Can McG Live Up To The Legacy Of Cameron?

“I’m king of the world,” James Cameron famously quipped at the end of his Oscar acceptance speech for directing Titanic. To most it sounded arrogant, but to sci-fi fans it was hardly news. We’ve been blubbering over his movies for decades.

Cameron’s two entries in the Terminator saga are not only considered classics of the genre, but arguably the best work from one of the living masters of movies.

McG, on the other hand, has no real kudos to speak of. Early reaction to his appointment as Terminator Salvation’s director was met with little enthusiasm.

After seeing the new trailer though, has that changed your opinion? Can McG possibly do Cameron’s saga justice? Let us know, below.
