Umm, from what I am reading/hearing, THIS film is to be his Magnum Opus. his Piece de resistance (I know I butchered that).
We'll see. I haven't forgiven him yet for the self-indulgent snooze-fest that was Titanic, but he DID do Aliens...so he gets a pass. The uber-nerds and fanboys seem pretty pumped for it and the FX alone may be reason enough to see it in the theatre.
