So true, the man has directed only a handful of films and each of them have been nothing but great and some of them revolutionary in terms of visual effects.
Terminator
Aliens
Abyss
T2
True Lies
Titanic and now AVATAR.

Out of all his movies, only Abyss  underperformed at the BO, but nevertheless it paved the way for the use of CGI in films. (the liquid pseudopod scene was brilliant).

Revolutianary of visual effects.. i think George Lucas are the founder... but of all the James movie... i like the Abyss most....

All this ho-ha hype..after seeing James "Avatar" sounded like stone age ppl seeing CGI for the first time.. so jakun..

C'mon wake up fella...its no longer a big deal with CGI nowaday... anything is possible in this century after the evolution of computer technologies... Thanks to George Lucas... the birth of special effects using computers which were scratch built, hand made model and background platform, the idea of using used future effects and all those idea of space ship, AT-AT walker.... all were all adapted from his idea and story, without him all just a dull movie.

The all time credit should be to George.... apparently most of the sc-fi film producer/creators were happened to evolved by George's Star Wars.

Talkin about big budget film of this century.. do not dare to compare with Star Wars... IMO in mankind history the biggest budget film ever made in human history is Star Wars and it was indeed the biggest achievement of film-making which open our mind to anything that beyond impossible is possible.

It will be a not big deal if Avatar will bag special effect award..its is nothing compare to what ILM had done with Star wars... so in conclusion AVATAR just a plain evolved CGI movie.. no big fuzz about it.

you do realise that star wars is an overhyped piece of crap, only reason its so famous is because it blew minds when it came out back in the stone age what with its old man with magic light stick :OOOOOOOOOOOOO and girl with weird hairstyle "ZOMG SO FOOTOOORISTIC!!!!! " and lets be honest eih, episode 1 2 and 3 were pure crapola.

and everyone knows that Avatar is basically pocahontas + dances with wolves + all the weaponry one can find in a vid game today, what makes it amazing is not the storyline, but the packaging, a run of the mill(but of course awesome) story presented in all the splendor CG has to offer, and lets not forget, probably the awesomemmest movie to be presented in 3D.

so yeah, appreciated it for what it is, not what it isnt. k.

Haha fren you better think again.. without Star Wars.. James Cameron will be still a truck driver.
And ILM was founded by LucasFilm,. Abyss, Terminator, Titanic semua using ILM... so if you call Star Wars a piece of crap, then without it, James Cameron a piece of dirt.

Better understand the history of it first before you guys brag about.. how good is Avatar.
