Wonder Woman har været en astronomisk succes for Warner Bros., og med solide anmeldelser i ryggen må man sige at det er gået godt for DC's seneste. Men, det er ikke alle der er enige om at filmen holder, og blandt disse kritikere finder vi Avatar- og Terminator-instruktør James Cameron, der mener at filmen er et "skridt tilbage" for kvinders repræsentation på det store lærred.
I et interview med The Guardian siger Cameron, at fordi Wonder Woman er et "objektificeret ikon", så hindrer hendes karakter udviklingen:
"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."
Derimod synes Cameron at en karakter som Sarah Connor i Terminator-serien er langt bedre som udtryk for udviklingen:
"Sarah Connor 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
