Top Ten Series of Unfortunate Events Characters (Movie)

Well since I’ve already done a movie review and several book reviews, and have more reviews along the way, I thought it right to make a list featuring the series of unfortunate events. I don’t want to keep making new material for this one series (I like a lot more books and movies I want to make lists for) but I like to make these lists with the product still fresh on my mind, so we’ll just have to manage, and I certainly don’t mind making another list, as I have more planned.

10:Hook Handed Man

The hook handed man wasn’t much like his book character, but I’m surprised most of Olaf’s henchmen actually made it into the movie anyway.

9:Justice Strauss

Not much character depth for Justice Strauss, but we got to fill ten characters and she made the marriage scene a little better.

8:Mr. Poe

Although he was a little more helpful, and coughed a little less,  Mr. Poe pretty much came to life in his little annoying self.

7:The Incredibly Deadly Viper

Damn right! The movie performance of the deadly viper was even better than the book role, and even had a more significant .

6:Monty

Uncle Monty I felt came to life, and his weird quirkiness was represented although he didn’t look quite how I imagined he still brought some depth to the movie.

5:Sunny

Though the occasional subtitle was a little less as enjoyable as we know how Sunny speaks in the books, and it feels a little more like the Baudelaire two rather than three sometimes, I still found it impressive that they were able to give Sunny a role after all, and she even brought a few laughs to the screen.

4:Josephine

Aunt Josephine in the movie seemed a little more complete in the long run than the simply nice Uncle Monty, and I thought was enough to make the top five.

3:Klaus

At first he seemed a little winy, but Klaus as the movie digested turned to be a good character. The actor isn’t exactly who I would think of as Klaus, but he still was a lot like his book character, so I’m not one to complain.

2:Violet

Yeah she may not look much like the book character, but I feel like Violet came to life enough for Violet to pass. In the movie she made more inventions, had lore from the book character, and seemed the best character of the siblings for the movie performance.

1:Olaf

Yes, the movie performance possibly better than the book performance. Jim Carrey isn’t exactly the first guy you think to play a sinister villain, but he took a much more comical route. I’m only a third of the way into rereading the series, but I like Jim’s Count Olaf so much he might surpass the less comical Olaf in the books. But he has time to develop before I finish reading, but for now I’ll just remember this version of Count Olaf, and even though he’s more comical, I still think the character came to life.
