snicket
robert k. elder of the "chicago tribune" praised rick heinrichs's production design and jim carrey for having a balanced performance as a scene stealer. elder called the film "exceptionally clever, hilariously gloomy and bitingly subversive." desson thomson from "the washington post" reasoned over a fellow film-goer's characterization of count olaf, "olaf is a humorless villain in the book. he's not amusing like carrey at all. to which i would counter: if you can't let carrey be carrey, put someone boring and less expensive in the role. in his various disguises he's rubbery, inventive and improvisationally inspired. i particularly liked his passing imitation of a dinosaur." ty burr, writing in "the boston globe", observed, "director brad silberling has essentially made a tim burton movie without the weird shafts of adolescent pain. at the same time, silberling's not a hack like chris columbus, and "snicket" has more zip and inspired filmcraft than the first two "harry potter" films. the film's no masterpiece, but at least you're in the hands of people who know what they're doing. the movie, like the books, flatters children's innate sense that the world is "not" a perfect place and that anyone who insists otherwise is trying to sell you something. how you deal with the cognitive dissonance of a $125 million hollywood picture telling you this is up to you. at least there are no lemony snicket happy meals. yet." internet reviewer james berardinelli felt that "the film is first and foremost a fantasy, but there are dark currents running just beneath the surface. i give silberling credit for not allowing them to swallow the film. "lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events" manages to remain witty throughout." roger ebert gave a mixed review: "jim carrey is over the top as count olaf, but i suppose a character named count olaf is over the top by definition. i liked the film, but i'll tell you what. i think this one is a tune-up for the series, a trial run in which they figure out what works and what needs to be tweaked. the original "spider-man" was a disappointment, but the same team came back and made "spider-man 2", the best superhero movie ever made." scott foundas of "variety" gave a negative review, criticizing the filmmakers for sacrificing the storyline in favor of visual elements such as set design and cinematography. he wrote, ""a series of unfortunate events" suggests what "mary poppins" might have looked like had tim burton directed it. not surprisingly, burton's longtime production designer rick heinrichs was responsible for the sets, while ace emmanuel lubezki (burton's "sleepy hollow") contributed the expressionistic lighting schemes."
