 Ananova: 
Sigourney doesn't like women action heroes

Sigourney Weaver says she doesn't like what has become of female action heroes since she starred in Alien.

"I'm not sure I'd say Angelina Jolie was brilliant in the way they used her in Lara Croft", the actress, 55, told Spiegel magazine.

"Angelina is a great actress, but her role is limited to fighting evil with weapons."

"I think it's quite a pity that an actress as good as Angelina Jolie isn't given more room to portray the character of Lara Croft with a touch more intelligence", she said.

"They limited her to the video game character too much", Weaver complained.

"To me, big breasts, hot pants and a gun in your hand aren't what makes a heroine."

The actress also said there will probably be a fifth Alien film, but she won't be in it.

"I know there's a script, but I haven't read it", she said.

"Never say never, but I'm pretty sure this thing is over for me," she added.
