I didn’t like it. Well, let me start with the positives. The kids were cute and liked the way they interacted with each other in the story. They stood up for each other and got along. That was the plus.
\nThe negative was Jim Carrey’s character was characterised in one interview as “evil but likeable” which was what they were going for. I didn’t like this. Count Olaf was a murderer, materialistic, and he attempted to marry his 14 year old ward to get money. There was nothing funny or likeable here at all. I found the story a bit too creepy for children.
\nThe set was also very dark, like the Batman movies, which to me was also too creepy for kids.
\nThe plot started developing mysteries and questions which were never answered. I hate that.
\nSo I didn’t like this movie except for the interesting costumes. I think Hollywood really thought they have a winner on their hands (which they very well might by theeir standards) judging from the all star cast. It stars Jim Carrey, Jude Law, Meryl Streep and has cameos by Luiz Guzman, Cedric the Entertainer, Catherine O’Hara and Dustin Hoffman to name a few.
\nMaybe I would like it better if it were not a kid’s movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
