Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Ploydsge just watch it!

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

linnearhodes This is not fallowing the books at all it is a disgrace to a series of unfortunate events:(:(:(!!!!!!!!

alisahajahan234 All though this is child movie,you love it if you love child fantasy movie. outher wise ..........

Kirpianuscus for the fans of books, for the meet with Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep, for the performances of children. and for the Gothic elements. for me, who I do not read the books, the story seems be too darker and Meryl Streep the most important motif to see the film. Jim Carrey does a great job but this fact is not real surprising. and the mix of Edwardian and the 1950 atmosphere could be a good point. short, a film who seems be defined by influences from Tim Burton and late romanticism, mixing the classic smart children and the adults with obscure purposes.

laurrifying I feel like this perfectly captures the ambiance of the books. The characters, the feeling, the overall haunting fog makes it magical. Jim Carrey gives one of the best performances in his career-in fact it is a marvelously star-studded cast - and the children were perfect. This has held up incredibly well and I watch it still. Even more to its credit, the show is unbearably bad and so the movie brings round the good feels again. I really feel like it's time to stop tying to re-make everything (and thus ruining it) and maybe just do a wicked sequel. I would be more comfortable watching Carrey reprise this amazing role than having it shattered and stomped on.
