Well, i perfer James Cameron becuase he made 3D this big, also he has great movies, new ideas such as Terminator, Avatar and sequel to Alien. Also, Titanic is best documental movie ever made. True Lies is big action movie. My favorite movies are Terminator 1 and 2, so i pick James Cameron.

Well, Nolan made also some great movies like The Prestige and Dark Knight but those were like too long and no action. The only movie i liked is Inception, it´s big. Man of Steel is **** up. Soulless movie, Superman has no soul, looks like none of them do. What Nolan dosent seem to have but James has is love in movie.

James Cameron movies in future:

1. Avatar 2 - A sequel to the 2009 global phenomenon. Some where in oceans of Pandora(underwater), new discovery of a new world.

Anyway, I can't say. They've both got big, distinguished careers, even if I immensely dislike Avatar.

James Cameron for me since the Terminator franchise is one of my all time favorites. Including Terminator films he didn't work on. He created an awesome world that I can't get tired of.

Aliens 5/10Master_Live

I don't need to re watch anything, aside from the spectacular special effects that was a dumb movie. The little girl that only serves as bait, predictable "group of people go some place, few, if any, will leave" plot. And don't get me started on how incompetent and inept the "Marines" behave. And that is that.

Cameron made some stand-out movies that really shaped the way we do action films today.  Nolan pushed the envelope as far as comic book adaptations and action movies are concerned.  Overall I'd have to give my vote to Nolan, but Cameron was there with some of those influential titles.

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="xdude85"]Cameron is a sell-outxdude85

Nolan because most of Cameron's movies are mediocre at best.

Neither. I find them both flawed.

Cameron is ok, but I think Nolan is a much better director and writer.

Memento, The Prestige, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception wipe the floor with Aliens, The Terminator, Avatar and Titanic.

Cameron made Avatar and Titanic, so him.

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"]... Cameron did mostly garbage tbhJustBeYourself

The Abyss is hands down Cameron's finest movie. It's a shame it is usually not that talked about.

T2 alone shits on everything Nolan has ever done. mems_1224

No

Cameron, because of the films he's made in the past.

Tough call. Nolan is definitely the better writer and is also better at directing actors to great performances. But I have to go with Cameron.

As far as action directing goes, nobody touches James Cameron IMO. The sinking of the Titanic might be the single greatest "action" sequence in movie history. While the story is cliche and corny, I was blown away last year when I re-watched Titanic in theatres. It seemed like a movie from another planet. A bygone era, when filmmaking was actually a craft.

Today, action movies are all shot the same, either shaky cam, or its all about placing a thousand cameras and shooting a scene from all angles and finding the best stuff to use in editing, also CGI. It's just incoherent. While I think Nolan's films are excellent, the action suffers from these shortcomings. I don't even think its the director's fault, it is simply the new status quo. DPs that started on music videos and moved on to movies. 

But you go back and watch the way Cameron shot action sequences, you can see there's so much going on in terms of planning and staging, and how they meticulously planned and prepered every single shot. Everything was shot perfectly, and everything made visual sense. It was a craft. Even if the movie had a cheesy story and two-dimensional characters, his direction and craftmanship was enough to elevate those movies to another level.

Also agree on T2 being better than anything Nolan has done. At least as an action movie, nothing tops T2 imo. I'd even pick it over Die Hard.
