However, James Cameron (writer and director of Alien, Titanic and Avatar to name a few) was not really impressed by the movie.
In an interview with The Guardian that introduces Cameron as a director who used to nail-gun mobile phones that rang on set to walls, Cameron gave his two cents on Wonder Woman.
