Search: Directed by James Cameron

The tension is never loosened, the action seldom rests and the dialogue sounds as sharp and convincing as the actors who speak it.

To think that Ridley Scott provoked so much tension and dread from just one is strange. When they are all over you, it makes for a superior sequel.

The sheer unexplained terror of the Aliens is more than enough to make them watchable.

There is much in Avatar that is broadly drawn, clichéd even – but it is also these very things which might just earn it the status of a classic.

Where the story stumbles, the film is carried forward by action.

Ponderous but glorious.

Although the script is weak throughout and the acting of dubious quality, the heroine's no-nonsense approach is refreshing in a film of this type and, in its time, was really quite daring.

James Cameron's masterpiece. A lean, brooding, violent and unforgettable experience from a director hungry for success.

Terminator 2 is a wonderful sequel, dramatically satisfying and a fine entertainment.

What raises Cameron's creation above costumed action spectacle is the quality of the writing and the chemistry of its juve leads.

True Lies might not be what many expect from James Cameron (given that it’s not thought-provoking or full of copious amounts of water) but it’s undoubtedly entertaining.
