Aliens and The Terminator are by far James Cameron’s best films. Those two are amazing in general and yes definitely better than all but the best Star Wars movies, especially Aliens. Terminator II is excellent as well. Titanic is still good but Avatar is just a tedious and boring Dances With Wolves/Pocahontas rip-off. Seriously one of the worst films I’ve ever seen in theaters. The only reason back then to go see it, and most definitely why it’s box-office is so huge, was the 3D novelty. The sequel if it ever happens won’t get anywhere near it and I wouldn’t bet on it getting to half of the original’s take. In fact I assume it will be a worse drop-off than The Last Jedi was to The Force Awakens. Also, multiple Star Wars films, adjusted for inflation, wipe the floor with Avatar, and the 1977 Star Wars also handily beats Titanic.
But anyway.
Yeah Solo flopped big time it seems, not even going to reach 400m, and less than half of what I expected. Sad that it’s affected by backlash because it’s actually a pretty decent movie. Strange though, the numbers aren’t good, for all to see, but when I went yesterday evening the theater was still almost sold out. And it’s not like it’s shown only once a week. Maybe it’s coincidence or it actually does well enough here in Holland.
