James Cameron Stands by His Wonder Woman Comments

Let’s travel back in time about a month whenJames Camerondecided tovoice his thoughtsonPatty Jenkins’Wonder Woman. It went something like this: “All of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood’s been doing overWonder Womanhas been so misguided.
