They should make more movies like this

The first 3 ASOUE books were asapted in this movie. With a duration of 1 hour and 40 minutes, this film didn't manage to cover really important parts of the books, the main plot, the personalities of the characters and its direction is litterally inspired by the medieval era, while the original plot was set in the late 20th century. Jim Carrey plays excellantly....well.., himself, and misses the tone of the series by making Count Olaf an old man who does dinosaur noises spontainiously. The casting is not that bad and Meryl Streep, even though being maybe the only good thing about this movie has to put up with her character's awful writing, since the director took every bad thing about book Josephine, and applied it to Mrs Streep's performance. P.S. I dont want to talk about the references to VFD in this movie because it will make me want to lower my rating half a star.

I enjoy this movie. I wish It was longer

Jim Carrey delivers an absolutely brilliant performance as Olaf, and he truly makes it seem like we are watching a cartoon character come to life. The way that he steals every scene that he is in is amazing to watch, and as Count Olaf he is as entertaining as ever.

Some excellent special effects and a clever plot.

A good movie. Definitely more interesting and mysterious as a kid.

I love a good creepy kids movie but this one left unanswered questions. I have started to read the series so hopefully it’ll be good!

loved this and still do

Comédia dramática com um toque de elementos góticos que traz Jim Carrey em sua melhor interpretação como o maligno e ambicioso Conde Olaf. É engraçado, divertido e viciante.

Even though it is still a good movie, it is still quite a bit disrespectful to the original book franchise (Lemony Snicket's).

Buena película, una gran adaptacion del libro pero que a mi parecer se queda corta y deja muchas cosas sin resolver. Es una película para chicos pero con una historia bastante oscura a mi parecer, con algunas cosas turbias como algunas muertes o ver al conde Olaf queriendo asesinar a los chicos. Es una historia entretenida y que tiene muchas cosas para contar y a mi parecer se queda corta, ya que no termina de contar por completo la historia de estos personajes. Escuche mucha gente decir que es aburrida pero a mi parecer no es así, su ritmo es bastante rápido y no es para nada larga y se pasa muy rápido el tiempo. Me gustaría destacar una escena muy buena: la del tren, ya que se va desarrollando muy bien la tensión generada junto a planos y pequeños detalles. Los personajes están muy bien, los tres hermanos caen bien y empatizas rápido con ellos al ver lo mal que la pasan con el conde Olaf, creo que los tres actores hacen un excelente trabajo y quedan perfecto en estos papeles. Por otro lado, me gusto el personaje del conde Olaf y sus diversas variantes haciéndose pasar por otros personajes, creo que Jim Carrey hace un brillante trabajo dándole su esencia a este malvado villano y a los otros personajes que interpreta, con toques malignos y otros de comedia típicos del actor. La ambientación y la direccion de Brad Silberling me parecieron fantásticas, con tonos bastante oscuros y sets muy bien creados, a pesar de tener algunas pantallas verdes algo notorias. Además, los efectos se me hicieron algo pobres y se notan bastante los momentos en los que se usa el CGI. Por ultimo, destaco el soundtrack de Thomas Newman que se complementa muy bien con algunas escenas. En conclusión, una solida adaptacion de esta historia que a mi parecer le hacia falta una secuela para terminar de contar bien la historia de los huérfanos, pero que en esta sola película lo hacen genial. La recomiendo.

It was very entertaining with some good humor and intense situations. It's worth the watch.

I never read the books. Mainly watched it for Jim Carrey. It's delightfully dark and funny.

Could have been better but it's ok

Great movie, and just the right amount of suspense and fear for children to not spook them too much.

There were a few good moments but overall I just thought about the book and show the whole time and how much better they were. I hated most of the dialogue and how weird some of the characters actions felt but some of the concepts were good. When all of Aunt Josephine fears were coming true was the only genuinely good part. Overall the characters didn't feel right and they didn't even do half of the story because it was really rushed and we didn't get to know and like many characters, the ending felt to just even if count Olaf did escape we were told that he was put in jail and through all the things the children had to face first. They drove off into the sunset- it felt like elf movie the film begins with.

A Series of Unfortunate events is an amazing movie. It is really much like the 3 books in the book series, and it was super funny ( unlike the book series). I watched this movie a pretty long time ago, so I kind of forgot it. Bit I remember this movie was not the best, but really good. What a good movie.

Epic movie 10/10 change my life

A decent, cheesy, fun movie for fans of the book and entertaining for kids
