Everything Wrong With Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 05. 2020
- This movie is surprisingly bland, at times horrifying, and never really the comic adventure they seem to have been going for. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events ends up being just that... a series of unfortunate events... that are not fun to watch and are actually quite sinful. Thankfully for you... we counted all the sins so you can watch JUST that stuff here and now in one single video!
Thursday: Recent horror sins. No, not THAT recent. No... not THAT long ago! 2018, you simpletons!
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

I find it very amusing that at one point in this movie, the narrator invites you, the viewer, to jump out of an airplane.
I was wondering if I was the only one who heard that!
9:08: What a stupid question...
He's only trying to save us from a sad movie and unfortunately on the airplane where this film is being shown, there is no showing about a happy little elf anywhere in sight.
My depressed self happily taking him up on his offer
In the year 2020, leaping from an airplane is a viable and reasonable option.
Just sayin’... 😉
The Netflix series is way closer to the books, but this movie manages to capture the strange vibes of the series better.
I haven't watched the movie or read the books, but I'm pretty sure the Netflix series has strange vibes too.
PsychicGirl Netflix version gave me Wes Anderson vibes
Yah, the Netflix series decided to add in a bunch of cut away gags to lighten up the mood a bit. I know some of them existed in the side books, but I kinda thought it destroyed the whole mystery aspect of the series. I would have much rather liked if they left them out during the main episodes, then showed them all together in ine final bonus episode after the last episode.
Agreed
This is honestly not even remotely correct, and I reread the books before each season of the show came out.
Fun Fact: Liam Aiken who plays Klaus was supposed to be Harry Potter. He actually won the part and lost it the next day when they decided that they only wanted British actors. lol
That’s gotta be rough
Are his eyes green? It bothered me that Harry’s eyes were not green and Lily’s eyes were brown.
Oof
@@Capri_00 I'm sorry but Lily' eyes were blue
@@hathuphuong5347 hmmmmm
When you put narration as a sin for a book filled with Snicket breaking the fourth wall.
Yeah, the narraration was an important part of the books, so it makes sense that it would be in the movie.
You mean to tell me that CinemaSins is just nitpicking for entertainment and aren't real critics of films? Shocker, they've only said this a couple hundred times. These are the same people who've sinned movies for casting certain actors and nothing more.
Absolutely baffled at how nearly 15 years later Netflix managed to find an actress to play violet who looks almost exactly the same as the girl who played her in the movie
Her VOICE even sounds similar
Same. I was kind of hoping they would have Emily Browning (movie Violet) cameo as an older version of TV Violet
**Ding!**
It’s not that hard
She looks like the girl from 9 lives
The books are also dark as hell. They really walked the line between absurd and twisted, and pushed the envelope for what you could get away with in children’s literature. I always loved them as a kid and the movie actually toned the darkness WAY down.
Reality Weasel the series only have a fraction of the darkness shown
@@PolyBiBadger I watched the series, and although it began really silly, it got darker and more layered as it progressed. I only read one book of the series, the one at the boarding school, but I really felt the series ended up bringing home a very dark, nuanced story, with a bittersweet closure, and feels, damn the feels.
Sad but Laughing I completely agree
@@PolyBiBadger just a question: vc é br?
Sad but Laughing ?
12:22 I guess wooden things and hollow tin cans are the limit to Sunny's teeth. Thick metal bars are too much.
The netflix series is the best rendition. But call it nostalgia, I really like the movie. It covered the first three books really well and I get close to weepy when they're reading the letter from their parents at the end.
i agree, me too. i love it!
Totally! Huge part of my childhood
@K i agree, it was NOT loyal to the books
@Bwa Bwa Yoshi being faster doesn't mean being better, they cut almost everything in the books to make a movie based on 3 books, 3 big thick books with so much detail, the movie sucks ass
Taha Pournosrat I believe both are pretty great.
"This is a brilliant time to walk out of the airplane showing this film"
Did he just suggest suicide?
Triggered!
My thought exactly.
Congratulations, you've found the joke.
It would seem so yes
You've never read the series then...
This was fun. I hope TVSins gets around to doing the Netflix version at some point.
Obinna Onyeije that would be nice
It was good

