An unfortunate film.
This is one of the most disappointing films that I have seen in a long while. Although there were some good supporting performers and some stunning sets, the script is weak, you never get a chance to know or care for the children, and Jim Carrey as 'Count Olaf' is just not intimidating as a villain. Overall, the whole film seemed to be lacking in substance, depth, and character development.
