Overrated and overhyped
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is not fallowing the books at all it is a disgrace to a series of unfortunate events:(:(:(!!!!!!!!
All though this is child movie,you love it if you love child fantasy movie. outher wise ..........
Hilarious well done film. I never read the books so I can't compare but it is still a great film regardless. Any negative reviews for this film are from people who have absolutely no sense of good humour and cinematic authenticity. They're probably just upset because they're alone and ugly.
I was a fan of the books as a kid reading from the bad beginning to the end and was excited to find out this strange world would be brought to the big screen. Keeping Tim Burton's version alive the sets were stunningly Gothic in nature without looking cartoonish and gives a sense of dread ever present in the books. I was worried about the casting choices for each role when I heard Jim Carrey would be the evil Count Olaf who caused a division in VFD yet he looked, sounded and brought his own sense of humor to the character which changed my view on how wise it was to use him. The others hammed it up and now I can't picture the Baudelaire orphans looking any other way.The music was sweet, enchanting and almost makes it feel like danger is in the air. Very moving if you get the soundtrack by itself.While combing the first three books together seemed like a mistake at first it glowed and wrapped up nicely. The wedding scene was very important plot point as it showed how conniving Olaf is and how desperate it shows him trying to get his hands in the fortune. You miss out on some of his unique theater grope who are helping him keep eyes on the children at every turn, but it makes up for it by covering all the big events unlike Harry Potter padding out the run time with new footage.All in all I enjoyed the movie in its own right and can't wait for the long anticipated mini series to begin.