How tf did you comment this 15 hours ago
@@williamkelley1971 I'm on the Patreon.
You sinned him for being a villain that does deplorable things. That’s like, the point?
I don't know, I thought villains usually gave their enemies flowers and invited them for tea and cake. Well, some probably do, after they put poison in the tea and cake.
@@LadyOnikara That's the affably evil classification. TV tropes is a fun site to read.
Yeah, it feels a lot like the most evil villain in the world contest sketch by SNL. I think the problem is kids movies tend to have villains who do comically evil things, like take over the world. Not creepy evil things like marry a child and murder her siblings for their money.
Same thing with mentioning that Olaf should not have had custody over the kids… like yes exactly, it’s literally a running theme of the series that adults suck sometimes and Mr. Poe is an idiot.
@@Gcsmith12 this ^^^^
7:01 I know the books don't matter to CinemaSins, but for anyone who's curious and doesn't know, the books had numerous times where the narrator broke the fourth wall or interrupted the story. I suppose that the movie tried to emulate that effect while adapting the exact things he said for movie context.
Yeah.
Yuppp
Yeppers
Adrianna Welch yuppidy doo daj
Yeheyyy
"minus 5 points to gryffindor"
Violet is CLEARLY a ravenclaw.
Klaus is a more of a Ravenclaw, I always thought Violet had the energy of a Gryffindor
@@RosieHip24 ehh, every non Slytherin house hold reasoning are too loose to properly sort people into them. Most people in Gryffindor fall under Hufflepuff's classification really. And there's always a loose reason why a smart character isn't in Ravenclaw. Honostly, I think the sorting Hat generally just picks the house the Student is wanting to be in, which is why they always are excited that they got the house they want.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 no way, Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs are not the same. There's a totally different energy pushing each group.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 It is definitely confirmed that the sorting hat takes choice into account (hence why harry gets put into Gryffindor despite his affinity for Slytherin character traits.)
Joke
One thousand years ago...
* Slytherin and Gryffindor start a fight... again*
Ravenclaw: Shut up! Boys, I'm trying to read.
Hufflepuff: Come on, Rowena, don't be such a grump. I'm gonna go grab us some popcorn.
Ravenclaw: wha...
To Beatrice:
Darling, Dearest, Dead.
Too real
The slippery slope was
DEAR BEATRICE
When I met you you were pretty
And I was lonely
And now
I'm pretty lonley
But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby
To Beatrice:
Our love broke my heart,
And stopped yours.
2:43 how did cinema sins miss the part the narrator says “this is a great opportunity to walk out of the theatre, living room or AIRPLANE” HOW DO YOU EVEN WALK OUT OF AN AIRPLANE...they only play movies when they’re flying o.0
Open the emergency exit door (:
I’ve always loved that joke
@@sparrowskeleton1831 some idiots don't seem to understand satire, including Cinemasin

