It took that long to get the technology he wanted and made like a bazillion $ and he announces a sequel, then it's trilogy, no wait it's going to be 4 movies now, but yet it takes 9 more years to do it, wth

I'd rather he just left Terminator alone and the story ended with part 2 as this franchise has been nothing but a wounded half dead animal for the last 25 years and the only good thing about Terminator since T2 is the Universal attraction. Nothing else good came out, plus the last movie was a flop and sometimes it's better to kill something than let it suffer.

"sloppy writing"
There is absolutely nothing sloppy about the writing in this movie.
And I've gotta say, I always get a laugh when people who can barely articulate their own criticisms, swing by these boards and deposit this accusation, ad nauseum. It has no validity. -

I agree. With Titanic being a close second.
His characters are always so bland and forgettable. The problem with Avatar is he hired Sam "Wooden the Woodpecker" Worthington as his leading man. With Titanic at least he had the huge charisma of DiCaprio to make the movie more interesting.
Boring heroes, cliched mustache-twirling villains, and a recycled plot. It just isn't in the same league as Terminator, T2, or Aliens. Those were actual SCIENCE fiction films that made you think and ask questions. Avatar is just a Michael Bay movie; explosions and screaming and extreme predictability. Literally the only thing noteworthy about this movie is the really good CGI. -

His characters are always so bland and forgettable
I'd say the polar opposite. I'd even go so far as to claim that the main reason why his movies tend to have much better legs at the BO than all other action/sci-fi movies is due to the characters being interesting/memorable.
Bay/Emmerich etc can may action sequences that look awesome but they aren't able to make us care for the characters. Cameron is (or at least was).
For example:
Terminator, Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese, T-1000 in The Terminator 1&2
Ellen Ripley, Hudson, Hicks, Vasquez, and the alien queen in Aliens
Tom Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies
Leo and Kate in Titanic
Bud and Lindsay Brigman in The Abyss
Personally I didn't find any of the characters in Avatar memorable but the regular audiences sure loved the movie -

How do you explain Kim Basinger in My Stepmother is an Alien, Svek from Star Trek II, Lee the playboy model bounty hunter from Critters 2, Sil from Species, Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy etc.?
She is a lovely cat-lady i will hand you to that who reminds me of my boyhood cat ladies like Lily on that live-action Dumbo's Circus show, Cleo on Heathcliff, mutated Selina Kyle from that Batman TAS Tyger Tyger episode (remember the one where she got turned into a literal cat-woman?), Felicia from Darkstalkers games, M'ress from Star Trek, That 3 breasted feline alien babe from Star Trek V, Cheetara, Pumarya etc.

Gamora, played by the same actress BTW came AFTER Avatar. And I'm talking about her body, her eyes, everything about Neytiri is alien, especially compared to Vulcans, Klingons, Kim Basinger in My Stepmother is an Alien. And she's still fcking hot.

What about that 3 titted feline M'ress-esque alien dancer from Star Trek V? remember her? one of the good things about that movie, she was a hottie no doubt and i wouldn't mind interspecies romancing with her, nothing wrong with that i mean hey you have Beast/Carly on X-Men TAS, Star Trek humans/aliens, Vastra and Jenny on Doctor Who, Catherine/Vincent in the Ron Perlman Beauty and the Beast show, Star Wars humans and aliens even aliens with different races/species of Alien beings in love, Lilandra and Xavier, Cheetah/Batman on Justice League, Howard The Duck/Beverly in Marvel comics's Howard The Duck comics, Hepzbiah and Corsair in Marvel comics/X-Men etc. as examples of interspecies love. Yet i wonder if Jake and Neytiri count as interspecies love? a human man and an alien.

But do you not mind interspecies romance of two different beings like the ones i mentioned especially Star Wars/Trek alien species/races of Beings with other species/races of alien beings even to humans, Beast/Carly, Hepzbiah and Corsair, Howard/Beverly from Marvel's Howard comics, Catherine and Vincent in the Ron Perlman Beauty and the Beast show, Lilandra and Xavier (mutant man and alien bird woman who's race evolved from alien birds), Alan and Madison from Splash, Cheetah/Batman on Justice League etc.?

I've never seen Piranha 2 and have probably not seen every single movie that he's made but I am inclined to agree. This is really bad. The Special effects are not good, the story is rather clich and boring, and it's just cheesy movie. The acting is cheesy, the story is cheesy,, and so is the dialogue.

Um, no. Cameron's writing is just becoming second to his unstoppable, phenomenal skills with optics and visual storytelling. It's still good. We just have to learn to adapt to Cameron's visual equity just as people eventually learned to adapt to Hitchcock's skills with a camera.

Comparing Cameron to Hitchcock is blasphemy! this movie is all style and no substance. The writing was poor and Cameron is a poor writer now, i mean his T2/T1 and Aliens and True Lies were well written.
James Cameron (1984 to 1994) was James Cameron, now he is Jimmy Cammy like Ocpcommunications and Ramboraph4life says and i agree with that.

I bet anything you haven't even seen ONE Hitchcock film to completion. People like you are pretension pseudo-intellectuals with nothing to do but bitch about things you don't understand and a lot of people really don't understand Avatar these days.
