James Cameron Tells Off Critics Who Claim His Scripts Are Cringe: ‘Let Me See Your Highest-Grossing Films — Then We’ll Talk About Dialogue Effectiveness’


James Cameron says moviegoers who think the dialogue in his movies is cringe should remember he has three of the four highest-grossing movies.

James Cameron joined Empire magazine for a discussion about the 40th anniversary of “The Terminator,” and he had the perfect clap back for moviegoers who sometimes complain about the cringe dialogue in his movies. He makes a point in saying that his scripts, even though some find them to be cringe at times, have not prevented his movies from being box office powerhouses. Even with a huge gross, nine Oscar nominations and three wins, “Avatar” is often made fun for not being culturally relevant (even though its long-delayed sequel still became the third highest-grossing movie of all time).