A movie about two orphans meeting a guy called Olaf? Sounds like frozen to me
but what about sunny? if its a joke please dont woosh me
@@mantisenjoyer9239 yeah it is meant to be a joke
@@wandamaximilf3324 pls explain im a brainlet
@@mantisenjoyer9239 Well in Frozen there is a character called Olaf that meets Anna and Elsa (who are orphans) so the two stories Linda sound similar
i was talking about how he said 2 instead of 3, he missed sunny
I really liked this film as a kid.
This film is a gateway drug to creepy films that disconcert you without jumpscares now I really enjoy that kind of film/book.
Can you recommend more? Not necessarily for kids
@@motozulli In the dark crystal (again, sort of for kids but let's be honest) there's a sort of disconcerting eating scene where they use puppetry to be all disturing.
The woman in black does have jumpscares but also uses other methods of scaring you and creeping you out.
You can also try really, really old horror filmsbecause they're still creepy but not quite as realistic as modern ones.
As well as films, try Roald Dahl's Tales of the unexpected.
@@motozulli if you’re into anime at all I’d recommend Dusk Maiden of Amnesia for exactly this kind of dissonance. Unnerving all the way through and straight up creepy as hell at times without being gory or jumpy. Perfect physiological horror
@@broadwaybibliophile1802 cool thanks, I'll look at it
@@lokephoenix1039 neat, thanks
I remember the part with leeches absolutely terrified me as a kid
I watched this movie really long ago and i only knew i watched it when he went over the part with the leaches... (had that feeling that ive seen it, but wasn't sure until that part)
The leeches freaked me out quite a bit too, but also in general the hurricane really scared me. It was scary in and of itself but it also gave me a lot of lonely anxious feelings as a child. Since the movie came out in 2004 I must have been about 7 or so.
I read the books and saw the movie as a child and the leaches were the scariest part all around. Gave me a weird irrational fear of swimming after eating food
I don't think I was scared of the leeches but that was literally the only scene I remembered from the movie when I rewatched it years later so it made an impression
this movie made me have a diet. due to leeches
The joke about the elf was actually awesome cuz there was an elf related movie playing at the time, and it actually confused the hell out of most anyone in the theater xD
I expected that duck to yell out "Aflac!" as it was flying away.
Same
Fun fact, that duck actually IS the Aflac duck. For some reason Aflac decided to team up with the movie
Agreed
First time I watched the movie, that's exactly what my dad said when that happened xDD
The biggest sin is that they tried to make this a one-movie comedy instead of individual, serious movies like Harry Potter
ourWorld Lucy The movie was a flop. It would have been a really bad move on the producers behalf. Which is a shame, because I loved this film! I’m obsessed with anything Lemony Snicket.
The series did it better
Alexis Pastrana definitely
these books had so much potential as movies and the netflix series is testament to that. they deserved a major film franchise just as much as the likes of harry potter, twilight and the hunger games did
Yeah the netflix series is so much better
"jim carrey has an unrealistically long antenna on a communcation device" cliche. ding
@@LucyAdroit Like Tom Cruise on a motorcycle.
Lol umm ace ventura?.... and .. Sonic? Lol
“In the eye of a window pane, there’s an eyeball.” Am I the only one who noticed that? Or am I just too much of a theatre kid for CZcams?
maybe he just really likes hamilton. lmao
I finally found a comment talking about the reference!
Hehe I get it XD
This is the exact comment I was looking for!! I listened to hurricane right after I heard it🤣🤣
I noticed too!
I have a love/hate relationship with this channel. I love the layout, design, comedy, but I hate when he tear apart the movies I love😭😭😭😭 This movie is everything
Same
... i mean, that's kinda the meta of the channel.
and if you know you're gonna hate dude sinning your favorite movies he might have a video for: don't watch them then.
it's not like he's gonna betray the whole fucking identity of his channel because you happen to like a movie. if he's got a video of a movie, you should already know EXACTLY what's up.
I feel like this channel is perfect for movies you have seen casually.
Once you know too much about a movie, you see how some things are taken out of context and it becomes triggering.
In the end it doesn't matter, it's all for laughs.
@@leeman27534 I said what I said poo❤️
@yuta Thank u.
None of them are actual blood relatives to the kids. They are friends of the parents. It was in the will
It sucks the movie didn’t elaborate about why hes in the will
More like fellow members of the same cult
Wasn't he like their fourth cousin thrice removed or something like that? I could swear I remember a line with Wormtail forgetting their actual relation to him
