Absolutely cannot stand that version. The Ken Branagh one is loads better. It has a Robin Williams cameo :D
I especially hate the confrontation with his mother, and it looks like Mel Gibson is all over her. We actually watched both version when we studied it in high school, Ken's version for actual study, Gibson's version to laugh at.
Helena Bonham Carter is the perfect choice for Bellatrix. Everything I've seen her in, I've loved her role. She can definitely pull off the psychotic aspect. She did it great in Fight Club, after all. And she also does calm and sweet very well. She'll definitely be able to pull off all of Bellatrix's personalities.
