What other films has he made, out of curiosity? This is the first I've heard of his name.

  Ugh. Not the sort of person I'd expect to suddenly turn around and release a good movie. This story re: the graphics was interesting, though. I might give Avatar a shot.

    > Not the sort of person I'd expect to suddenly turn around and release a good movie. Well, you shouldn't dismiss his movies just because some of them fall into the action/horror category. In fact, you might want to consider watching them.

      I've seen a few of the movies on that list. Titanic in particular stands out as a non-action/horror film on the list that was resoundingly mediocre.

        The thing about a film like Titanic (and most other films in the epic genre) is you know the ending: the boat sinks, almost everybody dies. 'Personal heroism overwhelmed by unfortunate circumstances' is a pathetic narrative, in the most literal sense of the word pathetic: pathos is a literary device of reflecting a characters problems in their environment, eg it starts raining to show someone is sad. Normally this is terminally cheesy, but when its set in the context of a real event it's rather different. Films like this are not meant to leave you feeling satisfied. You're welcome to email me if you want to vent on what you disliked about it. I work in film/TV so I'm quite interested in people's point of view.

Well, why didn't you comment on the movies themselves then, instead of saying something that made it look like you were only making guesses as to the nature of James Cameron as a director based on seeing a list of movies he's made? :p Yep, Titanic was what it was, but as such, not a particularly poor performance either. Terminator 2, on the other hand, is one of the most epic movies ever made. You should have seen it in a movie theater when you were 14 years old.