@@tteottaninguiayami I think he was somehow an uncle of someone too
@@tteottaninguiayami Because no one knew the truth. These people kept getting passed off as family members, but they weren't related to the children. That's not revealed until much later in the series, though, and this movie only covered the first three books.
The biggest flaw is that Olaf was mean to the kids when he just wanted their fortune. He should have been nice to them and caused them to let their guard down and then murdered them. Edit: thanks for all the likes!
WTF!?
Woah
I like your style
There’s actually more to the story
That'd be rather funny if it was just one book in the series and that happened.
Listening to the narrators voice and it not being Patrick Warburton is just weird
Ikr
Ikr it took me FOREVER to get used to Patrick Warburton when I first watched the show because I was so used to the silhouette and Jude Laws voice but now I’ve watched the show at least 3 times already, it’s difficult to switch from Warburtons on set acting to the random voice cuts
For anyone who is wondering- the movie is a mix of a few of the books in reverse order-the marriage is in the first book.
Also in the book and the Netflix adaptation the marriage is a lot less creepy and it's not really a main event in either
The intro to this movie almost lead to my sister and her friends leaving altogether, thinking they had walked into the wrong theatre room. The narrator kicked in saying it isn't the actual movie once they were right at the door to leave lol.
Meta
LupusGelos WHERE WERE YOU DURING ALL THIS?!
A few years ago I watched this with my mum on Netflix. Because of the introduction we kept thinking we clicked on the wrong film and would exit the film to double check
@@butwereyoureadyforagorilla6006 same happened to me and it went on for so long i got pissed and just left it for so long lol
I remember getting the DVD from the library and having to stop and double check that the previous borrower put the right DVD in the case.
So you’re telling me that’s not the Aflac duck’s first acting job?
The duck is actually played by Godfried
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. Absolutely terrifying as a kid. The atmosphere is off the charts.
"...Beef that is ROASTED!"
😂😂😂
how did he just skip over being told to walk out of an airplane and kill himself by a narrator?
Because it was an intentional joke in the movie.
Yea i noticed that
Airplanes aren’t always in the sky you know
@MR. GOONCH when they show movies on seat screens they are
CinemaSins gets one Sin from me, Not removing a sin for this: "Puttanesca" "What did you call me?"
Why the first when I head that word in the movie, I thought it said Puttana?
"Puttanesca" literally comes from "puttana" since it's a cheap pasta recipe supposedly invented in a whorehouse in Naples. Napoli people are weird sometimes.
@@LucyAdroit Then that's why Olaf was a bit offended
@@francescopaolodinoto lol I'm from Naples and it's kinda true. We love giving things weird names. We're very creative people
YES!! I was thinking the same thing lol
10:02 Was the use of "site" instead of "sight" a subtle reference to Aunt Josephine's obsession with grammar and word choice? I can't imagine a typo like that getting past the team, especially Aaron.
It probably was
Clever spot
klevar
It has to be, knowing them and their puns
Ok one thing i really like about this show is how big the setting is, it feels like every three episodes they are on a different continent ( im talking about the netflix show btw)
I like that about it too.
"COUNTLESS movies have told me it's actually when they say 'I do.'"
Well that's your problem, you're currently watching a count-ful movie.
Nice
Get out
Dude...... 😐 🤦🏾♂️Stop telling them uncle jokes🙏🏾😅
Boooooo
@@LucyAdroit or perhaps "fourth cousin three times removed"
I forgot at first but Lemony Snicket wrote the books with the narrator part hence Jude Law cutting in. It led to a lot of funny parts throughout the book series.
and next to zero funny parts throughout the movie
Like in the reptile room where there was an entire page of never evers?
And great parts of the TV show too
Abby R that and that one part when they were falling down an elevator shaft and there were literally just 2 solid black pages were iconic
I did not know till this video that Lemony Snicket was played by Jude Law
When Aunt Josephine died I was upset because I really liked her
Olaf: You should know by now you cant have everything you want
Also Olaf: Now give me what I want
I like how this movie just accepts a child being married to her guardian. Even if it wasn’t incest it would raise some incest flags.
Not even just incest, but a fucking 14 year old
I'm not sure if they were even related in the books, I think Count Olaf was just lying his way in like with the Quagmires. Either way it IS WRONG, VERY VERY WRONG.
@@electromagneticpsychopath4973 To be fair there is a few places where you can marry underage if given parental consent.
@@Dragannora they're not. He just became their guardian.

