She really isn't that great of an actress. She has been good in two movies I have seen her in: Fight Club and Sweeney Todd. Coincidentally, the roles were pretty similar. In every other movie, she has given a sub-par performance. Not to mention she mooches off her husband to get roles in movies. |
She was very cute in Mel Gibson's version of Hamlet where she played Ophelia.
Also, if you liked her performances in Sweeney Todd and Fight Club, then you should also like her performance as the Queen of Hearts because it is another similar role. Another film where I thought she was excellent was in The Corpse Bride.
In the types of films Burton does there are many similar roles. It's not her fault she is as good as anyone in those types of roles.
Who else could they get? Sean Young? Probably too old. Asia Argento? Probably actually too crazy. Christina Ricci? As small as she is, she wouldn't make a very imposing Queen of Hearts.
