Patty Jenkins hits back at James Cameron over 'Wonder Woman' criticism

To say that James Cameron hasn't won himself many friends with his recent comments about Wonder Woman would be something of an understatement.

On Thursday evening, The Guardian published an interview with Cameron in which he described Wonder Woman as "a step backwards".

"All the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood's been doing over Wonder Woman has been so misguided," he said. "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."

Unsurprisingly, plenty of people had some things to say about that.

It might be time to back away from this one, Cameron.