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

@@reannagordon They got that ONE adaptation right but I can't vouch for anything else.
@@Briar_Kerbo if their version of Avatar is as good as the cartoon maybe the positive feedback will help them gain some of their subscribers back. It looks like it’ll come out early 2023 so maybe a trailer will release towards the end of the year. I think filming is supposed to wrap up this month.
@@reannagordon That sounds fun! Thanks for the heads up!
I can just hear Aunt Josephine correcting his description of her death as a "haunting site" to "sight" lol

*All the passengers die from the depressurization*

@@romulusnr I guess you watched the same video I got a notification for earlier, btw they were flying low at 10,000 feet which I believe it breathable. Oxygen masks in planes are only meant to last around 15 minutes so a plane can lower its altitude for passengers to breathe without the masks. You may already know that and just wasted my time but oh well such is life.

*Cinemasins has spoken*
"Ah! Sudden Wormtail!" Best moment of my day, thank you
The problem with adapting A Series of Unfortunate Events is that it's a book that, among other things, makes fun of repetitive children's books with formulaic plots by writing a parody series of books with repetitive formulaic plots then having the writer's voice (Lemony) literally act as a character to let us in on the joke. Lemony is both a sincere character and the way the writer give us his darkly comic satire (he sometimes does this through the adult characters in the story, but it's mostly through Lemony). That's hard to adapt into film, cause you can't just have Jude Law or Patrick Warburton talking at you the entire movie. I think NPH did the right thing when he had VFD characters start being a much bigger part of the plot from the start so that they could take on some of that role of adding in the dark comedy and satire while being actual characters (and I think his casting of Lemony and his decision to actually show Lemony following the story rather than just on a typewriter was also great). But ultimately, it's just hard to adapt.
I read the books a long time ago, and I've never really thought about the themes or "point" behind the books.
The books are actually what taught me what things like a mixed bag and small potatoes are, in a memorable way. "Step 1: place a bag in a bowl. Step 2: mix it around. Then you will have a mixed bag." Definitely taught me more than any children's books.
Carrey as “stephano” and “captain sham” still kills me to this day! While NPH did a great job as an even wider range of Olaf disguised in the netflix series, I would have loved to see Carrey’s takes on all of them!
Honestly, I preferred the movie casting, but everything else in the series. Carrey was just able to give off this quiet menace that NPH didn't.
@@AZDfox well, this was a properly funded and directed movie. So by that nature the Actors would come across as better fit than ones who where hired for a low budget Netflix series.
Well yes most of the movies casting is great you do have Violet staying the same. And the tv show was 100 percent better in every way. To keeping to the themes of the books and holding that mystery. But I do prefer the tv Olaf only because he is written better.
@@aidanmullard8508 the netflix show was written by the original author as a "director's cut" so the writing ended up being better (and complete) compared to the movie.
@@deet917 I found it more delightfully off kilter than the movie. Movie was ok but didn't have the strong weirdness that the show did. And the longer format allowed for more emotional pain at yet another death and yet another horrible situation. I swear that show was game of thrones for kids. Soon as you get attached to someone they die, anytime you think how something could turn out good it goes sour. it's relentlessly fun in that
It’s never actually confirmed who started the fire.
it actually wasn’t and it was super weird cause we know it had to be someone from VFD because of the spyglass being able to set thing on fire and refract light.
@@mintchip5763 that part is just exclusive to the show. To add there were TWO spyglasses used to burn down the house in the show. Prevailing theories are the Sinister Duo or the parents did it themselves because of complicated plots.
It was a sacrifice. This movie is dark and deep
The show helps with this a little. Right after the scene at the opera, when Lemony said goodbye to Beatrice, we see Olaf and Esme looking down at them. When Esme says the "Beatrice will pay for this," Olaf replies: "Oh no. She'll burn."
@@haydenpolsky995 actually Esme also says "if I knew that this would've brought us back together I would've orphaned them myself" and Olaf also denies doing it.
This is my favorites childhood movie! Its the reason I actually read, I started reading the Series of Unfortunate events to understand it better and re watch the movie many times to see what I missed.
I understand why you would count this as sins, but every thing counted as a sin is completely intentional.
@@WritingSch You know it's a comedy channel right? It's purposefully nitpicking things that are utterly irrelevant. It's not meant to be seen as serious critique.
@@Lurmmings Oops. I'd never seen this channel before. I did think it was mostly exagerated, but I've also seen people nit-pick seriousky.
@@Lurmmings Actually when they first started doing it, it was a bit more legit with some really good critiques with just a couple of funny nitpicks....but I guess this is easier. I still watch it from time to time.
maximum ride I haven’t thought about Maximum Ride in so long oh wow 🥺 thanks for the nostalgia ❤️
@maximum ride wait..are you saying that is a sin is intentional it doesn’t count as a sin cause that would be a great loophole!
as someone who read the books as a kid, this vid really goes to show how much context you need to understand why the movie is the way it is. From the grammar humor to the child bride plot, you just... gotta know lemony snicket's books. their story actually gets worse through the rest of the series.
You...know he reads the books right? That’s the point, he’s saying if you hadn’t read them, you wouldn’t get it and that you shouldn’t have homework to enjoy a movie
No, I’m pretty sure he said he never read the books.

As someone that doesn't give a fuck that you read the books let me just tell you that you're making yourself look like an asshole talking about how you're better than everyone else because you "read the books". This movie is a huge piece of shit as were the books so I guess they have that in common. Did you get the context you were looking to find?
"Why does violet tie her hair back"

