James Cameron one of the best directors in the industry today, because he doesn’t compromise his artistic vision for any studio, he makes the movies he wants to make and the end result are amazing movies, Avatar and Avatar The Way of Water, Aliens are prime examples of this 👏👏👏👏

I could hear James Cameron speak about his films for two hours. A modern day creative genius who writes, directs, draws and produces.

Mr. Cameron seems to be a very smart and yet down to Earth guy. Awesome, he's also getting so much success.

Before Titanic came out, people said it was going to sink.
Before Avatar came out, people said it was just a cartoon.
Before The Way of Water came out, people said no one was interested.
And now.... "Say My Name." - James Cameron.

I have never seen a movie like this getting the best response ever in a country like India, all screens in the entire country were forced by the people to show this incredible masterpiece, the people of India connected to this unbelievably so much so that the entire film industry in India is confused where they were lacking, they suddenly realised an educated India has been punishing their stupid movies since 2 years, people of India are now wiser and more educated thanks to the smartphone revolution and access to reality of our planet 👍❤️❤️

The best part of Avatar, both movies, is that storywise, Cameron doesn't overdo anything. At it's heart, it's very straightforward storytelling and not convoluted at all. I think a lot of filmmakers try to overdo the storytelling and they lose themselves along the way. The technology used could be said as over the top but it never stands out over the story being weaved. The movie connects with a wide range of viewers as well. It's a movie all ages can go and enjoy.

I think, at it’s core… it’s a story about a father and mother who equally protect their children. It shows the strength of men and women equally. It isn’t politicizing anything (other than save the environment, but that’s not political). It’s just a fun, action/adventure escapism film. That’s what people want.

Jim Cameron is the greatest director ever lived... End of story..

[joshimura]

Its funny as hell how people (especially some salty Marvel fans ) say this movie is a cgi fest and has no story, when it wipes the floor with literally 90% of all MCU movies in every department of filmmaking.

*Saw Avatar The Way of Water in one of the biggest IMAX theatres in the US in 3D. Was absolutely INCREDIBLE to watch and I have never seen such a beautiful movie technologically speaking. Music was also amazing and really made you feel like you were following along for the ride. Pacing was a little off at times but this is certainly meant to be apart of a much larger franchise.*

I can’t wait to see Avatar 2. The first one was a beautiful work of art.

[henryivan]

James Cameron. I'm glad he exists and I get to see his work

[babyyoda]

This guy is a genius, if only the rest of Hollywood could keep up

[deenulazarus]

In the third act... "Son for a son" is uttered twice.... The contrast hit home for me...

[DavidOakesMusic]

I absolutely want to see all 5. By the time 5 comes out it will be 20 years since the first movie - if all goes to plan.

Cameron is a story telling master, for sure. I did find it interesting though that the acting, on the faces of the actors, is much more compelling than on the avatars. But then again, my observation is coming from a human.

James wasn't joking when he said "I'm the king of the world".. that aged well😂

[tsenam]

Avatar sequels r set to rule the cinemas n the box office for decades👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
