That's highly unfair to action heroines and the actors who play them. Would you say that to Aliens star Sigourney Weaver?
Actually, her character was fine for the first two because they did not turn her into Rambo. She kept a consistent feminity with that role that never bordered on ridiculous in the first two. Turning women into rambo asskickers is a joke and has no place in reality or in movies. It is like the Sparks playing the Lakers.
