of course i meant cameron circa aliens and the terminator movies. after that its all downhill. but i believe he has the vision still.
its really sad there arent that many good sci-fi directors around. most are 40 something man-childs who feel technology can compensate for a shit plot
spielberg even took classic material(war of the worlds) and mauled it
look at kubrick, made one sci-fi movie and hit the bulls-eye with it
im not looking to defend star wars, i cant
i know as movies they have numerous shortcomings,i just found them entertaining
and i personally feel the same applies for indiana jones movies too
enormously entertaining ,but a masterpiece, no friggin way
i might get a bit of hatin for it, but does anyone else here feel that blade runner is waaaay overrated?just something i feel

Yeah it's fairly overrated. Alien, on the other hand, is not. Great, great film.

No, Raiders isn't a masterpiece, just a fantastic piece of filmmaking (I might say Jaws is a masterpiece though. Best film he ever made. But I'm not a huge Spielberg fan either, actually).

And I know you meant circa the good stuff with Cameron, I'd just hope he still has it in him is all. I guess we'll see what Avatar is like.

There are some good sci-fi directors out there, but yeah it's few and far between. I think Serenity is a damn fine movie and Joss Whedon a pretty good director, but I don't know if he'd be right for Metroid. In actuality, despite what I just said, Spielberg might be a good choice to direct it. I think he could do that tone.
