Every James Cameron Movie Ranked From Worst to Best
Рет қаралды 63,815
Жыл бұрынWhen it comes to directing crowd-pleasing, money-making blockbusters, James Cameron has truly honed things down to a science. Cameron is one of the highest-grossing filmmakers in history, despite directing a relatively small number of films over the decades. You can’t really argue with his track record, though.
Now that Avatar: The Way of Water has finally arrived in theaters, we’re taking a look back at all nine of Cameron’s movies (so far). Where do the Avatar movies fall on that list? Which is better - Aliens or Terminator 2? Let’s settle the debate once and for all.
Avatar: The Way of Water stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco and Jermaine Clement. The film is now in theaters.
