Bro my biggest turnoff from Carrey’s wackiness was the over abundance of it. It’s definitely good at some points, like for the points when you really need to hate him, and ESPECIALLY at the points when he’s doing characters like Stephano. But there were parts in the movie when he was God awful terrifying and not so wacky, like when he leaned into the car to whisper into the Baudelaires as Poe was taking them away...those moments of his that Harris could never live up to. And I would have just loved to see more of that. At the end of the day, Olaf needs to be viewed more as a villain in my opinion. And too much wacky makes me wanna love him and find him hilarious, when the whole point is for me not to love him.

The point of a live action adaptation is not to be exactly like the source material, but to be visually believable and interesting while respecting the source material. I've watched the series, read the books and watched the movie and I still like the movie better because while it's not 100% true to the books, the visual effects, the storytelling and the tone (the whole adaptation itself) make it easier for me to take it seriously. Every character is likeable and you understand what they're all about just by looking at them. Accuracy doesn't mean it's better.

In my opinion, the show purposely made the children's misfortune into a joke to demonstrate how kids are never taken seriously which is a main theme throughout the franchise. People don't see through Olaf's obvious disguises to show that adults see what they want to see, but children are keener and can see things as they are. It's supposed to stress the incompetence and flaws of all the adults around them to demonstrate that adults don't have it all together, and emphasises the kid's awareness and intelligence. It's a bold contrast that emphasises points which I felt was missed in the movie adaptation. It's caricature more than realism. The series elaborates the plot and doesn't leave the viewer with any untied ends or questions (by this I mean questions that aren't to be answered in later series) whereas the movie rushed and changed the plot for constant jam packed action. I don't think it's accurate or fair to judge either adaption against the other without taking into account the plot of the book as it is the source material and an adaptation is supposed to bring the source material to life. We also must not forget that its target audience is children, and by adding more humour and lightheartedness to the show it makes it easier for children to stomach and connect with characters, and helps them retain interest in the show, all the while keeping the dry and sarcastic undertones of the original material

@henrythewinnercat6179

The series isn't about kids vs adults, it's about morality. Regardless of whether the characters are good or bad in the books they are generally useless or their life's work ends up being nothing. The only exceptions are the kids but not because they are children, it's because they approach things differently. The good guys hide in secret societies yet are revealed to all throughout the series The bad guys are open about their evilness (when they are honest vs the lies of the good guys) but easily get by due to disguises. And then in the middle you have the three children who aren't showed to really be good or bad. They are shown as being basically emotionless in every medium because they represent the moral grey area/subjective morality. The bad guys aren't bad and the good guys aren't good because the good guys have terrible things they did in their pasts same as the baddies and most of the baddies have tragic backstories that set them on their current course.

Perhaps that is a deeper analysis of the series. I haven't seen anyone else mention this before, but on a far more literal level, it does demonstrate how kids are not taken seriously. Books are subjective, and there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what a book is about or what it is representative of. I like your view on it but that doesn't invalidate mine. I started my statement off stating it was my opinion because it is exactly that. I didn't write the books, I didn't produce the series. That's just my take on why it was presented the way it was and that I thought that was how they were trying to tell the story

xAdvil is it hard being so lonely all the time? don't you just want to scream for attention?! ugh I know sweetheart it's unbearable, but do try to be quiet... your tantrums are disturbing logical thought, and basic civility. kids these days. amirite? There can and should be more than one theme to a piece of art. As a wee one I remember reading these books and picking up on the authors cues about how the adults can oftentimes misunderstand or be almost willfully ignorant of the plight, or sorrow, or valid concerns of anyone they don't seem to think is a "grown up" something I think a good number of children feel from time to time. I.e. any and all references to the phrase "parents just don't understand". As an adult underlying themes whether intentional or not (I vote intentional) can be a "relative morality" as one might put it or how surreal life can be even in the face of great tragedy almost as if the world doesn't even notice you're hurting... because it doesnt. Either way I enjoyed the show better because like you said it adhered to the source material and it brought to life the nostalgia of reading a great book series. I also felt the tone matched better with the show. very dry but interesting main characters and very excentric but ultimately dull and dimwitted supporting characters. but hey, that's just my take on it.

