Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
emilycons This is by far the best show I have ever watched. The acting is amazing, it's humorous, and best of all it's family friendly. As someone who loves the books I was so excited to watch this show and I'm happy I did. If your a huge fan of the books like I am, you may be interested in finding the many Easter eggs hidden within the shows episodes. For example in S1 Ep 2- Count Olaf is tasting cakes and says one is "a little lemony" connecting to Lemony Snicket. Overall this is an amazing show I recommend watching
xfactor-78139 I love this show. I really do. Pros and cons time!Count Olaf! I'm sorry... Pros. Count Olaf! The most entertaining character in the whole frigging show. He's played so well, and you end up rooting for him in a backwards kind of way, if only to see what he does next.Secondly it follows the syntax of the original books really well. It's a small thing, really, but is a nice touch to have the dialogue phrased like it would be if it was read straight from the book. Nice homage to the original books.The art style is spot on, exactly like it is from the original books. everything has a strange, Burton-esque slant to it, like out of a cartoon, and it never looks quite right. This sounds bad, but it only lends to the atmosphere of the whole show.I could go on, but on to the cons.Ok, first off, don't expect to come across many intelligent adults while watching this. Excluding Count Olaf and a few VFD agents (who die later in the series anyway) every adult that exists appears to have some sort of mental deficiency. It's like they regressed to the intellectual capacity of a lizard. Issue is that it is a necessary evil, as that was how it was written in the books. Every adult in the books was a complete moron in some facet or another, and in order to preserve the atmosphere of the book that needed to stick.Second of all, two words. Carmelita Spats. You will want to put this infuriating little beast in the darkest pits of the nether realm within 3.5 milliseconds of the first syllable that she utters, and only after flattening her to the approximate size and shape of a hubcap with an ice-cream scoop. You have been warned.Other than that, yeah, Excellent show, 10/10, would recommend to anyone.
iamtheuf The entire show is cringe-worthy. I don't know what it's trying to be, but there's no drama, suspense, or comedy.
calebaldwinner Based on the popular children's novels by Lemony Snicket, this Netflix Original does a marvelous job at capturing the essence of the book. Compared to the film of the same name in 2004 this version is extremely different bringing a Wes Anderson like style that fits perfectly to the books are. Giving the thought and detail into making roughly around 8-10 episodes 0 minutes long covering a book in two episodes is what this property needed. Now we can get better plot and character development in the show and get a sense of it being more of a series with it having 3 seasons leaving each season and/or set of episodes in a cliff hanger. I hope they will keep up the good work in the final season and finish off with a bang and mystery for all of the viewers.