7:37 Only someone who is both Immortal and doesn't feel pain or is a Masochist would build a house like that.
Jeremy should count himself lucky he's just doing the movie. In the books and the show Olaf says something to the tune of wanting Violet to perform her 'wifely duties'. Now THAT'S skeevy.
Not to mention the show has him say "I'll touch anything I want." talk about creepy
This movie had so much potential... Perfect casting, perfect look and perfect tone, shame that the chose to cram a whole trilogy in it. I still think that it could have been waaay better than the netflix adaptation
The pacing was this movies biggest problem 😫
Yeah I was a huge fan of the books. Read all 13 many many times, a bit of a purist, but I still do have a soft spot for this movie for all the reasons you listed. I would’ve been happier if they’d just done the first book faithfully and not tried to cram in 3 (of 13 no less) and give it the happy ending it didn’t actually have. But look, style, tone, casting, all way on point!
Whoa, _trilogy_ ?! _Netflix Series_ ?!
I'll be back in 2 months, thanks!
Amelia Ringqmqm
We a
Paul Kelly personal opinion, the Netflix adaptation was good. Good casting, sets, and good story, compared to the movie.
I remember reading this book series as a kid and becoming so enthralled with the whole concept of them essentially "Macgyvering" their way out of every bad situation they found themselves in. When I had first heard of the Netflix reboot I was skeptical because of the current trend of every Film Company deciding to reboot so many already perfectly good movies and then ruining them. Rather than pay homage to the original idea/concept and promise to bring new life to an already amazing story, they would completely miss the mark on so many potentially good remakes. With this in mind I decided to rewatch this movie and reread the series, but doing that now as an adult made me realize just how dark much of the series is while also having a morbid sense of humor. This also allowed me to appreciate the reboot for it's attempt to still be humorous while still following closer to the original source material. Both the Movie and Netflix adaptations have things that make them amazing in their own right, they're still entertaining in their own style, personality, and presentation by offering us two uniquely different experiences.
In the eye of the window pane, there's an eyeball!

Why would we put children on an attractive scale.
Cinema Sins: When is Hermonie Granger considered Hot.
It's funny because she is explicitly isn't in the source material.
Ben Jaming Haha
@@kylepessell1350 To be fair, when Harry Potter first started she looked like a weird nerd. It took so long to finish all the movies that she was an adult by the end of it and grew up into an attractive woman. Not something they really planned on or could control. Now, if you thought she was a hot 12 year old though, I don't really know what to say to that....
Kyle Pessell No, Hermione is not “explicitly unattractive” in the books. It never says that anywhere. Having an overbite and bushy hair (which I assume is why you say this) does not automatically mean somebody is unattractive. Besides, she loses her overbite in the 4th book.
@@BossGalka let's just say it, Emma wattson was a cute kid (not in a creepy way) but she became a super hot woman.

Good thing I made a supercut of Cinemasins’ sinning of logos, which he himself loved!
14:10 Re: Neil Patrick Harris
Correct, and much as I love Jim Carrey, NPH *KILLED* that role through that entire (very faithful, and well executed) adaptation.
I totally agree
"Ah, sudden Wormtail!" I thought the same thing when I rewatched it this year
I actually like this movie better as an adult. You really see how fucked the situation is and how fucking vile the adults are, and actually acknowledge how weird it is now that you're not a kid. Not a great movie but enjoyably absurd
Okay but can we just agree that the soundtrack is phenomenal?
Yup! Great soundtrack!
It's perfect.
Belle O'Brightside agreed and the video game as actually pretty cool too
ABSOLUTELY. Thomas Newman is a genius. On the audio commentary of the movie, even while he’s completely trashing the movie, Daniel Handler still manages to mention how great the score is.
“Through the refraction and convergence of light”

