With the exception of Leia and Leeloo, these are very single-minded focus, badass characters, but most aren't very complex.

Not defending CM, but I will point out that most of what you guys are arguing for in well-written female characters are just bad-asses in action movies you otherwise liked. I think Carol Danvers is given more characterization than Uma in the first Kill Bill, though it's nowhere near as good a movie.
