i'll agree with both the Sigourney Weaver and Scarlett Johansson examples, but need to add Scarlett's protrayal of "Lucy"... i felt She was AWESOME in that one.

In my opinion, Scarlett made for a very poor black widow. She might be a decent actress and a bit of eye candy, but there's nothing intriguing about her character. I would've expected a more intimidating, mysterious beauty without the thick American accent to portray the seductive Natasha Romanova. Perhaps Eva Geeen.
Jolie on the other hand excels in almost every lead role she takes on. Always a delight to watch.

I would put that down to poor character development and representation in the marvel cinematic universe. For a Russian spy she doesn't offer much as part of the Avengers, Scarlett for me does a decent job considering what she has to work with

While this hasn't been released yet, I can't wait to see Gal Gadot in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, I think she owned her part in Dawn of Justice and will do well in her own movie (hopefully)

Hm, good question. Most female leads are not in action movies, so I've chosen those I consider the most "kick-ass" (hence no Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", although she's worth it).

• In "action" movies:

- The Bride, in Tarantino's "Kill Bill". Played by Uma Thurman.

- Princess Mononoke (San), in Hayao Miyasaki's "Princess Mononoke". Voiced by Yuriko Ishida in japanese or Tara Charendoff in english.

- Lady Vengeance, in Chan-Woo Park's "Lady Vengeance". Played by Yeong-ae Lee.

- Katniss Everdeen, in Gary Ross' "Hunger Games". Played by Jennifer Lawrence.

- Ripley, in Ridley Scott's "Alien". Played by Sigourney Weaver.


• Non-action movies:

- Raimunda, in Pedro Almodovar's "Volver". Played by Penelope Cruz.

- Hayley Stark, in David Slade's "Hard Candy". Played by Ellen Page.

- Maggie Fitzgerald, in Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby". Played by Hillary Swank

- La Marquise de Merteuil, in Stephen Frears' "Dangerous Liaisons". Played by Glenn Close.

- Catherine Tramell, in Paul Verhoeven's "Basic Instinct". Played by Sharon Stone


Many, many more are worth mentions.

Hell yes, to Uma Thurman's Beatrix Kiddo. This is one of my favourite kickass female characters of all time.

I agree. Bad actress, badly underwritten character.

Sally Bowles from Cabaret. Easily my favorite musical of all time.
Nora Desmond from Sunset Boulevard.
Ripley from Alien.
Holly GoLightly from Breakfast At Tiffany's (though the movie totally sanitizes both leads, which pisses me off).
Hermione from Harry Potter.
River Tam in Serenity.

I am embarrassed to admit how much I love this movie (and how many times I've seen it).

How about Eva Green in anything!!!
--Inspired by the Gothic story competition, I've been binge-watching "Penny Dreadful" lately, and Eva Green is addictive. She's stunning, of course, but there's so much more to her.


I agree.. anything. I will watch any movie or series she appears in. She plays a semi-disfigured mute in a movie called The Salvation, and she is simply mesmerizing.

I thought Daisy Ridley was pretty good as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Remembering how into Star Wars I was as a kid, I thought is was awesome to see such a kick-ass female lead in the last episode. Leia was cool too of course, but she was more a damsel in distress.

Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in the Aliens movies is definitely #1

Eva Green in Sin City: A Dame To Die For (plus she constantly shows her tits throughout the movie.) I love that movie!

Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor in The Terminator

Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson in Fargo (she was GREAT!)

Many others, but those stand out to me. I know I'll think of more later...

Meryl Streep as Clara del Valle in House of Flying Spirits, which is based on one of my favorite books. Although I was disappointed to see all of that rich Chilean culture white-washed in the film version, Meryl Streep did justice to the portrayal of one of my favorite characters from the book.

Not exactly an ass-kicking role, but definitely powerful in its own right.

And of course there are all the obvious roles in the action-packed films that I could list all night...
