Really his last few projects he produced has bombed hard ! Atila (Although I quite liked it) flopped,The new terminator did not set the world on fire either.. I have the feeling Avatar 2 will not do as well as the first one, they took too long in between and during that time we had all the Marvel films that came out so there is nothing shiny and new about Avatar.
sharedidn't he produce some stupid & boring diving or treasure-hunting crap between Titanic and Avatar?
when he helms actual scripted films he blows everybody else out of the water,
simply producing films.... his track record is spotty, but don't count the old man out just yet
What I find stupid is, he's gonna take a trillion years to finish his damned Avatar sequels, and then wake up to find the world has changed in the long interval between his first movie and the sequels. He's gonna find he was away too long, and now has to pay for it in some way or another.
shareHe should've done a movie about the challenger deep instead since he personally went down there.
shareThere's a difference between producing and directing. When he directs his movies are mega hits.
shareNot irrelevant, but his days of making classics is over, in the same way I believe it's over for Spielberg.
shareHe waited FAR too long. It'd be 12, 13 years since the first one. That's worse than Jurassic World but at least that film had a built-in nostalgia far stronger than the original Avatar-a film I liked but cannot see the franchise potential tbh.
shareIt has been too long and I was not impressed by Alita, though I enjoyed Terminator: Dark Fate more than most seem to have.
But at the end of the day I cannot think of anything since Avatar that was as strongly imagined and, dare I say it, original in the way it was made. I've enjoyed the Marvel films, also Valerian and ... , even some of the DC universe films.
But I see Avatar was something a bit different and I'm hoping it will restart as well as it ended - fingers crossed.
Other than "Titanic", which was relevant to making a shitload of money, when was he ever artistically relevant?
