>James Cameron has said that JJ Abrams’s reboot lacked the “innovative visual imagination” of the original films. Asked for his opinion, the director, a close friend of Star Wars creator George Lucas, echoed the thoughts of many who felt that Abrams had not added anything new to the franchise.
>“I don’t want to say too much about the film cos I also have a lot of respect for JJ Abrams, and I want to see where they’re taking it next, to see what they’re doing with it,” he said.
>“I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination, and this film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before and characters you had seen before, and it took a few baby steps forward with new characters. So for me the jury’s out, I wanna see where they go with it.”
criticism from James Cameron is definitely a HOWEVER that will burst your bubble
Owen Myers
He is right, even though the prequels had terrible scripts, they were still atleast memorable.
Episode 1 for example had awesome visuals for the time, god-tier soundtrack and really cool scenes like pod racing and the Darth Maul fight.
Force awakens on the other hand is just incredibly dry and generic
Easton Brooks
Will this make people realize the unrecognized splendor of the prequels?
Asher Martin
is HOWEVER the new JUST?
Jace Walker
They still had some of the most awful dialogues
and Anakin/Padme romance makes Twilight look almost as a movie..
Robert Sanders
>George’s group of six films >SIX FILMS Yeah he's definitely defending prequels specifically.
Julian Watson
I wish James would make more mysterious comfy Sci-fi like The Abyss.
Benjamin Lewis
Not sure I care to hear the opinions of the man who endorsed Terminator Genisys.
Cooper Lewis
This.
Ethan Turner
Please, James, tell me again how great Terminator Genesys is.
Henry Rodriguez
...
Jayden Howard
I wonder who thought that casting plump and soft Emilia Clarke as a badass terminator fighter Sarah Connor was a good idea..
Juan Morris
I already said this back when it came out.
TFA played it incredibly safe, stuck with the formula of the first movie so hard it nearly ended up being the same thing, and gave audiences exactly what they wanted after the prequels. Star Wars IV again. They didn't want a new story they didn't want it to take chances.
It did nothing innovative and was entirely stuck in the past because people wanted the past.

Avatar was a dumb movie, but a fun movie. That mechs vs ayys final battle was hype as fuck.
Austin Allen
I told you fuckfaces week after release it was the most soulless unimaginative movie of the decade. Yet you fuckers kept sucking Disney shills cocks. Retard Sup Forums.
Cooper Phillips
Wow, you must be so smart.
Connor Allen
Killa Cam can only think in terms of visuals and technology. Things like story are an afterthought.
Juan Lee
(You) have autism.
Angel Davis
Smarter than shit eaters like you atleast. Which unfortunately doesn't say much though.
Aiden Reed
That's funny. Doesn't really apply to reality once we look at the movie's female protag (Lucas never imagined that), the innovative traitor Finn subplot, or the fact that Abrams was being TONGUE IN CHEEK about the 'war' plot.. but it's a cute idea to talk about.