The film captures the spirit of the books and is just made with such better quality, I'd say. I do like both, but everything about the film is produced much better. The opening of the film "The Little Elf" scene? I thought I was in the wrong theatre when I saw that, but then it turned out to be a total headfake and that was brilliantly hilarious. And that joke kept popping up in the film to remind us! The MUSIC of the film - composer Thomas Newman's score was worthy of that Oscar nomination, as his music often is. Olaf's acting troupe is much better in the film. I mean, in the show, they come off as kiiinda bland and irrelevant. A character may be intended to be a boring character but that doesn't mean it should bore the audience. In the film, when the two ladies of Olaf's troupe suddenly appear in the play singing "Nothing in the world can keep the count from his beloved bride!" - they just throw that in our faces and it's jarring but then you realize what's going on and it was hilarious how overtly overconfident/presumptuous Olaf is so that he goes to that length to tell everyone and especially the children that he cannot be stopped. The hook-handed man vs Klaus "I'll make a nice filet outta you!" They all get their moments in the film with solid performances. And Carrey's Olaf - like this video says - can seamlessly go from silly to menacing to hilarious. For instance when the kids first arrive and ask what's upstairs and Olaf stops in his tracks and slowly looks up and then towards the children with the words: "The TOWER...which You are NEVER to enter....UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES..." giving us a close-up of that Eye. That was genuinely kind of freaky. To us and the children...until he turns around and has to prevent himself from laughing. (Musical score at that moment is also terrific). The show is food for us fans because we get to see a more literal rendition of the books and so much more of the stories. But where the show fails is keeping things interesting or tonally creative. It becomes monotonous, sometimes. And it's sometimes far too silly, whereas the film has kind of a cap on silliness levels. Mr. Poe and Aunt Josephine are SOOOOO annoying in the show. Josephine's the worst - not because her character demands it, but the actress just goes overboard and isn't believable. The first two episodes are directed by series producer Barry Sonnenfeld who directed the Men In Black films, Wild Wild West, Get Shorty and produced and sometimes directed the SUPERLATIVE series "Pushing Daisies". If you haven't seen that show, you simply Must drop everything yer doing and make it yer Goal In Life to acquire it. He also was producer on the film version of A Series of Unfortunate Events. However, the first 2 episodes of the Netflix show - remember, having read all the books, seen/loved the film, I was SO excited - but the first two episodes were so disappointingly silly. I was shocked! But on episode 3, new director on board, show started to improve. I liked in the show the details alluding to The VFD and Beatrice and other things from the books, but accuracy to the books means little if the show or film can't succeed in being visually delicious and creative, along with the other elements like performance and music. We got two more seasons to go and I can't wait. Olaf as the Gym Teacher and Detective is going to be hilarious.

I actually like how slow paced the series is. I feel like the way the show drags on and moves slowly is actually very appealing and a nice way to torture my poor soul by watching these kids getting into worst situations by the second. For me, it really accentuates the whole "unfortunate" aspect of their current situation. Same goes for how incredibly dumb Mr. Poe is!

And when I first watched the TV show, I was honestly amazed by how much it can irritate, but somehow in a good way. Mr Poe is such a fking dumbass. I think I was close to screaming when I was watching it. XD And it really makes you feel the pain, the tragedy and the injustice of those events. It's even better with next seasons.

I read the book series as a kid and I enjoyed both adaptations, but I do like the Netflix series much more because it has the room for all the little details. I don't care that the series is hard to take seriously, it works like that. A Series of Unfortunate Events is dark, but it's not grimdark, it's supposed to be often be funny. For that reason I think Neil Patrick Harris even has the better Count Olaf.

There was more detail, it was much closer to the books, giving each book basically a films worth of length. I LOVE Neil Patrick Harris's Olaf, I was immediately worried that he wasn't going to be serious enough, as much as I love him as an actor. However, I think he nailed that balance between dark humor and evil that is everything the books were.

