 Steven Spielberg/James Cameron - SpielbergFilms.com Forum
Cameron is certainly a talented artist in his own right, and one of the better directors of today, but I don't think he brings that X-factor "virtuoso touch" that Spielberg does.
Cameron set up the action style of the last 20 years (though it's been so exploited that it has lost nowadays all the essence...), but it has shown a lack of evolution, unlike Spielberg (maybe because of the late inactivity of the canadian director).
James Cameron's cinema is not the one who stupefies crowds, but the cult of individualism.

The Lowdown: James Cameron's Dark Angel is Buffy the Vampire Slayer with all the humor and fun removed.
In the case of James Cameron's Dark Angel, however, the crappiness of the game is roughly equivalent to the six-months-dead and not-much-missed series upon which it's based.
In fact, the only reason to watch the brainchild of writer / director Cameron -- who hasn't written or directed a film since 1997's jillion-dollar-grossing Titanic -- during its blessedly brief two-year run was to drool over the taut young body of actress Jessica Alba, whose exotic-jailbait countenance floated many a male viewer's boat.
