I also thought that Tarantino had nothing left in the tank. Nothing about Avatar excited me. The title itself, the blue people, the cast-all indications that the film would not be a financial success, not overcoming the weight of a 400 million dollar budget. But a scan of the reviews reveals that James Cameron's apparent semi-retirement was not in the vein of George Lucas. Even though his films never seem to rise to the overall level of greatness that the technical merits of his films deserve, it looks like Cameron has another winner. And this time winner might mean more than the hackneyed storyline delivered by Titanic.
