things that Cameron has restored to the cinema with grand, generous style.

Boston Globe Jay Carr
Titanic is a big-budget spectacle and director Cameron brings it off with high-tech bravura, placing us aboard the ship in real time.

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
The first half drags a bit, but the adventure scenes are exciting and the visual effects are as dazzling as Hollywood's most advanced technology can make them. Focusing as much on time and memory as on danger and disaster, it's an epic with a heart.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
The last hour of Titanic is huge and staggering, but there's no horror in it. No gravity, either. Entrusted with one of the century's monumental stories, Cameron can present it only as a crying shame. And that's a crying shame.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
What audiences end up with word-wise is a hackneyed, completely derivative copy of old Hollywood romances, a movie that reeks of phoniness and lacks even minimal originality.