No I'm sorry the show is darker than the film in every facet. Where the film thought that if it dressed everything in a goth and muted tones no one would notice that the actual story was softened on it's edges, the show simply presents everything as it was in the books and the humor and darkness work in tandem, thus why it is a considered a dark comedy, the novels that is and subsequently any adaption of said source material. The film nixed almost every disturbing element from the books. You conveniently don't point out how only in the show do we see monty's corpse or josephine's death. You don't point out how only in the show does Olaf pretend to stab an infant multiple times through a suitcase or how he feels up a 14 year old girl that he plans to marry. Or how when the Olaf of the show slaps Klaus it is played straight without the need to soften it with a joke quickly after. In fact, the show has quite a few somber scenes, but you glossed over and ignored them in your analysis in favor of the films versions of said scenes. Ultimately the film is pretty at first glance but once you spend time with it you realize that it doesn't have all the bite it pretends to have.

@danielbooyah6249

The film was never scary. In fact, the film has very few differences in tone when compared to the show. Both the film and the show punctuated their somber moments with comedy, which is fine since the Novels did the exact same thing. The issue with the film is that where the show in the novel may have comedy in them neither pull punches where the film always did. AS already mentioned the film chose to water down a lot of the explicitly dark elements of the novels, not because it was an artistic choice, but because it was produced by nickelodeon which notoriously only produces very safe and family friendly productions. It's not subtle to remove the murder of Gustav and replace it with a joke. That is a deliberate choice to soften the narrative. It didn't add to it nor did create any meaningful nuance, it basically dumbed it down. Film's version of Olaf was far more goofy than the shows. Are you forgetting the raptor scene? Carrey's constant goofy faces and over the top Ace Ventura Mannerisms? To each their own of course and you are entitled to your opinion of both, but I firmly believe the show is far superior to the film on any given day.

i feel like Benny brings up exactly what makes the movie darker in my opinion, the characters feel real. sure in the show you see the gruesomeness of Monty's dead body, but you never really saw his as anything more then the goofy wonka type cartoon, you never really feel what it would be like to lose him because theres no possible way to connect to a person that doesnt exist in real life. i feel like the show takes its darkness almost ironically, just look at the ways the narrator warns us about the unfortunate nature of the show and of the movie, it might just be me but the delivery in the show just feels alot like pure sarcasm as opposed to the quite serious tone that it brings to the film.

If the Netflix series had the acting of the movie, then it would be perfect !!!!

Yes, the acting in the tv series is supposed to be very wooden and exaggerated at the same time, but honestly the fact that it was on purpose doesn't make it better. It still makes it all feel very fake and surreal, and hard to get into for a lot of fans, myself included. The more realistic acting in the movie appeals to me more, as a longtime fan of the books, and I'd really been hoping the tv show would take those elements from the movie. But alas, they obviously didn't.

Also Mr. Poe was described to be a fat shorter man but the show hired a fit tall man which was frustrating to me, not the fact that he was black but that he wasn't the described physique.

Your video made me realize that.:)

At first I was doubtful of the series because the movie was such a nostalgic masterpiece for me, but I loved the show adaptation because they perfectly portrayed what happened in the books and it feels like the viewers also grew with the characters and they're so endearing tbvh

Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) was much more involved with writing and producing the series. So it makes sense that it’s closer to the books. The books have the same humor and tone as the tv show, the movie wanted to go darker and there’s nothing wrong with either. I enjoy both adaptions for different reasons. It’s nice that they are not a carbon copy. Otherwise a remake would be useless.

wish the netflix series had the same tone and acting value as the movie did.

If you compare the books to the show/movie, you get a much different opinion of the show/movie than you do if you compare the sow to the movie. The movie was as if someone only read the first 3 books and went, this is cool, we could make this a cool movie. The show was like someone read all the books and then dedicated their entire lives to making it a tvshow, but then had budget issues. the biggest problem with the show is that it is being compared to the movie.

IDK... But the show was much more like the books. Not really believable as an adult but as a child very much so. I remember reading the books and laughing at Olaf rather than being afraid. I mean I was afraid of him at some points but mainly I thought of him as a goofy mean idiot. The books are, in the plot, very dark, but in the voice very light. And that's what the show did. It took a dark plot and played it out in a more light or comedic voice/tone.