Arson only implies a fire was started on purpose, Arson does not describe the method used to start the fire.
@@coreyfrank506 I think the logic is more so saying this is a phenomenon that practically never happens out of nowhere. It generally would be a fire started on purpose.
I love this film. It used to creep me out a bit when I was a kid, but I still rewatched it countless times. Never gets old.
Hol up, they tried to fit MULTIPLE of the books into one movie!
8:23 Good, you should be angry. This is how Olaf always got away with his schemes. Relying on the stupidity of the adults looking after them, and using that to his advantage.
From what I gather, that's also a reference to many abuse/criminal situations children face and the adults who don't believe them.
The point of the books was to show people that not even is plain cut good and bad, not everything in the world is perfect, everyone does bad things, you don't get a happy ending all the time and that children are often ignored and pushed aside because adults thing they know more on every subject
@@wyrenfire very true, there are even some (albeit very very rare) parts of the books that suggest that olaf wasnt always so shitty. people give the books shit for relying on the stupidity of the characters but that was a big part of the point
@@masync183 its almost like peopele are too stupid to get it or in denial of their own stupidity....i count myself amongst people.
Yeah this sin is just bad.
Honestly CSins has degraded in quality for years. Oddly enough that coincided with them going to MUCH longer episodes than the original bite size ones. And the narrators voice has even been obviously sped up at times and the audio editing is breakneck. At some point the writers of this webseries decided that the more pithy insulting words they could put in a line, the better, and the more things they could be totally anal about, the better there too.
This movie has a beautiful aesthetic at the very least.
Yup
It portrays the atmosphere of the original books really well
Thomas Newman's music in it was one of his all-time biggest Oscar snubs
H3LIUM Same thing I said 👏🏽👏🏽
a whole generation of emos were raised solely on the influence of this movie's aesthetics
"She's old enough to marry with the permission of her Guardian! And who's her guardian? ME!"
Count Olaf = Ted Nugent
Or any other hebephilic senator.
But to be far though, back then, your teen years were your first adult years. Child labor laws and compulsory schooling along with stranger danger (and good ol fashioned nostalgia) caused adults to feel entitled to smother their kids for longer periods, hence now why teens are seen as "oversized toddlers". And why early-20-somethings are being patronized and targeted by socio-political groups.
In the words of Carlin: "If you wanna do your kids a favor, LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!"
@@neonfroot what was the point of this comment
@@koala201211
Im talking about the delayed maturity of post-modern society. People complain about society being "youth-obsessed". But thats only true in aesthetic. As in, how boomers assume youth is.
In reality, young people are being barred from the world bc people fear loss of innocence.
Children amd young adults are only seen as "cute puppy dogs" and are only loved as long as they accept the social role of "innocence/idealism". Children are not allowed to want money, not allowed to know racial castes, not allowed to question religions, etc.

5:30 You get TEMPORARY custody when children get fostered during an emergency. Literally knew kids who were picked up at a fire station for emergency fostering
Hmm

For everyone who's confused, count olaf was disguising the wedding as a play. Everyone thought it was just a performance.

12:42 He didn’t mispronounce it. He tried to say the French word “surprise”. Like how he said “enchanté” at the beginning, he’s a wannabe actor.

This movie is not what Beatrice died for.
Imaooooo
That’s a very fantastic declaration
Maybe the show is 🤫 I LOVE the show
I'm the 100th to LIKE your comment xD
I wish I could erase my memory just to read again all the Beatrice revelation
I watched this movie when I was like 8 & Aunt Josephine's death scene TERRIFIED me.
(and maybe still does)
I like how the series in Netflix is way closer to the book. It does explain some small details I used to ask when I was a kid. What caught my interest now as an adult is it gives us a unique angle between Snicket and Beatrice story. However, the kid in me will always love the 2004 version of ASOUE. Particularly how we can't see Snicket's face as he narrates the story and continues to give a mysterious vibe every time he types in his typewriter. Even if I don't quite understand the entire story of ASOUE when I was a kid, it gives me something to hold on.
Also I just recognized it a few days ago the reason why I love most Aunt Josephine because she was portrayed by Meryl Streep. ❤️❤️❤️
The thing that gets me the most when you compare the movie to the Netflix show is that really they aren’t all that different. Jim Carrey and NPH are playing similarly over the top characters, the house is just as gross in both adaptations, the actors all look their parts, and the world is just as stylized and child-gothic in both.
I think the reason one works more than the other is simply the FLAVOR of each thing- Jim Carrey and NPH are playing the same character in similar ways, but Neil is generally more approachable and less jarring. The world is just as stylized in both, but the Netflix show has a little more of a fantastical cartoony vibe without going crazy. And Patrick Warburton is a MUCH better narrator, in my opinion.
Also, they tried to cram 3 books into a movie instead of 1 per movie, and Netflix took time.
True
To me Carrey was too Carrey as Olaf- Harris put his own spin on him, and since he had more time to flesh him out, feels more genuine.
I couldn't take Carrey as a serious threat to the kids.

