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.

Hey Max, he is such a real face palmer eh? it means when he tries to compare Jimmy Cammy (whom can be a mindless shallow director sometimes) to Hitchock you just wanna put your palm on your face.
If Cameron did the original complex screenplay on film as originally intended before studio meddling to dumb down the complex script for something simple and different, it would had been better for Project 880. Yet the movie wants to be epic, more like EPIC FAIL.

LMFAO
Talk about a facepalm comment.
Cameron would NEVER allow the studio to interfere with Avatar. What you're seeing is Cameron's definitive vision, through and through. If you don't like it, you're an artistic idiot and I pity you. If you really believe James Cameron would allow 20th Century Fox to tinker with his 250 million dollar epic (after making the studio billions with Titanic), I'm afraid you're just an idiot and I still feel sorry for you. -

Geez Luke who crapped in your dinner? calling me an artistic idiot! who do you think you are? treating others here on IMDB like s hit because when they talk crap of James Cameron whom i think is a total jerk of a director nowadays. Cameron is no more as now a days he is stuck to doing Avatard films than other stuff but i think he can pull off Battle Angel Alita since he is producer since he is a fan of the anime and so is Robert Rodriguez if Ghost in The Shell live-action is successful.
If you want a better version of Avatar, seek Princess Mononoke which is a true 90's adult animated classic with a great cast in the dub even Billy Bob Thorton, a better music score that is more cinematic yet memorable and more enjoyable no doubt for TRUE movie buffs that everyone should see in their life.
That attitude of yours isn't gonna get you friends here on IMDB of calling others "artistic idiots", you should learn not to act like a pretentious jerk with such insults to other folks and that ain't good to call others "artistic idiot".
Give me the classic Star Wars trilogy any day over Avatar and give me Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, Star Trek films, 2001, Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Moon, Terminators 1 & 2, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Excalibur, Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka, Conan the Barbarian, The Dark Crystal (much better than Labyrinth to me), Harry Potter, Princess Bride, Metropolis, Pan's Labyrinth, Serenity, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. over Avatar any day of the week when it comes to Sci-fi and fantasy films.
With that attitude of saying to Max and me "artistic idiots" and talking crap to him, it reminds me of some of those '90s comics trying to be so dark/edgy to look "grown up" make me think of what it was like to be a teen-ager. Every teen tries to do their imitation of how they think an adult should bewearing dark clothing, brooding, treating others like they're crap, posturing. Usually by the time you hit twenty you figure out that's not what being grown up is really about. If you don't, you're going to have miserable life when reality finally does hit you. And they are right, some did took the wrong lessons from Kevin Eastman's Ninja Turtles with Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, Alan Moore and Frank Miller graphic novels even Watchmen without understanding what made them successful comics in the 80s.
Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.- C.S. Lewis

Luke, you do know Fox originally passed on Avatar, right? They only agreed to do it after Cameron shopped it to Disney and Ingenious Media agreed to pay half the production budget. And even then, Cameron had to waive his own salary to make up for budget overruns (which is also what happened on Titanic).

Your pseudo-intellectualism is so tiresome Max. You have no idea what you're talking about because you've never actually made a film in your whole life. BRAVO. You can sit in the comfort of your home - probably in your mother's basement and act all high-and-mighty because you write reviews for a BLOG. OOOH!
