Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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 ..........

Some very funny characters and scenes...watch with family!

An enjoyable movie that worked well. It had good actors and it was a good representation of the books. However I think it didn't really work to try and cram three books into one ninety minute movie. It would have been better to maybe just base the movie on just two of the books. The plot moves very quickly throughout the movie. The lack of restrain of Jim Carrey is a bit ridiculous and annoying. They tried to make Count Olaf more funny and less cruel instead of evil, like he was in the books. The sets were perfect and the children were really well cast. Liam and Emily were really good and natural actors. It annoys me how in movies they always move some of the main parts from the girl character to the boy. In the books it was violet who looked after her siblings but in the movie it was Klaus who climbed the tower, Klaus who saves Sunny, Klaus who destroys the marriage document, Klaus who decoded the message in the note, Klaus who sees the connection of the spy glasses. In the books Violet did some of those things instead. I also think it was better left a mystery to who burnt down the Baudelaire Mansion like the books, in the movie they revealed that it was Count Olaf. It would have worked better if they had stuck to the books abut more. Overall a good movie with good child actors and sets that represented the books fairly well.
