Australian actress Mia Waiskowska's portrayal of Alice in
Wonderland has been savaged by a British movie critic, who says she
"looks like she's on heroin".
News of The World critic Robbie Collin gave the Tim Burton
blockbuster just one star in his column, describing the 3D film as
one that should be burned and fired off into space.
On Waiskowska's performance, Collin wrote that there's not been a
lead character this paper-flat since the South Park movie.
"The girl's got all the warmth of a refrigerated trout, and a face
you'd expect to see Blu-Tacked to the inside of a London phone
box.
"She's not a heroine - she looks like she's ON heroin."
Waiskowska's co-stars, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, were
also slammed for their roles as the Mad Hatter and Red Queen.
Depp's Hatter was a flailing, pointless idiot and the worst role
he's played in his life, according to Collin.
His advice to Bonham Carter was: "put some bloody EFFORT into it
woman", describing her Red Queen as a "seventh-rate impression of
Queenie from Blackadder II".
Collin summed up the film as a "bona fide, bums-in-the-air fiasco
that needs to be burned and the ashes hurtled off in the direction
of the nearest black hole as soon as you can, NASA".
"In fact, it's Lesbian Vampire Killers bad - the kind of film that
you don't just dislike or even hate, but one that your body
physically rejects like a dodgy organ transplant."
Alice in Wonderland had its world premiere in London last
Thursday.
