James Cameron calls 'Wonder Woman' movie 'a step backwards'

"Wonder Woman" may have been appreciated by critics around the globe but it seems that filmmaker James Cameron is not really impressed with the DC's Gal Gadot starrer.
Cameron, who is popular for writing some of Hollywood's strongest female protagonists in films such as "Titanic", "Avatar" and "The Terminator", took a dig at the way Gadot's character was shown in Patty Jenkins's movie, reported The Guardian.
"All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood's been doing over 'Wonder Woman' has been so misguided. She's an objectified icon, and it's just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I'm not saying I didn't like the movie but, to me, it's a step backwards.

"Sarah Connor (played by Linda Hamilton in 'The Terminator') was not a beauty icon. She was strong, she was troubled, she was a terrible mother, and she earned the respect of the audience through pure grit. And to me, (the benefit of characters like Sarah) is so obvious. I mean, half the audience is female," said Cameron.
Cameron is currently busy with "Avatar" sequels, which features Sigourney Weaver.
