I love Cameron, but would prefer him to work on other projects. Hes not getting any younger and this is going to take up so much of his time.
I wouldnt bet against him though, im sure these films will be big hits. But its weird, i feel like no one was asking for sequels were they? Is Disney throwing him a bunch of money because they feel like they have to justify their investment in 'Avatar World' at Animal Kingdom?? |

And I realized I had seen it as well while I was watching it. Avatar was ****ing Fern Gully set in space. |

Also, he's already announced a new Terminator trilogy starring Linda Hamilton and Arnold. Quote:

The sequels will have underwater sequences, which should be a treat for the eyes. What I didn't realize, and this was completely and totally unnecessary to the film, is that there is an exorbitant amount of swearing and it doesn't further the film at all. I didn't realize it until I tried to show my oldest the film and thought "Whoa, I don't remember this at all". Hopefully, they tone that down in the sequels. |
I saw it in 3D at a regular theater and was so blown away by the special effects that I saw it in 3D at IMAX also. For that point in time, the visual were pretty amazing.
Yea, the plot was meh. The funny thing is that he had to fight to get this plot. From my vague recollections of an interview he did on Charley Rose: the studio was afraid it was too pro-environment/anti-colonists and they wanted to change it to make the military the good guys and turn it into a patriotic, rah-rah film. If he really manages to push the envelope again on movie technology, I could be enticed to see it. But I doubt it happens. Sequels usually have worse plots and the original already set a really low bar. |
Wish they would have made a True Lies 2.

also as far as sequels go, I agree that they are usually just cash grab crap BUT with James Cameron directing the sequels, I am fully confident he'll deliver the goods. He is the master at making sequels (Terminator 2 was fantastic . Ditto on Aliens as well) . |

Of course, the amount of money it will make is the "why", even if it's also not a good movie. But the first one was so thin it almost wasn't even a movie. I wonder if even the viewers who want to see films in 3D are accustomed to 3D now. Would Avatar today be even a blip? Sure, I'm sure they will find a way to add some additional cool visuals, but the first one was probably the most disappointing film I can remember seeing since The Phantom Menace. I can't imagine going to a theater for a sequel. |

Don't know why he would self-finance given his deal on the last one. |
Quote:
Last I heard, Fox was pitching in around $300 million with Cameron to finance the rest. I don't know if that's still the case since he's now doing 4 sequels instead of 2. I still don't know how they're going to get around the Stephen Lang thing, since you know, he was killed in the original but is supposedly still the baddie in the sequels. |

Personally, I hope to see all of them in IMAX 3D. |
