James Cameron Says 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Lacks 'Visual Imagination': Watch
James Cameron is one of the biggest film directors of our time (The Terminator, Titanic, Avatar), but he also knows how to brilliantly cast subtle shade! In a YouTube interview with reporter Hannah Litchfield, Cameron candidly reveals his thoughts on J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The director tries to maintain his neutrality, but it's clear that he isn't the biggest fan of the film:
“George Lucas is a friend of mine, and he and I were having a good conversation the other day about it. I don’t want to say too much about the film…I also have a lot of respect for J.J. Abrams, and I want to see where they’re taking it next and see what they're doing with it. I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination. This film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before and characters you have seen before, and it took a few baby steps forward with new characters. So for me, the jury’s out. I want to see where they go with it.”
