they are graceful heroines with
devastating power give me that sword
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
kick-ass female movie characters that
weren’t overly sexualized smoosh what
you’re doing for this list we’re
featuring both female characters from
standalone films as well as women from
franchises that span several years that
focus as long as they could kick ass and
take names with their beauty not being
the most prominent or most focused upon
element in the story then she could
potentially make the list I beg your
pardon
however a character like Ellen Ripley
from alien fails to make the cut because
the film’s final act relies on her sex
appeal the ship will automatically
destruct in t-minus one minute number 10
a Owen the Lord of the Rings franchise
your words a poison portrayed by
Australian actress Miranda Otto this
sword bearing Beauty sports long golden
locks and moves with elegance women of
this country learned long ago those
without swords could still die upon them
despite her radiant complexion a Huan’s
wardrobe is rather modest she’s a woman
born for adventure and not the finest
runways of Rohan let me stand to your
side in fact she once disguised herself
as a man simply to engage the enemy
died now she danced with the devil among
the fields of Pellinore and announced
her true identity before annihilating
the witch-king of Angmar bad ass I am
mad
number 9 Beatrice Tris prior divergent
and you are this is Beatrice coming from
the selfless faction of abnegation this
16 year old was born into humble
beginnings and doesn’t need all the
latest fashions from dystopian Chicago
I’m scared it’ll tell me I’m not
abnegation that I have to leave my
family
ultras needs is a good workout a hair
clip a fresh black tank and a couple of
minutes to strategize no but what was
the result
abnegation shailene woodley stars as the
uncontrollable Beatrice Pryor and she’s
kept covered up and appropriately
dressed for someone her age throughout
the first installment of the divergent
series as soon as though the others find
out they’re gonna kill me
and in the 2015 sequel insurgent Tris
takes an even more practical approach to
her style I’m not gonna fight you of
course you’re not you’re gonna fight you
number eight US Air Force tech sergeant
Elena Santos battle Los Angeles Tech
sergeant Elena Santos Air Force when you
survived a devastating alien attack your
beauty swag becomes less of a concern
much like Michelle Rodriguez a similar
character Christina Sanchez in the 2003
film SWAT are you looking for Chris
Sanchez
I’m cross launches as a technical
sergeant of the Recon division
Elena Santos rocks fatigues more than
fashionable threads yet maintains her
inherent beauty during alien battles I
got that nasty stuff all over my mouth
man
funny you know I’m doing on the first
night thanks to the dualistic nature of
Rodriguez’s beautiful and edgy
appearance the characters antics are
believable and downright nasty setteth
you got those codes there for strike
package coming up she’s funny and your
friend to the end all without flaunting
her natural goods take out that gross
number seven Margaret Maggie Fitzgerald
Million Dollar Baby Maggie Fitzgerald
well Maggie Fitzgerald what’s up hailing
from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri
this Million Dollar Baby appears more
comfortable exploring discount racks
than Rodeo Drive thought you might be
interested in training me I don’t train
girls
maybe you should people see me fat
saying pretty tough girly tough eight
enough Hilary Swank won an Academy Award
for her portrayal of Maggie Fitzgerald a
woman who packs a strong punch and has a
love for gym clothing because I know if
you train me right I’m gonna be a champ
I seen you looking at me yeah out of
pity
don’t you say that don’t you say that if
it ain’t true by wearing little makeup
or at least looking like she doesn’t and
letting her natural aura shine swag
produced an accurate depiction of a
female boxer trying to survive you’re
not interested then I got more
celebrating to do
some women wear sweats after a hard
day’s work but Maggie Fitzgerald rocks
her gear all day long
number six Hermione Granger the Harry
Potter franchise I’m Hermione Granger
and you are by starring in eight films
over the course of a decade actress Emma
Watson grew up before our eyes as the
muggle-born witch Hermione Granger
Bengali Musa by the time the last three
installments were released Watson had
grown into a beautiful young woman yet
her character maintained the same
elegance and poise that made her a
feminist icon oh okay
given the international popularity of
the franchise it would have been easy to
transform Hermione into an obvious sex
symbol
but her natural beauty and studious
nature managed to do the trick just fine
for these fantasy flicks
obliviate
number five yu Shu lien Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon
Michelle Yeoh was almost 40 years old at
the time of this film’s release
but her exquisite complexion and
athletic ability made her the perfect
fit for a king dynasty warrior draped in
period clothing audiences admired the
physical form of Yu Shu Lian along with
her sensational battle with genu this is
a woman who knows how to move and
spoiler it’s not on the dance floor
surely n Li mu Bai Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon proved that female
warriors can kick butt in style and
didn’t have to show loads of skin to do
so give me that sword number 4
sergeant Rita Rose vert a ski edge of
tomorrow yes what do you want what a
pleasant sight to see after endless time
loops huh fact Rita vrataski will end
you but her smile makes imminent death
less painful I’m a soldier I volunteered
I’m not walking away you die here while
training Major William cage for the
ultimate battle against aggressive
aliens Rita vrataski shows a preference
for dark clothing that’s comfortable to
wear during vigorous workouts are you
doing find me when you wake up
watch come find me when you wake actress
Emily Blunt possesses beauty that would
make even aliens tremble but her
presence in edge of tomorrow was cool
confident and classy
number three Katniss Everdeen the Hunger
Games franchise thank you
very consideration Jennifer Lawrence is
both an Academy award-winning actress
and a modern sex symbol but her
character in The Hunger Games franchise
boasts a different type of appeal that
about sums me up as the rebellious
tribute from district 12 Katniss
Everdeen exudes an aura of power beauty
and intimidation without flaunting her
natural physique there’s 24 of us Gale
only one comes out it’s gonna be you
perhaps it’s her vulnerability that
audiences enjoy or maybe it’s her pure
devotion but never does this master of
bone arrow use sexuality to kill
number two Sarah Connor Terminator 2
Judgment Day she’s badass because she
has to be broke my arm there 215 bones
in human body that’s one with a simple
blank tank and a pair of aviator shades
oh and also a machine gun Sarah Connor
became an iconic figure of cinema
actress Linda Hamilton captured our
attention in the original 1984 film and
maintained a subdued sense of beauty in
the sequel as t1000 was hot on her trail
Hamilton trained vigorously to reprise
her role and the work paid off Sarah
Connor was lean mean and a robot
assassin killing machine you don’t need
to dress up to save the world before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
dr. Watson Anna Watson yet to meet food
looks like finding a partner wasn’t that
hard after all
thank you that’s not what you thought it
was I didn’t think anything captain not
one thing your good friend you too
sweetie less tell mommy to stand down
before he gets hurt number one the bride
Beatrix kiddo Kill Bill are you calling
me a superhero last name kiddo first
name
Beatrix codename black mamba portrayed
by the fit uma Thurman the bride was all
business in Quentin Tarantino’s
martial-arts flick donning a vibrant
yellow bodysuit that spoke for itself
you know Chicano moto so then why must a
koke know she’s not your typical femme
fatale that kills with sexual teasing
she’s dressed to impress
simply because her business is revenge
very funny
by keeping the bride fully clothed
audiences primarily focused on the
action yet kept an eye on the zipper
that was dropped just enough for a
subtle hint of sexuality you and I have
unfinished business
Beatrix kiddo became a prominent figure
in cinema history not through her
natural physical gifts but through
survival and hard work and when I
arrived at my destination
I am gonna kill
although we’re sure the director got his
own personal kicks from the toe wiggling
scene way clear Victor do you agree with

female movie character who wasn’t overly
sexualized guess that makes my Iron Dome
