FromTitanicandThe Terminatorto theAvatarfranchise,Cameron has broken recordsand made history with his epic movies.
However, despite his box office gains, Cameron’s movies aren’t completely devoid of criticism.
In fact, there is one part of Cameron’s movies that is consistently critiqued.
InAvatar,Jake Sully is an admirable character, but speaks like a cliched action hero.
His dialogue doesn’t seem realistic, but instead, sounds like he is a character in a movie.
In some ways, Cameron has a point.
For the most part, Cameron works onepic action movies.
Typically, action films focus heavily on good vs evil and the hero saving the day.
Terminator is not necessarily supposed to be a flawed or dynamic being.
Instead, he is a villain, through and through.
Therefore, his dialogue doesn’t need to be any more complex than that.
Additionally,Cameron’s dialogue may make his movies betterin some ways.

Cameron’s dialogue may actually add to the nostalgic atmosphere of his movies.
Cameron is best known for his visual prowess.
The biggest draw toAvatarwas and continues to be its CGI.
It will likely continue to be this way as Cameron releases hisupcomingAvatarmoviesand beyond.
Of course, dialogue is still a pivotal part of any movie.
Dialogue can truly make or break a project, especially if other parts of the film are also lacking.
It doesn’t need to be his top priority.
