the story is nothing like HP. Its based VERY strongly on a Scientific and Industrial idea, everything looks in the stories like machines... almost like a Jules Verne universe. Everything is pale and metallic.
Gender: Male Location: Chaos.
There can only be CHAOS!
I'm just basing it on the preview, and that's my interpretation from the preview. I haven't, and don't plan to, read the books or anything further, most likely.
edit: Upon watching it again, I stand by my previous statement... the kids are orphaned and go to live with someone they don't want to, and there are magical and mystical things going on... I wouldn't say too scientific, it looks like a HarryPotter-esque fantasy film to me.

I'm going to go see it for sure. I'm intrigued by it. It seems like it will be entertaining. The thing I don't get is that in the small print of the movie poster it says, "Jim Carey Jude Law as the voice of Leminey Cricketts" or whatever that character's name is.
I have heard good things about it, and it does look quite good (anything Dark and black like that must have at least some redeeming features), and I respect the series as being the one that finally took Harry Potters place on the New York best sellers list (well, some Harry Potters at least)

I thought Jim Carrey was awesome as Count Olaf. I found myself bored at times though. I didn't necessarily like the film, but I did like the casting, and I did like what Brad Silberling did (he also directed Casper). I think the younger audience will really enjoy it.
