Ugh, I think they messed up the entire Black family. Bellatrix was wrong, Narcissa's hair was incomprehensible, Sirius was... meh, but still suffered from the same thing as the rest of the Marauder era in that he was just too damn OLD. (They're supposed to be ~32 in Philosopher's Stone, and James and Lily were 21 when they died. Instead, Adrian Rawlins was in his early forties for mirror!James - and closer to mid/late forties for later, when he's meant to look 21 in the flashbacks! - and Rickman was FIFTY-FOUR. Playing a THIRTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD. Entire era was messed up there.)

The impression I got from Bellatrix in the book was that she was a tightly-wound elastic band - any wrong movement could snap it. There's control there - shaky control, and sort of false control, but otherwise coming across as in control and menacing as hell. HBC is a good actress, yes, but she was playing her as OMG WACKY ECCENTRIC. And that just honestly came across as a Tim Burton character when she should have felt more terrifying.
