Yeah, that's very much the case. I think I just got a little optimisitc that Cameron, who could have chosen to take some risks with his status, chose to play it safe himself.
I'd just watched Where The Wild Things Are a few days before and was amazed at the balls of Spike Jonez to take the amount of money he was given for this film and make a risky, meditative film that completely bucked the trend of what you'd be expected to do with that amount of money for a kids film.
At least Avatar wasn't bad, apart from a few cheesy lines. Although derivitive the story was consistent and competently told, I just wanted more than a lot of familiar beats. Maybe next time we visit Pandora Cameron will take a few risks.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
