What was the last movie you watched? III
Zoe Saldana? Leonardo DiCaprio? Sigourney Weaver (Aliens)?In terms of being able to generate inspired performances from his actors, yes.

i think Titanic was spectacular: the acting, the cinematography, the script (well yeh a bit predictable as regards the romance part, but kate winslet made it worth it), the music... Avatar was lacking in all those things, i actually got bored after the second half of the movie

trouble with sam worthington is he doesnt act, he just says things naturalistically, and does his action sequences
Those are more the exception and not the rule. He's a fantastic director, but his films are full of bad/unconvincing acting.CrazyEight wrote:Zoe Saldana? Leonardo DiCaprio? Sigourney Weaver (Aliens)?In terms of being able to generate inspired performances from his actors, yes.

Despite some weird pacing and crazy tone changes, I thought this film was pretty amazing!
It was uplifting and the action was off the chain! To me, it was what Spider-man SHOULD have been...
