So many fans of the books seem to hate the movie, and i just don't get it. I'm one of the biggest fans you could come across and I loved it. Went to see it in theaters the day it came out and wasn't disappointed.
I get that it wasn't Daniel Handler's vision, but I love the gothic steampunk vibe, and moreover the movie was just stunning visually. The cinematography and production design were some of the best I've seen, and I think Colleen Atwood won an Oscar that year for the costuming.
Anyway, as someone who loves the movie, the pilot episode did throw me a little because of the shift in style (I thought there was too much color at first) but now that I'm almost halfway through I'm totally onboard and I appreciate how much more faithful it is to the books.
