Star Wars rip offs (err ... "borrows") liberally from sources too, the first movie is a direct take on Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress and many other obvious archetypes.
Cameron's strength is not being original, it's pure, sheer, execution. Anyone can come up with an idea, and there were many other films about Titanic for example before.
Doesn't meant shit if you can't execute and engage the audience, and that's where he is far and away beyond a lot of filmmakers.
