- It shows that being brave always pays off.
- I will just say this right now. If you hate sad endings don't watch tis if you don't care, WATCH THIS PLEASE it is so good!
- I'v watched the tv show on Netflix but not the movie
- I have read the whole series and it only took me 1 year. The plot and book and setting for this movie isn't as great the original but its just as intresting
- i love the books and the show and movies the books are good to
- this is awesome
- Totally FALSE as story plots go. Why cant authors just do the movie just like the book is ? its not so hard Daniel Handler ! Its a great movie if you can put the difference of the book aside and just watch it . I keep a picture above my bed of Count Olaf (Totally not creepy , right). He is the best villain ever !!! (mind you , I didn't say smartest villain )
- Spac3Wolfover 7 yearsi really don't understand how this movie is is rated pg the whole move the uncle is trying to kill the kids for money its dark and twisted id rate it pg 13 because of its dark themes and the fact he literally dies but nope he still survives.
- deimosover 7 yearsThey never showed the unmasking of Count Olaf. bummer
- boonanaalmost 8 yearsIf you're into things that never work out, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is for you. Count Olaf, the main antagonist, will do literally anything to steal the three children's fortune. Characters had great personalities, mind you. Emily Browning played Violet. Not to mention, Violet was played so well and made the movie so much worthwhile than it already was. Liam Aiken was Klaus's actor. Then Kara and Shelby Hoffman, which are two twin baby girls who played Sunny. I would suggest a mature-er audience, probably 12+ for this movie as the scenes can get pretty intense and there is one murder with half a dead body in the shadows to see. There was a difference from the books, most notably Count Olaf. He was much more, how could you say: humourous and "fluffy" in the movie -- while Count Olaf, novel version, well, would rather speak of pools of your blood. A very dark movie, but a great one at that.
