I think not. I would never let my grandchildren watch it until they are 18. Terrible movie. I will never be able to recover these minutes. I could have used them for something more pleasant, like a root canal.
shareI loved this movie ws a kid and so did my siblings.
shareOh a children's movie with some actual substance and life lessons! The horror!!
shareThis is exactly the kind of film I want my descendant children to see!
Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out
It's not a children's movie, it's a family movie. There is a difference.
shareDid Count Olaf lead Baudelaire's house flame?
shareloverboylove- - Yes he did. In the movie near the end it even shows how he had that giant glass thing that was pointed in the direction of the Baudelaires' house. He was the one that burned it down and killed their parents. Klaus uses this same object to light the marriage contract on fire.
I'm a Timelord.
Right, not pompous at all then.
At the end of the film, Lemony Snicket said that the judge had decided that Count Olaf would confront with any evil he did to the children. Was Count Olaf really confronted with train,bloodsuckers, the house to fall down?
And after Count Olaf's exposion about bride the judge says'' Guilty'' in the film,but then Snicket says that the jury found him innocent ?Could you explain this contradiction?
Smart move. Why prepare them for life before hand? Toss 'em in head first, I always say.
shareAre you saying it's not suitable for children, or that you think it's a poor movie, or both? I disagree with both points anyway. A wonderful, substantial and challenging movie for children, with subject matter (eg bereavment, fear, not everyone is nice, grown ups don't pay much attention to you) that they should be dealing with.
It was also wonderfully funny and stunningly gorgeous to look at, for people of all ages.
No Guru, No Method, No Teacher.
Watched with my 6-year-old daughter, she loved it.
shareand I am guessing your grandchildren would have no notion on their own what so ever to pick up one of the books this was based on and read it.
Ephemeron.
We just saw the movie. My 9yo loved it. I didn't know he read the book already (in school!). He wasn't traumatised in any way.
shareI read these books since they first came out. I think I was only about 9 when the first book hit the shelf. I do think it's rather dark for a few children; murder, arson, theft, peril are just some of the common themes in this series. Every child is different. Some cry at the sight of a clown. Some may find The Addams Family right up their alley. That's a "family" movie as well. Dark comedy is always subjective to the audience.
A person hates you because they either wanna be you, see you as a threat, or hate themself
I read the books when I was a kid and I loved them. People have such a tendency to underestimate children, both their intelligence and their capacity to handle anything scarier or more serious than Teletubbies.
shareLet's get some Chinese.
It's not. It's an artistic movie for adults involving children.
She is a lot like you, the dangerous type...
