This guy is getting to be more and more like John Carpenter, in that publicly he rips most current films as junk, bemoaning that there's nothing original anymore... yet shamelessly continues whipping a dead horse; in Cameron's case, endless (and totally pointless/unneeded) TERMINATOR sequels ...in a thin attempt to remain relevant and milk something until it's more or less nothing but an 'in name only' product, completely staining the poignancy and glory of the original(s).
AVATAR wasn't even that good of a movie, honestly. It was a blatant rip-off of DANCES WITH WOLVES (and even FERNGULLY: THE LAST RAINFOREST!). Only the at-the-time novelty of new 3D technology made it 'cool' and a must-see. 3D itself has, IMHO, long since worn out its welcome; now pretty much nothing but a lame marketing gimmick used by greedy studios in order to milk a little extra $$$ with slapdash converted editions of 2D-filmed flicks.