I actually feel the slower pacing for the series was almost perfect as it introduced so many details and plots, esp about the volunteers and the past. It made me want to rewatch episodes to catch details leading to the ending. I think the only time I skipped scenes were during vile villagers and Mr poe's obnoxious ness

As someone who loved the books growing up, the Netflix series may be closer to the books and a stronger adaption overall, but I personally prefer the movie, perhaps for nostalgic reasons. I loved the cast and loved Jim Carrey’s Count Olaf so much that as a young girl, I found him equally hilarious and scary, and I suppose it was hard to top that for me. I do like Patrick Warburton’s narrating though. He just has a fun tone haha.

I actually really loved the movie as a child, it was so dark and mysterious. The show is great but the movie will always have a special place in my heart

Unfortunately, most artists interpretations suck ( I have zero hope for the Artemis Fowl movie). However Coralline and a few others are some exceptions. I also think Jude Law is a better Lemony Snicket ( though he looks less like the real Lemony,) All the casting for the movie was great actually.

One of the big themes in the books from my understanding is that Lemony Snicket doesn't want you to view/read the story, as it is too tragic and unfortunate. The long dragged out scenes from the TV show don't only foreshadow future events, but they are also accurate to the books. They drag out the story to make it require more patience, like a test of willpower for the viewer. Also, Patrick Warburton's Lemony Snicket is the best portrayal I could possibly imagine. I cannot think of a singular actor that could fit the character better.

When I was about 5 or 6 my grandmother told me if I rode my bike too fast a piece of metal would fly off and hit me in the eye. Being so young I actually believed that garbage. So if you were wondering, yes, there really are people like Aunt Josephine.

Syncrocity Neil Patrick was more accurate to the books. funny at sometimes, but also realllyyy menacing. Jim carrey was overall not menacing

A Series of Unfortunate Events was the first book series I ever read. So growing up with the Jim Carrey movie I loved it, but was disappointed with how much story was actually missing, I told my aunt once when I was a child "I want to see more in a movie or a tv show or something" which brings us to the Netflix series. When I found out that it was going to be a thing, I was so excited to see what they would do. And in my opinion I absolutely love it. I love the books, I love the movie and I love the TV series. It's really hard to compare them because of how different they all are, but I love them for the individual works of art that they are. Thank you Lemony Snicket (DH) for this amazing series. I'm almost 22 and I started reading these books when I was about 8, I have even got "The world is quiet Here" and the VFD on my left ankle.

I prefer the movie version more - after much deliberation - because I like certain elements to it more; like how whenever Klaus thinks it pans to books that are relevant, and how it shows how evil and dangerous and intelligent Olaf actually is not just physically but metaphorically too. Especially in the Uncle Monty segment; I cannot tell you how engraved in my brain the shots of Olaf's silhouette approaching to kill Monty and how his sinister figure in the hallway, with only the knife illuminated, has haunted my mind when I was little. I like the casting for the movie more too, it's more down to earth and realistic. Especially Jim Carrey... I'm biased though. I agree with the fact that he balances his sinister and sometimes comedic prowess - Harris tries. It's not that I don't like the series, I do, it is good. I like how it dives into the world more, and how it takes it's time with the mystery sides of the situations; how it takes time for the Baudelaire's to work out Olaf's plans and to just expose him in general. The casting do a great job... for the most part. Are they as good as the movie's cast? No, I don't think they are. I'm not a very big fan of Neil Patrick Harris. He does an alright job, he doesn't really portray Olaf as well as Jim Carrey - unlike Carrey, Harris never really felt like as bad a threat - he tried too hard to be both sinister and comedic, it just felt petty and pathetic to me. A lot of the characters in the series were quite dumbed down and were quite irritating honestly.

And the funny thing about the books is that the transition from page to screen actually works really well.

I also get the impression that younger teens like the series while older audiences (be they adults now or younger when they watched it) prefer the movies.

