James Cameron is brilliant with scriptwriting, originality, actors, and special effects. That is why his films are so good. You can't just concentrate on one aspect of a film and ignore the rest and expect the film to be good. Like Michael Bay who just concentrates on special effects in favour of acting and scriptwriting. His films have absolutely no soul or depth, they are just lots of noise. James Cameron is one of the few director's who can a big moneymaker but also make it a piece of art.

Bay has his moments...I don't watch him for anything 'heavy' or thougthful...but he knows how to blow stuff up well...and sometimes he really strikes gold in some scenes.

[@SnarfBanks]

Michael Bay isn't a filmmaker, he's a special effects wizard.

@MythicDude he seems to be a bit bitter and of course he is arrogant. I love that about him. thanks for your comment!

@arherrington If you watch the video of that panel Peter Jackson, and Cameron were on at ComicCon 2009, you get to see a part where Cameron basically calls Bay a sellout. If they teamed up together, I think it would end very, very badly

[@eekum]

@mindstormsabrewin I agree with you on every point with every movie that he has made. Except for Avatar. That movie seemed completely about the effects with a very tested story slapped on with political message. T2 and Aliens were godly though.

[@togio100]

@Crichjo32 Well said, sir/madam, well said. The hater can say what they want about Avatar, but it's light years above anything that Bay has turned out.

@kiekelly Michael Who?

[@togio100]

@SnarfBanks He's not even that. He's a douchebag tool of the studio who just happens to know a lot of sfx wizards. Cameron is a genius because he can blend sfx with a great human story. Even when he's made cold films like True Lies, those are head, shoulder,s and ankles above half the stuff his contemporaries put out.

a Proper Filmaker.......... forget Miceal Bay
