James Cameron Weighs In On Force Awakens
Despite being the highest grossing film in many aspects, not everyone is on the same page in terms of opinions on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. While some praise its new characters and “return” to what made Star Wars great, some people, both fans and critics alike, believe it was “too much” like the original film A New Hope. One such person in that group is legendary director James Cameron.
During a student interview, he noted what he felt about the film, all the while still praising director J.J. Abrams for what he did.
“George Lucas is a friend of mine and he and I were having a conversation about it the other day. I don’t want to say too much about the film, because I also have a lot of respect for J.J. Abrams”, Cameron began.
“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 had 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.”
