I'll take one well-written female character over a bunch of stock and token characters.

The thing I liked about Mako Mori was that it was her story being told... Just through someone else. It's why Raleigh had little to no development. His story had already been told, he'd reach that place. So instead, he was supporting her through her story. And at the end, it wasn't about saving her. I'm pretty sure he wasn't counting on making it out alive, and he probably felt lucky he did. He honestly probably wanted her out of there because she was on the verge of death due to the damage the machine took. Not because he thought her weak. He thought her strong on her own merits, and that much is obvious. It's because he had such a deep respect for her based on her own merits that her situation pissed him off--he was watching someone else cut her potential short because they couldn't let go of the little girl she used to be. Yes, he stood up for her once, but because she wasn't standing up for herself and the guy was wrong, but she'd been so afraid and beaten down by being told she wasn't ready by then she believed it (when the opposite was true--she was ready and Raleigh knew it).

...Aaaand I'm TLDRing, but that's what I took from it. It's hardly perfect, no. But it's an interesting story in which the main character isn't who the story is actually about, he's just our eyes into the world so we have the necessary backstory and PoV to understand the world without an entire origins movie. Or at least that's how I interpreted it.