Personally, I liked the actors much better in the movie. Pretty much every actor that I can think of in the movie did a superior job than their counterparts in the show, in my opinion. Especially Lemony. I really did not like Patrick Warburton as Lemony, I think he was just an all around bad choice. Everything from the way he looks, to the sound of his voice screams "not right for this part." Whereas I felt that Jude Law fit in much more smoothly. I also like the way he's written in the movie much more. I get that the show is purposefully not taking itself too seriously, but at the same time, I feel like if there's any 1 character that should remain serious it would be Lemony, the comedic relief with that character in the show just felt way too forced and unfunny for me. And in general, it just felt so much smoother when he was a quaint soft-spoken British man instead of a more stereotypical looking American man. Also, Jim Carrey was a much more believable Count Olaf. And I much prefer the way he was written in the movie as well, with both his villainous side and his comedic side being a bit more understated. In general, I liked that the comedy was more understated and subtle, but still very present in the movie. Though I can also appreciate that the show does not take itself to seriously. I felt that the movie had very good core decisions. From the set, to the actors and the way the characters were written, to the general tone of the story, I found the movie much more enjoyable. But with all that being said, the main problem with the movie was the execution. The pacing was 1000x worse than it was in the show, the transitions were bad, and they just tried to fit way too much into one single movie. Also obviously, the show, just by the nature of being a show instead of a movie follows the books much more closely, but even though the movie doesn't have the luxury of unlimited runtime, I feel that it still could have done a better job than the absolute butchering of the plot from the books that they threw together. I feel like if they had just copied the first book event for event, moment for moment, but did it in the same tone, with the same writing and casting choices they would have had enough content to fill a whole movie and they would have done it much MUCH better than the show did. All in all I have to say they're somewhere around equal. They show's execution made it much easier to follow and made it feel a lot less rushed. While some aspects of the movie felt more half-assed, the show executed almost everything perfectly with grace, even if it is a bit slow. In addition, though you can't fault the movie for this too much because it is a movie, the show does get bonus points for following the events of the books pretty accurately. While the movie had basically everything else down perfectly, from the tone, to the writing, to the casting and sets it all fit much more seamlessly. Whereas in the show a lot of the comedy and writing takes a step too far and ventures from "not taking itself too seriously" to "trying way too hard to be funny." While the writing in the movie still had its fair share of comedic relief, it was more understated and much less forced. It's like the director decided to make the decision to put all of his efforts into making sure that all the writing fit in perfectly instead of paying much attention at all to the plot and the pace. I definitely enjoyed them both, as they both got plenty of things right respectively, and I find it incredibly difficult to say that I like one better than the other because they each captured some brilliant aspects of the books, while falling short on others. Nonetheless, I highly recommend the books, the movie, and the show to all who are interested in reading or watching them.

Bearing in mind of course that Lemony Snicket in the books is a narrator and as such is open to interpretation as far as physical and vocal attributes are concerned. To say nothing of the fact that Warburton has never really done that sort of performance before and he won me over. For Olaf, I think NPH is very entertaining, but Jim Carrey definitely has an edge that I feel is sorely missing. And Timothy Spall is better too. On a side note: Daniel Handler, the author, has a lot of creative control over this new adaptation. That says a fair amount to me.

The series has fun easter eggs EX: Arthur poe who has a son named Edger poe referring to Edger Allen poe I believe. :)

In the movie, Klaus and Violet legit look like siblings. Amazing casting for all characters tbh. If the movie was a show instead, it would've been gold. Every book was so rushed into 1 movie. The show was so childish and cartoony, even though it was supposed to be bleak? Doesn't make sense

One thing you didn't discuss was the music. Thomas Newman's score for the film is fantastic and really complements the mood and atmosphere of the film.

The show’s Olaf and Lemony were done so well. I can agree that lemony could have been portrayed more mysteriously as the books literally did that. I didn’t care at all for Josephine in the show, and her redemption was short lived. But everything else the show did better, I always wondered if there was supposed to be other installments of the movie, but it’s been a while and so I’m not too hopeful on that.

