I think the controversy isn't that it's "rapey" (it's not), it's just that she's is such a non-character throughout the entire film and the film just decides to end on her. We don't care about her. The fact that she is a princess just reinforces the video game trope that she needs to be rescued by the hero and gives herself up as the reward. It's more than wish fulfillment, it comes out of nowhere as she isn't sexually portrayed earlier on in the film.
The film is better than Kick Ass which has similar misogynistic problems, but at least the supporting cast is interesting though the film really suffers when Firth departs. I rather have had Roxie as the lead.
