Not crazy at all! Unless we're both crazy, in which case whatever, because I totally agree with you. Uhura definitely had the potential for awesome but they didn't do much to flesh out any opportunities for her to show it off. I felt like she kind of just operated as something of a romantic object in this movie? But my guess is that they'll make more movies since this one was so popular -- is another one already in the works? I wouldn't know -- so hopefully they'll amp up the awesome next time. As long as she doesn't turn into the aforementioned supposed-to-be-awesome-lady-who-turns-out-to-be-kind-of-lame.

Speaking of exceptionally NOT AWESOME "KICKASS" ladies, have you seen... what's it called, that semi-recent Will Smith movie? Um. Hancock! TALK ABOUT A LAME-ASS GAL. Charlize Theron had the potential to be very awesome and she BLEW IT. Although, okay, she didn't specifically, but whoever wrote her character gave her this powerful, intelligent, aggressive personality and also the ability to save the world a la Hancock himself, buuuuut she preferred to settle down and have kids instead. WHICH, WHAT. Like, I'm coming off as sounding so anti-family and anti-kids which I'm not, but isn't that just such a stereotype? There's this guy and this girl and they have equal world-saving capabilities but of course the woman feels incomplete without a family and the guy's good to just go out and do his duty without that. How unfair to both genders, really!

Also, uhh, sorry if you haven't seen the film and I've just ruined the whole thing for you. It wasn't a great film anyway, though, so... :D?