Would have been hard for a second movie to adapt The Miserable Mill (the 4th book). The entire premise of that book is that, like Velma, Klaus can't see without his glasses. His glasses breaking is what started the series of events in that book since he had to go to the optometrist and was hypnotized. Klaus barely wore glasses at all in the movie. Him needing his glasses in order to work at the lumbermill wouldn't have made sense since the movie made it obvious he doesn't rely on them to see. Honestly this was one of the things I hated about the movie. Klaus wearing glasses was a *major* plot point but that detail was severely overlooked.

Wish we could’ve gotten the acting, tone, and overall presentation of the movie but in an expanded TV series format

I like the show far more... save for the song at the end of the first season, it was better in every aspect. Olaf's Troupe are supposed to have small redeeming qualities save for Esme Squalor, the movie made all of them complete monsters with no humanity, but the TV Show reveals they have minds of their own, have good qualities, and could be redeemed if they stop letting Count Olaf brow beat them (which eventually they each do in the books, unless they die first). The books need to be factored in, as some decisions and actions are heavily influenced by the books. The reason Count Olaf's disguises work on adults, is because every member of the V.F.D., Olaf included, was trained to have excellent disguise skills, so much so that when the Children end up using the techniques eventually, Olaf, Esme, and other V.F.D. members are just as tricked by them in disguise. There is a theory that Olaf's appearance and 'Lack of acting skill' are Lemony Snicket's own bias perspective (just as how the Harry Potter Books are seen through Harry's own skewed perceptions, so too are A Series of Unfortunate Events viewed through Snicket's biased views on the narrative... remember, Lemony Snicket exists in the World of his stories, and is allegedly telling the tales from accounts and research he's done)

Fingers998 The Daily Punctilio, the Volunteers Fighting Disease, and Count Omar would be so happy that you don't care about the true story, enjoy music, and like paying more for less. The movie has Olaf facing all the tortures he brought upon the children, it downplayed the roles of the Troupe, and despite having a big movie budget, it wasted most of the money on just two actors: Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep... and skimped on story. Also, since both use Catherine O'Hara in different roles, your statement becomes weakened, since the movie underused everyone except Carrey.

i think both of them did a good job, they both have aspects that keep true to the story and things that don’t but they both have an amazing take on the story. and i’ve just gotta say the anxious clown is probably one of the most important scenes lol

Yup...

I first watched the show and loved it, when I found out there was a movie I wanted to watch it immediately. And when watching it I noticed how much more realistically they made things. The children didn’t go to an island and then find their parents stuff there, they instead got a letter for example. I did love the show for how it was able to get a lot of detail, but that’s only because its a show and doesn’t have to be compacted at all like the movie. Although the show was able to give us such great characters and add depth to them, I still love the movie more, in reality you can’t really compare a show to a movie fairly for how different they are. But you made made compelling arguments to love both sides, although I may be abit bias because I love the movie, that’s just my opinion.

Honestly, I enjoyed both of them. While I like the simplicity of the movie and how in the end it is a bit more light hearted, I also like how the show took it's time to explain and add more characters. Both versions are absolutely amazing and I don't think I could choose which one I like more.

I loved the film and books when I was younger, but one thing I always felt was missing from the film was the entire story (obviously). By only covering the first three books, squeezing the later two in the middle of the first, and seemingly concluding the story at the end as opposed to leaving it open for a sequel that continues the original story, i feel like it took too many liberties. I just binge watched the Netflix show a couple days ago and it has given me everything I felt was missing from the movie. And given how much more the characters were developed, it's hard to go back and look at the totally different takes on some of them in the movie (like the hook handed man and Mr. Poe) and see them as the same character. As for Poe, he is less likable in the show but that's more accurate to how he is in the books so I consider it more canon. Olaf is of course fantastic in both.

I prefer the TV show. Nice review!

the book is actually following the story in the Netflix series

I know you said this wasn't about which was the better adaption, but the reason I like the series better is because I love the books and it is a better adaption. Because it's such a dark story, people forget that the books are actually hilarious, and I think the series is really similar in tone to the books. The books also do get darker as the story progresses, so I'm hoping the series follows that as well.

