Best movie of this year hands down!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A Masterpiece!

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

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

A Series Of Unfortunate EventsDespite of being goofy, questionable and even cheesy sometimes, it works like a charm and the credit goes to the brilliant adapted screenplay by Robert Gordon that keeps the audience engaged through its finely detailed peculiar world that the characters revolve around. Brad Silberling is exceptionally good on executing such premise but it required better editing. The feature scores majestically on performance level by Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep and a decent support among the young actors too. A Series Of Unfortunate Events has a darker and stronger premise than a usual kid's feature and still is light and breezy due to the stellar performances and amusing little inputs in the characters.

If you watch the preview of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, it's pretty much impossible to resist seeing the full movie. It looks fantastic! Three young children who are recently orphaned are sent to live with their uncle, but he keeps trying to kill them to inherit their fortune. The uncle is played by Jim Carrey, and he's dressed and made up in countless disguises, showing off a mixture of comedic and dramatic talents that's a joy to watch. Among the "series of unfortunate events", you'll see many familiar faces, including Meryl Streep, Timothy Spall, Billy Connolly, Luis Guzman, Craig Ferguson, Jennifer Coolidge, Catherine O'Hara, Jane Adams, Cedric the Entertainer, Helena Bonham Carter, Amy Brenneman, Dustin Hoffman, Jane Lynch, and Jude Law, who narrates the film.The movie is quite beautiful to watch, in such deep, dark colors, ornate costumes, and surreal landscapes. It makes you think you've entered a world co-designed by Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss, and the result is magical. Jim Carrey fans won't want to miss this tour-de-force, and neither will anyone who appreciates beautiful set designs. While it's not really a movie I like to watch over and over again, it is very visually entertaining.

Visually, the movie is very beautiful. Gothic yes, and beautiful. 9/10 for that.I remember watching this when I was a teenager, then I look it up again now and hey, it's really good.The Baudelaires children are cute, the villains are funny, and the sets is adorable.The best part was how the children made me feel about them. I sympathized with them, and yet, I am also satisfyingly fulfilled by them.The story, like all grim comedic movie (another story with a nearly similar theme like this is Into the Woods), is somehow somewhat a mess. But it worked. It worked fine.I loved it then, and I still love it now.Sadly, they don't give it a sequel.This is a kind of movie that will always have a place in my heart and my movie collection.P.S. The credit also has an eye-candy animation.
