James Cameron's AVATAR discussion thread

Cameron has transcended this phenomenon. His last 2 movies are atop the highest grossing of all-time and raked in tons of awards... but they're nowhere near his best work. Just his most popular. Because people, as a whole, are proles.

Personally, I think this might ruin him. He's going to be stuck in pseudo Cameron-Disney mode from here on out. The last movie he made that was pure, honest, and fun... was TRUE LIES. That was nearly 16 years ago.

The James Cameron that made ALIENS, the first two TERMINATOR movies and THE ABYSS is likely dead, replaced by a narcissistic Hollywood money maestro who makes films for the family-friendly mainstream first.

Yeah ....... so?

It's hilarious how this thread has evolved:

- People excited about a few concept images
- People underwhelmed with the teaser
- People excited with Sideshow's AMP suit
- People underwhelmed with the official trailer
- People excited with Avatar Day trailer

Movier comes out:

- Everybody saying it's a cinematic masterpiece that will revolutionize cinema
- A few people saying it's average
- A lot of people saying it's unoriginal
- People claiming repeat viewings
- People complaining about "Avatards"
- People complaining about "Haters"
- It's a Pocahontas rip-off
- It's not as good
- It's an amazing achievement
- "Wow, check this forum with Avatar weirdos"
- 'Those guys are crazy"
- Avatar is racist
- Liking Avatar is not cool anymore...
- Cameron is a d-ck
- Cameron is a sell-out

True. So points to those of us who have been able to remain rational throughout.

It's just a movie...
A great one though IMO...

Its just becuase it popular that so much attention is drawn to it. People said negative things toward every popular movie and praised every popular movie didnt really stop those movies.

Not really... the structure of your posts is very confusing. Take few moments and try to make sure your post is at least clear.

which I think is likely. I personally can see this having a huge fan base. Dare I say Camerons biggest at the end of it all ?.
How many women watch Aliens and terminator ?.

ME!!!!!!!

 

[galactiboy]

ME!!!!!!!

My lady likes them as well... while not as big a fan as me, I know she really does enjoy them.

She actually wasn't that into Avatar; don't think she had any major issues with it. Just not as keen on it as other scifi.

It appears that more 'normal' people - by normal I mean majority of the population - love the movie more than hardcore sci-fi fans do (including us women who like Terminator and Aliens more). It's like "sci-fi lite". It's interesting.

Kind of how like housewives and non-goth girls seem to love the dumbed down Vampire stories of Twilight

Although I still really liked this movie and consider myself a pretty hardcore Scifi fan... to prove it; I thought the Transformers movie sucked ass