While i agree there was comedy in the books, it is not to the extent that the netflix series depicts it, which kills it for me. The netflix series is too bright. The fact that they introduce all the details we learn in the last few books about VFD very early on, and as side characters takes away from the bleakness. Instead we are given a lot of hope every episode due to the secretary's involvement. In the books we never have that. it's a lot more bleak of an outlook which makes it creepier and that much more heartwrenching. Go back and read the books recently. I did a couple weeks back and it makes the movie look like a much better adaptation overall.

I loved the movie better because of the tone the movie has over the one in the show

I've never read the books, but I must say I like the series better than the movie. The contrast between the comedic tones with the darker themes makes it a more interesting and delicious dish; whereas the movie is rather one-note with its melancholy. I find the depressing aspects of the story more pronounced after you've spent some time laughing at hilarity. Therefore the series is more effective.

Aubree Grossman To an extent I do agree with the long for vs short form aspect, but it's not like that's a hard rule. I actually call back on my example of the Shining as a perfect example, it's also a good example of superior and inferior products since there's a much more noticeable difference in quality between the 2. In case you're unfamiliar, Stephen King hated Kubrick's film so he worked to get a miniseries started. This series followed the book almost to a T and suffered for it greatly. Kubrick understood that when adapting something from a written to a visual medium, things need alteration to fit a visual medium. That being said though, this problem doesn't manifest itself nearly as much in the series of unfortunate events.

Of season 1 I enjoyed the Miserable Mill the most and in season 3 Perilous Peril, I found Slippery Slope and Grim Grotto to be a bit of a drag and not too great. I also struggled to get through the first part of episode one and it was really episode 3 "The Reptile Room: Part 1" that got me hooked.

If you don't like the show I'd advise you to look away! To be honest I prefer the Netflix show over the movie, although I like both. The show really shows the perspective of the kids, how as a kid, no one ever seems to believe you, adults always speak about things that may involve you but you don't get to hear, sometimes it feels like no adults will help you and you're alone and this is coming from a young person. I feel like the show presents a better example of that. I also think the lightheartedness and at times almost comical feel of the show is fun and could help keep everyone entertained, not that the film isn't entertaining, it is, but the way the show keeps you entertained is much more exciting to me. I also like Lemony Snicket's character way better in the show, he breaks the fourth wall which is one of my favourite things to happen in a show. Overall, I like the show better but there are some things I will agree the film does better.... Also how do you pick one over the other between Neil Patrick Harris and Jim Carrey, exactly you don't cause they're both amazing.

Dear reader, I advise you to look away. This comment might feel out of place for the majority of the population, and if you read this, than you probably have better things to do. The series, how depressing and unfortunate it might be, is, as some unstable people call it, "great". The only thing keeping _certain_ people from liking this dreadful yet entertaining show, which, because of the audience's ignorance, will sadly get a new season that will again tale the pain of the poor yet rich Baudelaire children, might be the fact that they base their happy childhood on a such miserable movie, whom I advise you to not watch at all costs if you do not want your day ruined. The tragedy of the situation might be that they belive the movie follows the books in a wonderful yet depressing way, whereas they are sure that the series do not. So, as grown up as they can be, and as masochist as they can get for liking such a poor movie, in their mind, the series of unfortunate topics must be some poorly copied version of the miserable movie. If you agree with this, than I advise you to never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never never watch the series, and live your happy life, ignoring the pain of the Baudelaire orphans for as long as the series can get.

I have to agree with you. In the video he said the movie was some what depressing but I have to diagree because each at the last episode we saw how much the characters have grow. They give the filling of being more helpless and is much more mysterious but the movie give more hope has as if nothing will get worse. Thats where it get worse from they on out, the tv show doesn't a better job of doing that. One thing i do agree on with the video is Claus is shown to be smarter and has visual has in the tv show he doesn't seem that smart though the actor is way way better.

Having read the books before, I have to say I enjoyed the show a lot more than the movie, simply because it was a lot more book-accurate, adding lots of tiny details that correspond both to the book the episode is based on, and to the general lore of the series, which is revealed a lot earlier in the show than in the books (and not at all in the movie). The books only start telling you about VFD around book 6 or 7 I think? While the show drops (not so subtle) hints from the very first minute.
