James Cameron on "Avatar 2" and "Cleopatra"

3D the sh*t out em James. While your at it, begin prepping for your funeral to be in 3D as well.

how do you go from aliens, terminator 2 and true lies to f*cking blue things and there f*ck nugget sequels Avater is the one and only time in my life that i've fell asleep in a cinema

to believe this man here gave us terminator.... come one cameron do that comic or manga adaption battle angel or what was it called *checks* yeh its called battle angel give us that!

Cleopatra starring a rail thin, Jolie doing her usual "Transylvania" accent.

Remember how she pretty much RUINED Alexander? Think of watching that same character for over 2 hours.

FAIL

Jame Camero + Sony Pictures = EPIC S**T FAIL!

Alexander? Kingdom of Heaven? King Arthur? ANYONE?

let me just say 3D is only worth money when no glasses of any kind are involved to see the third dimension...till then, f*ck 3D!!

If I were him I would spend the rest of my life f*cking models

@leemaca - how do you go from aliens, terminator 2 and true lies to f*cking blue things and there f*ck nugget sequels Avater is the one and only time in my life that i've fell asleep in a cinema

truer words were never spoken.. Unfortunately I didnt have the pleasure of sleep during that piece smurf sh*t

Avatar is still the best movie I saw at the cinema this past year, and I saw nearly every film that came out.
Bashing Avatar is like bashing the Beatles. Sure, it makes you sound witty in front of your friends, but secretly everyone knows you're full of sh*t.

I do hope he hasn't forgotten about Battle Angel Alita though. He should stick with 3D fantasy films for a while.

Yes most of us on here are bashing "Avatar" but for good reason...

1- The storyline for the movie was something that had been done before and better.

2- Eventhough 3D did work for this movie, as it was ment to be seen in 3D, but because of the money it made every studio then decided to bring every movie out with 3D.

ie: Clash of the Titans, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3D, Reident Evil:Afterlife3D, Shrek:The Final Chapter3D, How To Train Your Dragon...well you see where I'm going with this.

No,no, no this COULD be good! If Cameron didnt write the script, and they really plan to make a different Cleopatra movie (more truthful), and not the Hollywood glam sh*t they did before, it could be great. Jolie is a decent actress when in a hands of a good director, so i hope it happens, and he takes on the job!

None of that takes away from it being a great film. Sure the plot wasn't the most original thing, but everything is a rehash these days. Just because Batman Begins is almsot the Same as Iron Man doesn't make it any less watchable.
And honestly as much as people rip on Avatar for being unoriginal, i can't think of any other ecological tribal space opera films made.
And James Cameron didn't start the 3D craze, he's just the only director so far who was prepared for it.

@rabid

I hated the movie.the story was cheesy.

@rabid Exactly! You can find similarities to previous movies in plenty of movies, even critically acclaimed ones. For instance Christopher/John Nolan's "original masterpiece" Memento is basically just a serious rip-off of the 1994 comedy Clean Slate! (But played out in reverse.) Avatar is a great movie with the best 3D and CGI. (And that's a fact, not just opinion, so anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong. I'm a huge Star Wars fan but even I admit that Avatar bests Star Wars in the CGI department at least technically, although the Star Wars movies' effects have wider artistic scope in my opinion and are better movies in general.)

@rabid

Yes you are right most things these days are a re-hash, and nor can I at this moment think of any space eco movies.

But as I pointed out "Avatar" was filmed to be shown in 3D, which I have no problem with if the movie is ment to be seen that way ok, what I and most people were/are pissed about is because of the money it made Major Film Studios just saw the dollar elemant and completely disregarded the fact that "Avatar" is an experience but on a different level.

So all I can say is that most people are pissed at "Avatar" because it re-hashed a story that has been done better and with more emotion elsewhere and that it has made 3D virtually mandatory for every movie coming out.
