Actually I was just correcting some facts, but since you brought it up...
He had to settle a lawsuit out of court with Harlan Ellison concerning a possible rip off of Terminator (mostly due to some comments he made during an interview concerning what inspired him)
Despite making the most money with his films, I don't personally consider him the best filmmaker that ever lived, but I do confess that I sat through AVATAR and time flew and it certainly didn't feel like 3 hours.
He does make great popcorn movies (probably something slightly more than merely popcorn movies even), I'll give him that... He'll be probably be able to continue forever now since he never fails to make money no matter what people predict.
