Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

It is entirely possible to have a sexualized character to be well written and vital to the story they are in.
Thanks, Toyman, for clearing that up.
Let's be honest, her entire character is the epitome of the sexy pinup girl that Hollywood has pushed on us for generations.

Lara Croft is the main character of her games and movies, and Tifa is a valuable support character in her games and movies.
So I have to wonder what you mean by “fanservice-y”?
Still, Jessica is well written, and an important part of the movie story. Particularly when we realize everything she did in the movie was because she genuinely loved her husband:

How a character is written and how a character is drawn are two different things, and usually the product of two (or more) different people.