He was literally the leader of an improv acting troupe...
Also, the narrator is important because the story is actually about the life of the narrator trying to find the orphans and following an investigation of what happened to them to find where they ended up years later.
First time here at CinemaSins?
The problem with the story being about the narrator trying to find the orphans is that the movie does NOTHING to show that, and until the end all the cuts to Lemony Snicket are just confusing, and it's not like its mysterious and a big reveal, there is no reveal, and it's not mysterious, so while the cuts might mean something to someone who knows the series and has read the books, they add nothing to the movie, and just take away from an already bad representation of the story.
@@thedragonmaster3775 The narrator makes it clear at the beginning he's investigating the story of the Baudelaires and documenting what he and his colleagues find. What did people think he was typing for?
@@MarzipanPie23 Oh, I didn't remember that part. Still, they do it in such a way that it just breaks story, it's not a smooth transition to Snickett whenever it is, it just feels like those moments are randomly stuck wherever the writers could fit the extra run time.
Thedragon Master i 100% this movie was clunky and poorly done. I LOVED the book series and really wanted it to be good when it came out. I don't hate it as much as mosh I think. I was just pointing out there is a justification for the narrator from the beginning. He narrates in the intro that he's been investigating the story of the orphans for years and that every step of the way it gets worse and worse. The stories depressing vibe is based on the depression of the narrator himself, it's a pretty major part of the story actually.
I don't like how they so "we don't know the exact cause of the fire" when Klaus ends up discovering the cause at the end.
6:23 and they successfully changed the switch, diverting the train saving themselves, causing the train to derail at high speed killing all 247 people on board.
that was a PRR Class T1 4-4-4-4 Duplex. that thing weighs close to 1 million poinds and has, well had, a top speed of over 100 MPH. so throwing that switch wouldnt have just killed the orphans. It would have also derailed the train killing the Engineer, the Fireman and a large ammount of the passangers onboard
"wow bad things keep happening" well it seems like... its a series... of unfortunate... events... meant to be awful btw, even the narrator point this very thing out
To be fair, he also points out there's actually more fortunate events than unfortunate if you think about it.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 the guy himself points out how awful the unfortunate events are! there are some "luck" yeah but in very dire situations

@@NC_EDGERUNNER what about "Liar Liar", "The Truman Show", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", or "Man on the Moon"? I know I'm forgetting at least a couple, but Jim Carrey gets a bad rep because of the many silly movies he's done, but people tend to forget the masterpieces, I guess because there's such a fewer number of them.
“This goes on for some time.”
Basically the whole series.
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.

Watch the Netflix version! It covers the whole series.

i didn't read the books, but the movie deeply intrigued me as a kid and some scenes stuck in my head for all these years. I'm so glad it available to stream finally.
I've never read the books or seen the series so idk but I honestly love the movie
7:13 "Everything happens for a reason" is like, the exact opposite of the point of the books.
You should do the Netflix A Series of Unfortunate Events. It’s really good, but there are tons of things that are worth sinning.
I saw it to, it was good.
Like all the times they did definitions of words
@Anthony Scott, okay but them defining the words was accurate to how every so often throughout the book series Lemony Snicket would actually cut from the story for a brief moment to define certain words.
On tv sins
It would have to be done on tv sins.
Cinemasins: I’ve never read the book:
Me yelling at every sin in this video: YEAH NO SHIT
Chase Pinheiro saaaaaaaaame literally more than half the sins are IN the books 🤣
😂😂 it’s supposed to be weird and over the top and creepy. Its a metaphor for how crappy society treats kids
I never liked the books personally. I tried reading them once and I felt like I was reading a book for 3 year olds. It was so incredibly dumbed down I was bored to tears. The only thing this series has going for it is quirkiness and talking in an interesting manner.
Rule #something of Cinemasins: The books do not matter
America's Next Top Mannequin true but his main issue is how creepy count Olaf is with the whole child bride thing and that’s like, the whole point of his character. AND it happens in the first book so then it’s like “whoa WAIT this guy gets WORSE?!”
I do realize that the viewpoint of someone who hasn’t read the books is important since the movie should be able to appeal to them as well, but some of the points based around things like narration and ways in which the guardians tend to fail based on their careless obsession over the wrong details come straight from the books. I guess you could explain them away as aspects that don’t translate well enough from book to film but that’s a struggle that might never really be solved.
Narrator: No one knows how the bouldalaire fire happened.
An hour later: Klous finds a piece of glass that was angled to burn the bouldalaire mansion.
the narrator keeps interrupting bc that’s how it is in the books, it’s like it’s own character... not that this movie is a good representation of them LOL
The problem is that so much of the point of the narrator is the fact that we learn more about him and his connection to the story, even meeting members of his own family and learning about his connection to the orphans. Here... we don't.
The Netflix show does a much better job of letting the audience relate to Lemony Snicket.
Justin i agree, i think i commented this though bc he didn’t like the narrator interrupting LOL; or at least that’s what i got from it It was 4 months ago i don’t remember lmao
